The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't count "people who returned to work after calling in sick" as an added job.
All Great Repub Crashes that wipe out millions of jobs, as Trump's did, are counted as jobs lost. All Great Dem Recoveries and Expansions that recover and create jobs, as Biden's is doing at a historic pace and level, are counted as jobs gained.

There is no history of Dems producing and presiding over the half dozen or so major economic downturns of the past century, only Repubs. There is no history of Repubs producing and presiding over the half dozen or so major economic expansions of the past century, only Dems.
I think your response is the most convincing evidence yet that the wingers' political party preference is more about stupidity and incompetence rather than intention when it comes to the Repubs' consistent economic failures.

And Trump's disciples parroting that ridiculous, discredited slogan every time they have a chance -- what an embarrassment!

The one-term, twice-impeached former guy (and our current crop of fascist representatives and fascist posters) also use some other tactics common to what was used in Germany. 1. Always deny that you said it or did it, even though there is a video or audio record of you saying it or doing it. Keep denying until it is no longer newsworthy; 2. Move the goal posts when you get backed into a corner. This is especially important as it gives you time to dream up another lie; 3. Always attack; 4. Always belittle. Use derisive nicknames if possible because people with a low IQ will think it is funny, and, most importantly, 5. Keep repeating the lie until it becomes acceptable. It doesn't make any difference if it is a small lie or a whopper. In fact, the bigger the lie, the louder and longer you must yell. Eventually the sheep will believe anything.

4. Stay as vague as possible and deflect when challenged. Facts don't matter. Only faith matters.
5. It's not a lie when you believe in it.

Posts: 4284 states employment back to pre pandemic levels
Further proof Biden has created zero jobs in a year. Only four states are back to employment levels pre pandemic when Trump was president. Biden needs 5 million more jobs created to get to Trump record employment numbers.
Texas has bounced back after two years of pandemic-related unemployment spikes and is currently outperforming its pre-COVID-19 levels of unemployment.
Arizona, Utah and Idaho are the only other three states to regain all the jobs lost to the pandemic, The Wall Street Journal noted Tuesday.
New York, on other hand, is lagging far behind the Lone Star State. New York State Budget Director told reporters on Tuesday that the state has recovered less than two-thirds of the jobs lost due to the pandemic. The economy is still 5 million jobs under the peak reached before the pandemic, according to Forbes.

Democrats voted Biden in because he was a moderate democrat. Now that he is catering to the socialists he is losing the support of the moderates. If you are moderate democrat you are against his policies that are bringing in record inflation. If you are a socialist you blame the republicans, Trump, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Your support of Biden disaster proves you are a socialist. No denying it.

Posts: 711There is so much hyperbole and left wing exaggeration in your rant. You are the opposite of what an educated liberal is or once was. I asked before: do you have any idea what Liberalism stands for? The answer is, No you don't. The evidence is in all you posts on this forum. But unlike yourself, I have a life and therefore I do not have the time to go into every one of your ridiculous and unfounded accusations. I will just explain a few. Try to concentrate. And maybe take a Prozac before you read this.
1. "Woke". The favorite fascist label. It means "Here is somebody who is educated and can think for themselves. I hate them because I am uneducated and I know that Tucker "Nobody in their right mind can believe anything I say" Carlson is right all the time."
Where the fuck do find the BS to assume my education level? I most likely have far more education than you and I most likely received my education from better schools and universities than you as well. It also seems apparent that you watch Carlson a lot more than I. Why are so so fixated on this person? And why do you need to vilify people with whom you disagree politically by attempting to attach them to this person who may or may not deserve the vilification? This is an old Communist ploy.
2. "According to you, Democrats don't support "freedom of speech" yet Repugs continually muzzle people who don't tow the party line (see Cheney, Liz)."
That is right. Just go to any University of California class room or dorm and say something / anything that is not accepted party orthodoxy and see what happens. Or do the same at any California high tech company like for example Google. Say something like, "all lives matter" or "illegal aliens do not have the right to vote in American elections" and see what happens to that person's grade point average or career. That is Proof that there is no tolerance for free speech or free thought in American Universities or American Boardrooms. I just proved it. Why do you deny it?
3. "According to you, Democrats don't support "freedom of assembly" because Democrats believe that the January 6th riot was a riot."
Jan 6 was bad and the persons who committed crimes on Jan 6 should be tried in a court of law. I believe most conservatives will admit that. Tell me of one Democrat who publicly condemns the Antifa / BLM riots. Riots where 100's of people were killed and injured, and hundreds of millions of dollars of property was destroyed. Many Jan 6 rioters are still in jail, having been denied bail and are awaiting trial. How many Antifa / BLM rioters have been charged with anything or spent any time in jail? And what about Nancy Pelosie's role in the Jan 6 riots. Is the House of Representatives going to investigate her reported negligence? It was her job to request the National Guard to protect the Capital. Trump recommended that 1000 National Guard be stationed around the Capital on Jan 5. Why didn't Nancy request the guard?
4. "According to you, Democrats don't support "free elections" yet there will be close to zero Repub Senators who vote for the Voting Rights Act."
The Marxist "voting rights" act which you bring up and blindly support is not about free and open elections. There you ago again. Just because your leaders say it is a voting rights act does not make it a voting rights act. Read the fucker! It is about ending free and open elections and guaranteeing that the left wins every election from now on just like in the Soviet Union and Communist China. But you don't really want to discuss this act in detail. That would expose its real intent. You just shout out "voting rights act" and demand that everyone submit or be labeled a racist or some other epitaph. That is fascist.
5. So, "Who / what the fascists?" I have narrowed down your childish list for you:
ANTIFA. Totalitarians, anarchists, brown shirts, and Marxists like you.
Black Lives Matter. Absolutely, read their fucking charter. They admit they are a Marxist organization. Why don't you admit you are a Marxist or a totalitarian? That is what you are. Why pretend otherwise?
Progressives. Sadly yes. Most Progressives are just sheep not closely examining what the Democratic party has become, but the leaders of the movement are most definitely power hungry Marxist or cowards. The ones running the Biden White House are Marxist. That is obvious. Senator Sanders admits it. At least he is honest about it. Why can't you be honest about it too?
