And these are the 'cooked' numbers.

If the title of this thread holds for the mid-terms, pretty soon some of the republicans are going to have to start calling things out and accepting that Trump is responsible for serial bad news.  In the past week....
  • Unemployment rose to 4.4%, 
  • Prior months’ job gains revised downward, (as you noted)
  • Manufacturing, transportation, and information sectors all reported cutting jobs... simultaneously.
  • Labor force participation fell, 
  • Oil prices surged above $90, 
  • Stock markets dropped sharply 
  • Iran war is increases all economic uncertainty.
  • higher bond yields and delayed Fed rate cuts
That's THIS WEEK.

Trumps complete lack of a plan, and need to be the center of attention while proving he's in charge, is quickly driving us toward a financial cliff.  All of those "he's a successful business man" supporters need to look up how most of his deals end.... in bankruptcy.

  One of Nico's favourite audiobooks has a nice play on that theme:
"We're not as stupid as we look!
No, at least half as unstupid as you'd think!"
