Any statistics or economic data coming from the government is lies. In the real world inflation has increased prices by ~50% in the last 3 years while wages have been stagnant. Employment is only showing an increase because of people getting a second job. And even that is skewed because of the increase in government jobs, which are only a drain on the economy.
Yeah it seems these agencies providing stats for media dissemination have one interest, assuring the public everything is cool and the current administration is doing a great job.
I do think its ridiculous that Biden has repeatedly used the talking point "look, the US has the greatest economy in the world. IN THE WORLD." In response to criticism over his reckless policies.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Its been that way since after ww2.
The United States is the undisputed heavyweight when it comes to the economies of the world. America's gross domestic product in 2022 was more than 40% greater than that of China, the world No. 2. Even more striking, U.S. GDP was over five times that of the next two largest economies, Japan and Germany...
Nobody is arguing that it isnt, whats your point? How does all this mean that when Joe Biden brings it up, he isnt simply deflecting from answering valid criticisms about his policies?
He certainly cannot take any credit for this status, and it can be argued that if he and his ilk stayed in office long enough that status would likely be a thing of the past.
Youre just doing what Biden is doing. Trying to suggest the fact the US is the dominant power globally, means he knows what he is doing or that his policies are sustainable.
One of Joes most destructive results is that he has jeapordized US dollar hegemony because of his war on fossil fuels stance and the obvious weakness he displayed with the manner of withdrawal from Afghanistan. He showed the Saudis what they should expect if they need us to fulfill our part of the bargain Kissinger made with them in 1973. (Which was the main motivator for the second gulf war in 2003)
They started seriously shopping around for another superpower to ally with after that and kicked Joe to the curb when he went there to ask for their help ramping up production.
Should US dollar hegemony be lost just look out for the economic repercussions.
The Great Depression will look like a god damn picnic compared to what would happen if the dollar crashed against the Euro and Yen and when it was pointed out Biden was expediting this, his people simply replied "its going to happen anyway."
Typical Democrat attitude. Surrender. Defeatist. We dont want the US to be on top any more.
This really brings the "we're number one IN THE WORLD" statements by him in perspective. Lets all get distracted from the fact he is doing his best to end it.
Not that some commie shitbag pillow biter in Canada hasnt been wanting this all along.
81 million votes for 2020 Biden no basic campaigning …. most votes ever in history …… mail in ballots ~16 million for just 11 States reported. 4x increase mail in ….. okay okay now pull a rabbit out of the hat trick. Magic. How many votes were mail in if 11 States had ~16 million at a 4x increased ratio from anytime in history. Hmmmm…. 81 million votes for the big guy sitting in his basement being covered and protected by everyone. Biden News Media darlin recovered from past news media condemnation in 1987 “Joe Biden is done in politics.” “Over” more then voting changed.
All politicians like to brag about the "good things" they have "accomplished" and blame others for the bad things, just try to be objective and find out what the effects are of the policies of those politicians. In order to do that you have to get rid of party politics, ignore the politicians and look at what is actually happening.
The U.S. is just over 4% of the world population and accounts for 25% of the GDP world wide. The U.S., for it's size, is doing extremely well today and, despite some minor setbacks, has been doing extremely well under his predecessors, including Trump. The U.S. dollar is so strong because it is a strong and trusted currency, with all the quantitative easing, I expected it to go down
For example, oil production went up under Biden, oil companies have made record profits. This "war on fossil fuels", is a myth. One day fossil fuels will be unable to compete with renewables. Personally, I think that this is already starting to happen world wide despite the 100% duty Biden is imposing on Chinese made batteries. That will only mean that American consumers will get further behind and a good reason to vote for Trump if he would end tariffs. (will he?) What you should be asking your politicians is, are you willing to manage the (inevitable) transition and if so, how? How are you going to rebuild manufacturing capacity in the U.S. , ore you willing to import the parts?
One day another country will surpass the U.S. as the most powerful nation on earth, militarily as well as economically. You can choose to build alliances to keep the other nations at bay, or you can try to do stand alone. You are correct that other countries are building alliances, most of them are dictators trying to enrich themselves, I doubt those would last, as an alliance will only hold if all countries can be seen doing what they agreed to do, including other potential alliance members.
I am not giving credit to Biden for the record job numbers, or blame Trump for the job losses under his administration. I just recognize that Biden isn't hurting the economy as some people have claimed. The biggest concern any one should have is how quick A.I. will progress. If it is quick, I seriously doubt that either of these old guys will be able to deal with what is coming. I have already seen people loosing their jobs to A.I. And regardless of who you elect, the next president will likely get the blame for the (massive?) job losses even they are not at fault as that is how the free market works. The only thing you can base your choice on right now is the history and policies of the candidates. Pick what is important to you. If you don't like too many foreigners coming in, I can see you vote Trump, if you want to keep government agency positions based on merit rather than party political based, I can see you vote Biden.
Hilarious!!

Very true. But some are pathological liars. If you bothered to take the time to watch him speak, you would know this.......
It is clearly easy to show one side of the coin isn't it? Do you even know how a debt based economy works? And that the dollar is the Petrodollar? And what is going on in other countries to get around that issue? Or the fact that Sense Biden has been in office costs have gone up on average 25%? You sure uninformed for a know it all.
So.... Because Biden is a pathological liar, you think it is ok for you to do the same?
I agree and with the Biden administration it will happen MUCH sooner. A debt based economy has never worked.
This is a excellent example of your bias.
The blind who will not see.
Hmm a foreigner trying to influence an election......... Big surprise......NOT.

One would hope that trump when elected would have an open season for foreigners that attempted to sway the election…
If you want to argue that you don't vote for Biden because he lies, how do you justify voting for Trump, or any other politician?
"Debt based economies"? I think there is not a country in the world that doesn't have debt and they all work to some extend. The US is even thriving...
The job numbers are public record and I went out of my way by not blaming any one or giving any one credit. In which reality is that biased?
I am not trying to influence who you vote for, I am trying to tell you guys to make a semi intelligent choice based on your personal political ideology, whatever that might be.

And the attempted manipulation continues. I choose to judge a person by their actions. As an example 1.4% inflation or perhaps NO WAR, oil independence to name a few.
There will be a time when the world will pay. All you have to do is open your eyes and look at history.
Tell me what would happen to you if you had more debt then you could make the interest on?
There has not been one job report since Biden has been president that has been accurate. EVERY SINGLE report corrected in a LARGE amount and of course NOT reported by the press. And as others have stressed most "new" jobs are part time because people cannot afford there expenses. ( care to guess what happens to average people that cannot make there payments? )
You sir are a lier.
Not to mention that 25% of the new jobs are in government which does little for the economy.
He is far too invested in this to be what he claims to be.
Do you actually believe anyone needs this type of advice? It sounds like something Kamala would say.

well that explains it all... He is a government employee who writes speeches for old Kneepads herself.
Apparently people (on both sides) do need this advice.
"As an example 1.4% inflation or perhaps NO WAR, oil independence to name a few."
That is what I have been trying to tell you, pick the candidate on the issues you happen to agree with. There is no need to invent things like job reports being inaccurate or other nonsense. Try to stay away from nonsense...
We Were "Deceived & Gaslit For Years", All In The Name Of "Democracy"; Then "Poof", It Collapsed Overnight
The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”. That deceit “collapsed” with the Presidential debate, Thursday’.
Baker continues:
If so, then who actually has been ‘pulling America’s strings’ these past years?
Something significant has snapped within ‘the system’. It is always tempting to situate such events in ‘immediate time’, but even Baker seems to allude to a longer cycle of gaslighting and deception – one that only now has suddenly burst into open view.
Such events – though seemingly ephemeral and of the moment – can be portents to deeper structural contradictions moving.
When Baker writes of Biden being the latest ‘flag of convenience’ under which the ruling strata could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life – “on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism and self-lacerating wokery” – it seems probable that he is referring to the 1970s era of the Trilateral Commission and the Club of Rome.
The 1970s and 1980s were the point at which the long arc of traditional liberalism gave place to an avowedly illiberal, mechanical ‘control system’ (managerial technocracy) that today fraudulently poses as liberal democracy.
Emmanuel Todd, the French anthropological historian, examines the longer dynamics to events unfolding in the present: The prime agent of change leading to the Decline of the West (La Défaite de l’Occident), he argues, was the implosion of ‘Anglo’ Protestantism in the U.S. (and England), with its entailed habits of work, individualism and industry – a creed whose qualities were held then to reflect God’s grace through material success, and, above all, to confirm membership of the divine ‘Elect’.
Whereas traditional liberalism had its mores, the decline of traditional values triggered the slide towards managerial technocracy, and to nihilism. Religion lingers on in the West, though in a ‘zombie’ state, Todd avers. Such societies, he argues, flounder – absent some guiding metaphysical sphere that provides people with non-material sustenance.
However, the incoming doctrine that only a wealthy financial élite, tech experts, leaders of multinational corporations and banks possess the required foresight and technological understanding to manipulate a complex and increasingly controlled system changed politics completely.
Mores were gone – and so was empathy. Many experienced the disconnect and the disregard of cold technocracy.
So when a senior WSJ editor tells us that the ‘deception and ‘gaslighting’ collapsed with the CNN Biden-Trump debate, we should surely pay attention; He is saying the scales finally fell from peoples’ eyes.
What was being gaslighted was the fiction of democracy and also that of America declaring itself – in its own scripture – to be the trailblazer and pathfinder of humanity: America as the exceptional nation: the singular, the pure-of-heart, the baptizer, and redeemer of all peoples despised and downtrodden; the “last, best hope of earth”.
The reality was very different. Of course, states can ‘live a lie’ for a long period. The underlying problem – the point Todd makes so compellingly – is that you can be successful in deceiving and manipulating public perceptions, but only up to a point.
The reality was, it simply was not working.
The same is true of ‘Europe’.
The EU’s aspiration to become a global geo-political actor too, was contingent on gaslighting the public that France, Italy and Germany et al could continue to be real national entities – even as the EU scooped up all national decision-making prerogatives, by deceit. The mutiny at the recent European elections reflected this discontent.
Of course, Biden’s condition has been long known. So who then has been running affairs; making critical daily decisions about war, peace, the composition of the judiciary and the boundaries of state authority? The WSJ piece gives one answer: “Unelected advisers, party hacks, scheming family members and random hangers-on make the critical daily decisions” on these issues.
Maybe we have to reconcile to the fact that Biden is an angry, senile man who yells at his staff: “During meetings with aides who are putting together formal briefings, some senior officials have at times gone to great lengths to curate the information in an effort to avoid provoking a negative reaction”.
“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’” said one senior administration official. “It’s very difficult and people are scared sh*tless of him.” The official added, “He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it”.
Seymour Hersh, the well-known investigative journalist reports:
Of course, Jake Sullivan and Blinken sit at the centre of what is called the ‘inter-agency’ view. This where policy mostly is discussed. It is not coherent – with its locus in the National Security Committee – but rather is spread through a matrix of interlocking ‘clusters’ that includes the Military Industrial Complex, Congressional leaders, Big Donors, Wall Street, the Treasury, the CIA, the FBI, a few cosmopolitan oligarchs and the princelings of the security-intelligence world.
All these ‘princes’ pretend to have a foreign policy view, and fight like cats to protect their fiefdom’s autonomy. Sometimes they channel their ‘take’ via the NSC, but if they can, they will ‘stovepipe’ it directly to one or other ‘key actor’ with the ear of one, or other, Washington ‘village’.
Nonetheless, at bottom, the 1992 Wolfowitz doctrine which underscored American supremacy at all costs, in a post-Soviet world – together with “stamping out rivals, wherever they may emerge” – still today remains the ‘current doctrine’ framing the ‘inter-agency’ baseline.
Dysfunction at the heart of a seemingly functioning organization may persist for years without any real public awareness or appreciation of the descent into dysfunctionality. But then suddenly – when a crisis hits, or Presidential debate misfires – ‘poof’ and we see clearly the collapse of the manipulation that has confined discourse to within the various Washington villages.
In this light, some of the structural contradictions that Todd noted as contributory factors to western decline become unexpectedly ‘illuminated’ by events: Baker highlighted one: The key Faustian bargain: the pretence of a liberal democracy operating in tandem with a ‘classic’ liberal economy versus the reality of an illiberal oligarchic leadership sitting atop a hyper-financialised corporate economy that has both sucked the life from the classic organic economy, and created toxic inequalities too.
The second agent of western decline is Todd’s observation that the implosion of the Soviet Union rendered the U.S. so cock-a-hoop that the latter triggered a paradoxical unleashing of global ‘Rules-Based Order’ expansion of empire versus the reality that the West was already being consumed from its roots upwards.
The third agent to decline lay, Todd argues, with America declaring itself to be the greatest military nation on earth – versus the reality of an America that has long rid itself of much of its manufacturing capacity (particularly the military capacity), yet elects to clash with a stabilized Russia, a great power returned, and with China which has instantiated itself as the world’s manufacturing Behemoth (including militarily).
These unresolved paradoxes became the agents of western decline, Todd maintained. He has a point.

Seymour Hersh, the well-known investigative journalist reports:
On the one hand, Politico tells us: “Biden’s insular senior team are well acquainted with the longtime aides who continue to have the president’s ear: Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed, as well as Ted Kaufman and Klain on the outside”.

"Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. Symptoms start slowly. The first symptom may be a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also may cause stiffness or slowing of movement.
In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little or no expression. Your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred. Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time."

- Speech changes. You may speak softly or quickly, slur, or hesitate before talking. Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than have the usual speech patterns.
- Impaired posture and balance. Your posture may become stooped. Or you may fall or have balance problems as a result of Parkinson's disease.
- Loss of automatic movements. You may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.

"Alzheimer's stages: How the disease progresses
Alzheimer's disease can last more than a decade. See what types of behaviors are common in each of the stages as the disease progresses.By Mayo Clinic Staff
Alzheimer's disease tends to develop slowly and gradually worsens over several years. Eventually, Alzheimer's disease affects most areas of your brain. Memory, thinking, judgment, language, problem-solving, personality and movement can all be affected by the disease.
There are five stages associated with Alzheimer's disease. They include:
- Preclinical Alzheimer's disease.
- Mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease.
- Mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
- Moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
- Severe dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
The five Alzheimer's stages can help you understand what might happen. But it's important to know that these stages are only rough generalizations. The disease is a continuous process. Each person has a different experience with Alzheimer's and its symptoms."
