Democrat Conspiracy

[Sheldon]

That is addressed in the article I quoted, I can't post any links yet. 

It also doesn't actually provide any evidence to support your claim here:


The figures I sourced and quoted do not support that claim.

The rate under was historically lowest at the time. It reached a lower point under Biden in March 2023 and rose again. Figuring in inflation, we were worse off.

So Biden despite dealing with the aftermath of the Covid pandemic, achieved a record low, which again does not seem to support your original assertion, and no offence, but I am still wondering if you ever offer more than bald assertion?

Immediately before the pandemic the black unemployment rate was 6.1%. As of now it is 6.3%. in the first quarter of 2024.  Blacks earned an average of $303 per week compared to $293 a week in the first quarter of 2024.  Throw in the effect of out of control inflation and it's no wonder so many are going to Trump.  Black support for trump is now around 17% and Latino support is around 50%.

"Fact check: Biden, not Trump, has the record lows for Black unemployment and poverty"

"Former President Donald Trump is making a concerted effort to win over Black voters – in part by making inaccurate claims.


During a Saturday roundtable discussion at a predominately Black church in Detroit, Trump said President Joe Biden “has done nothing for you except talk,” adding: “We achieved the lowest African American unemployment rate and the lowest African American poverty rate ever recorded – ever, ever recorded – during my four years.”

Facts First: Trump’s claims about having achieved the lowest Black unemployment rate and poverty rate ever recorded were true when he made them before Biden took office, but they are not true today. Both of the record lows set during Trump’s presidency were surpassed by new record lows during Biden’s presidency."

I am still unable to use links, but you don't seem to be offering any citations anyway.

Lek is your typical deceitful, dishonest, moronic christard, he'll never let facts stand in the way.

You would be better served to talk to almost anyone else on the forum.  This one does a drive-by now and then when he hears his dog-whistle.  Not worth the effort of reading or responding.  

One positive - he is consistent (and predictable).

^His consistency and predictability stems largely from never thinking to fact-check what he hears from the MAGA echo chamber.

For example, he never thinks to reference the conclusion of 16 Nobel laureates in Economics that Trump’s policies would reignite inflation, while Biden’s would lower it. The same conclusion was reached by a poll by the Wall Street Journal of professional economists.

If facts don’t fit the narrative, ignore them.

Conservatives have to embrace their lies. It's the only way they can remain conservative.

Why was inflation so low under Trump during his last administration? 1.9%

Why do you ignore everything that's been posted towards your tripe?

Just some bits and pieces.

The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers.

• The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
  
  
• Paychecks grew faster than inflation. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.7% after inflation.
  
  
• After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%.
  
  
• The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
  
  
• The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
  
  
• The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
  
  
• Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.
  
  
• Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.
  
  
• Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.
  
  
• Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.
  
  
• The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.
  
  
• Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats.

Murder rate 1997 6.68%. -8.48%
2021 6.81% +6.02%
Trade deficit has risen continually under Biden and now is at a record high.

No one can argue that illegal immigration is through the roof under Biden. City mayors are crying out for federal help as they are overrun with illegals. Citizens are losing benefits because the money is going to them.

Home ownership is totally out of reach today for the younger generations. Ownership rose under Trump according to your own statistics.

Coal production has continued to decline under Biden.

Handgun sales are at record levels presently.

Inflation has beaten us to death.
