    Posted by LIFTW on September 6, 2019

    By every objective measure, the economy has been at best mediocre, and, when compared to the performance of the economy since Reagan, this economy has been flaccid, especially in 2019.

    Bragging about a 3.6% unemployment rate with 62.8% labor force participation is like bragging about how well a cupcake fits in a ring box. No one wants that cupcake or the ring box.

    There are a lot of indications, not least of which the rhetoric coming out of the White House, that the economy is not as strong as has been sold.

  • Gauging Trump’s Jobs Facade

    Posted by LIFTW on November 17, 2018December 9, 2018

    At 157,000 net jobs created, the preliminary numbers in the July Jobs ReportĀ from the Bureau of Labor StatisticsĀ came in well below the 190,000 jobs expected by market watchers, and well below the average established during Obama's second term.
