🧵Biden's economic records indicating a massive boom underway, from those working full-time to corporate profits, with graphs and links to definitive sources. #BidenBoom

The number of people working full-time hit the all-time record in March 2022. 1/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS1250…
Real (inflation-adjusted) GDP hit record level in Q4 '21, after regaining the pre-pandemic peak in Q2 '21. This measures the size of the economy for both production and income. 2/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1
Americans are the richest ever measured by net worth, which reached $150 trillion for the first time in Q4 '21. This was due to stock and housing booms. 3/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TNWBSHNO
The number of job openings hit a record 11.5 million in March 2022, another sign of the booming labor market and immigration restriction. There are about 2 open jobs per unemployed person, also a record. 4/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTSJOL
The stock market (S&P 500) reached an all-time record 4,797 on January 3, 2022. Inheriting a near-record stock market level, Biden still set the presidential record of a 37% return measured for his first year from election, with a peak of +42%. 5/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SP500
Housing prices, as measured by the median sales price of houses sold, reached an all-time record of $428,700 in Q1 '22, a nearly $70,000 or 20% gain from Q4' 20. About 65% of American households own the home they live in. 6/
fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS
A record few persons are receiving unemployment compensation, with the share of the labor force at an all-time low of 0.86% in April 2022. This is yet another sign of a very hot labor market. 7/
fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?graph_i…
The federal budget deficit is falling at a record pace, and not just because pandemic spending programs are ending. Revenues are up enormously, nearly $1 trillion versus fiscal year 2019 pre-pandemic, due to high incomes and economic activity. 8/
cbo.gov/publication/57…
Corporate profits are about 40% above pre-pandemic levels, reaching an all-time record of $2.7 trillion in Q4 '21. Democrats appear to be good for business! 9/END

🧵The MSM created 4 fake crises (Inflation, Immigration, Housing, and Crime), which helped Trump get elected while hiding record prosperity. Here are slides explaining the counter-arguments to such misinformation, plus a few charts and links included for more details. 1/ Image
Facts regarding the false narratives on housing and crime. 2/ Image
Wages & Inflation should be reported in context. Purchasing power is what matters.
☑️Wages have outgrown inflation.
☑️Real (inflation-adjusted) wages have always been higher than 2019 during 2021-2024.
☑️Biden has the highest avg. real wages among the last 11 presidents. 3/ Image

🧵President Biden's economic legacy, in charts. First, the unemployment rate at 4.1% on average is the lowest (best) among the last 14 presidents, for FRED data back to 1948. 1/ Image
The real (infl-adj) hourly wages for production & non-supervisory workers (the bottom 80% of the private sector) averaged higher under Biden than the last 11 presidents. In other words, workers had more purchasing power under Biden than other presidents, despite inflation. 2/ Image
Taking the first two charts together, Biden has the best combination of unemployment and real wages among the last 11 presidents. This is the best reading on the "Prosperity Matrix" of any modern president. 3/ Image

🧵Monthly economic update, through November:
First, job creation was +227,000 jobs, or +283,000 after upward adjustments to Sept & Oct. We're now +16.4 million jobs from when Biden started and +7.0 million vs. pre-pandemic peak regained in June 2022. 1/ Image
🏆Biden is the only president with positive job creation every month in office.

No matter how you slice and adjust it, job creation is much faster under Biden than Trump:

Biden July 2022-present: +239,000 / month
Trump pre-pandemic: +180,000 / month 2/ Image
The unemployment rate increased by 0.1% in November, to 4.2%. The historical average back to 1948 is 5.7%. The 2022 & 2023 annual average of 3.6% was lower than Trump's best of 3.7% in 2019. The last 3.5% year was 1969. 3/ Image

🧵How Democrats should talk about the economy, in plain language:

1. Biden has the lowest unemployment rate on average among the last 11 presidents.

2. Workers have the highest real hourly wages (purchasing power) on average under Biden, despite inflation. 1/ Image
If you want job creation, elect a Democrat president. Amazingly, 98% of job creation since 1989 was under Democratic presidents, 50 million to 1 million.

If you pretend the pandemic didn't happen and charge Bush 43 for the 2009 jobs losses, you get 46 to 6. 2/ Image
Biden delivered an incredibly low unemployment rate, best among the last 11 presidents as mentioned. The unemployment rate averaged 3.6% in both 2022 and 2023. Trump's best was 3.7% in 2019. You have to go back to 1969 for a 3.5% year. 3/ Image

🧵In debating the economy, Democrats get caught arguing in the box Republican and media set.

First, what matters is purchasing power (income relative to prices), not inflation. Purchasing power has been above 2019 throughout the Biden era. 1/
"Wages have outgrown inflation so you're better off" should have been the party line from the start. Too often, Democrats apologized for the price level, or talked about how the inflation rate was slowing. 2/ Image
Democrats also got caught arguing about "Border Security" as opposed to saying "Immigrants make us all richer" or "Boomers retiring in droves means we need lots of immigrant workers." Trump blocked meaningful bi-partisan reform. 3/

@RadioFreeTom Biden's first term was the most successful economically since the late 1960's. Wages, net worth, stocks, GDP and housing far outgrew inflation. The 3.6% unemployment rates in 2022 & 2023 were better than 2019 at 3.7%. Biden's job creation much faster no matter how it's sliced. Image
