It can’t be that bad...

President Donald Trump frequently points to the strong economy as one of his major accomplishments, and today's employment summary gives him more bragging rights:

The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics says the economy added a whopping 266,000 jobs in November; and for the sixth month in a row, a record number of Americans were counted as employed.

158,593,000 Americans were working in November, the 24th record of Trump's presidency.

The unemployment rate dropped a tenth of a point to 3.5 percent, a 50-year low.

it appears not that bad and people are working but the debt is a major issue and no politician will discuss it OR stop grossly overspending - wish ron paul was still given some air time...

You’re right about that...they don’t talk about how to get the debt under control because that would mean they have to stop spending, taking and giving the money. They sure do become quite wealthy “serving” us citizens...
