(18,744 posts)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.

(5,120 posts)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.
