The Trump Presidency

Sturg, compare the wealth of the middle or 4th quintile to to that of the top quintile and, more instructively, to the top 1% over the last 4-5 decades. That's a good place to start.

Opportunity awaits those that want to make the right choices in theirblife. We are essentially in a labor shortage right now.

The right has to figure out how to explain to the minority immunities that leftist policies destroy them.
 
The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate for African-Americans fell to 6.8 percent in December – the lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1972. That’s an astounding drop from the 8.3 percent black unemployment rate in October 2016, just before Donald Trump was elected president.

Hispanic unemployment was at a near-record low of 4.9 percent in December – down from 5.7 percent the month before the election of President Trump. Additionally, there were four months in 2017 in which the Hispanic seasonal unemployment fell below 5 percent – the only time that has occurred in a single year over the past 44 years

“God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America.” This quote attributed to Bismarck, the great Prussian prime minister, says that Americans are lucky. And part of the fracking success is certainly luck because America is rich in hydrocarbons. But the fracking revolution could not have happened without the American entrepreneurs and scientists who contributed their talent and hard work, the workers who braved rough conditions in remote locations, the investors who risked their capital, and the politicians who created the favorable regulatory framework.

What capitalism is all about

To parrot 57, if you have a point to make, make it.

I went through this over several pages in another thread. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, quintiles are stronger today, while the lower two are weaker today.

No matter how you slice it, that's good. While it may be true that the "middle" quintile has shrunk, it's 100% because people have gotten richer. In what world is this a bad thing?

The only way you can complain about this is if you support equal outcomes, and at this point I'm not certain that you don't so please go ahead and clarify

If anyone cares to read this article you might be surprised to learn that Obamas job growth was not all that impressive.

I don't think the website zero hedge lived up to their name this time. It was not 94% worth of PT jobs. It was alternative work, which includes things such as contract work where you work for one firm and are sent to another business. Many of those jobs are FT hours.

I know exactly what that is as I work in a profession where this is used oftrn. Those positions are often without benefits and it was as the article indicated a strength of Obamas great economic record.
 
Corporate layoff announcement was lowest its been since 1990.

But 57 and goldy can keep telling us that things haven't changed

There is no message and policies from their side. It's all emotion. The reality is they don't want minorities to be independent of government freebies. Less votes.

Care to compare the rate of growth over time amongst those groups?
