Here it is - our #jobsday thread.....

34m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton Obama
7.4 jobs = Biden
2m jobs = 16 yrs Bush Bush Trump

3 times as many Biden jobs as last 3 GOP Presidents COMBINED. 1/
Of the 43m net new jobs created in America since 1989 41m - 95% - have been created under Democratic Presidents. 2/
Job creation is happening at more than 50x the rate under Biden as under the last 3 GOP Presidents.

Biden = 568,000 jobs a month
3 GOPers = 9,700 jobs a month.

Yes that's only 9,700 jobs a month over 16 years. 3/
GDP growth, a GOP fav.

GDP growth under Biden so far 3 times the rate of last 3 GOP Presidents. 3 times. 4/
Came up with this stat today:

More Biden jobs in last 4 months than in 16 years of last 3 GOP Presidents COMBINED. 5/

New @NavigatorSurvey polling finds that people are opening to hearing the good economic news, and that it can be persuasive.

Think we are all sick and tired of being sick and tired. 6/
@NavigatorSurvey New @NavigatorSurvey shows that Dems can get credit for getting us through COVID if we take credit.....7/
Our President @POTUS has

☑️gotten us through to the other side of COVID

☑️ushered in one of strongest economies in decades

☑️rallied the world against Russia, revitalized the West

We need to be loud and proud. 8/

And even on inflation new data shows that due to the strong economy most Americans came out ahead in 2021.

Strong work here in @monthly from @robshapiro....9/

Agree 100% w/@anildash - things are better. For everyone.

7.4m new jobs
5.7% GDP growth
5m w/health insurance
Most new business start ups in 2021 in history
Real wages up

"The State of the Union is strong because you the American people are strong." 10/
@anildash Possible a very good State of the Union has righted the ship a bit.....would make sense. Biden has been under-performing in polls his actual performance as President, and a correction was inevitable. 11/

A thread about the most important least understood story in US politics today:

when Democrats are in power the economy booms, things get better. With GOP, not so much.

Since 1989 43m jobs have been created in US 41m - 95% - have come under D Presidents.
In a related essay, I discuss how the GOP's inability to craft a successful governing approach since the Cold War ended is critical to understanding the American right's descent's into MAGA, authoritarianism. 2/

The stats tell the story:

95% of all jobs created in US since 1989 have come under Dems

3 times more Biden jobs in 1 yr than over 16 yrs of last 3 GOP POTUS COMBINED

Over those 16 yrs GOP Pres averaged only 9,700 new jobs a month. Biden 50x that. 3/

The Biden Boom keeps booming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only two periods in the post WWII era where America experienced such strong growth and such a low unemployment rate was during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

We are literally living in the one of the strongest economies in US history right now.

More jobs have been created in the last 4 months (2.4m) than were created during the entire Presidencies, over 16 years, of the last 3 GOP Presidents COMBINED (1.9m).

Watch. Share. This really matters.

Am just in awe of @ZelenskyyUa.

Putin is a monster. So are his American enablers, Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone, Mike Pompeo, Devin Nunes.

My great hope for the Biden Presidency, as I wrote in this @Letras_Libres essay in 2020, was for him to lead a reinvigoration of the global liberal order imagined and built by US after WWII.

What we might be witnessing now. And it’s remarkable to see.

ndn.org/reconstruir-me…
When I think of Biden and his role in US history, I always saw him as a potential modern day Cincinnatus, coming out of retirement to save the Republic.

That feels more true today than any other day of his still young Presidency.
And the cowardice and complicity of the GOP in the face of the dark Putin-Trump alliance will become as known to future generations as Zelenskyy's bravery and courage.

It is the essential contrast of the moment.

Do watch. Connect with what is happening there. Be inspired by the incredible courage Ukrainians are showing. #StandWithUkraine

Come to understand what a monster Putin is, be angry at his enablers here in the US, recognize the enormity of their betrayal.
Russia has attacked our country too. That attack was covered up, memory holed by Trump and his MAGA followers.

There needed to be a reckoning for what Putin has done, and it appears that day is finally here. We need to resolute about what comes next.

Noted economist @robshapiro out w/a new analysis in @monthly showing that even after inflation Americans were better off in 2021.

The more the data we have the more we come to understand just how successful Joe Biden's economic plan has been. 1/

washingtonmonthly.com/2022/02/23/not…
The Council of Economy Advisors released a report yesterday with new data showing that real wages were up for all Americans, and as Rob writes in his piece, the biggest gains were in the bottom 50%. 2/

Why we've been arguing that Dems need to be selling the success of Biden's plan, and talking far less about inflation/lowering costs.

Our fear is that by leading w/lowering costs we end up raising/validating central GOP attack against us.
