It's no accident that Joe's economy is breaking all records, he's invested in working people since the first day he took office, and he's worked tirelessly to get vaccines in arms and offer businesses guidelines for operating safely.

He needs to take a month long victory lap, historic! And the US economy outgrew China's in 2021 for the first time in 20 years!

after a previous year I was on unemployment the whole year.

The country is emerging from a pandemic-caused recession. Of course the statistics look good compared to the crash in 2020.

Nobody 'created' jobs. The jobs were 'recovered', as they are after all recessions. What caused the recovery was the vaccines becoming available.

Please stop disingenuously characterizing a recovery as a fantastic achievement. You can always stimulate an economy with heavy deficit spending during a recession, if you spend enough money, but it's not rocket science.

Now watch the Fed bring it all down by raising interest rates this year.
