But wouldnt you know it, GOP leaders on the Hill responded to the job numbers by saying literally nothing about the good news. No press releases, no tweets and no public comments. They literally found themselves speechless.
These same Republicans were similarly at a loss for words a month ago. And the month before that. And the month before that. And the month before that. And the month before that.
In fact, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy hasnt issued a statement in response to U.S job data since January, when he released this gem lamenting news he considered disappointing.
Our economy should be soaring right now, but the policies of this administration continue to stifle growth and hold back American businesses and workers.... In less than 12 months, the Biden administration has sabotaged what should have been a V-shaped recovery.
The House GOP leader was referring to jobs data from December 2021 a month that we now know saw job creation at 588,000 as the unemployment rate improved sharply. No one rooting for an economic recovery had reason to be disappointed by any of this.

If something good happens under a Republican, it is true.
If something bad happenes under a Republcan, it is the Democrats' fault.
If something good happens under a Democrat, it simply didn't happen.
If this is not engraved in gold on a marble plaque somewhere in the Fox Noise building, it's only because the Republicans were too cheap to spend the money for the gopld leaf.

(2,546 posts)It's the tired trope that the job numbers aren't good news because Dems fudge the figures.
I've asked for proof - to show me different counting methods, but there's never an answer.
