| August had slow job growth. |
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics release its monthly analysis. It shows that jobs are cooling.
Economists see a falloff in employment. They believe that August is usually a month where individuals leave their summer jobs to return to school or leave for family life.
The worries are there. They say for the time being, the economy is stable.
On average the working rate is 62.9%. That means 37.1% of Americans aren't working. So in general that means 95 million Americans aren't working.
I've devoted most of my postings to Sean "Softball" Hannity and that old fart Rush Limbaugh. They are the two most annoying and most controversial figures in the junk food media. They are well paid conservative agitators who build a legacy of profit outrage.
They had demonized Barack Obama during his eight years as President of the United States.
They encouraged Donald J. Trump to run. They successfully got him into the White House. Now as the leader, Trump is trying his best to rewrite history. He is often crediting himself for every successful jobs report. There hasn't been a major law that had put Americans to work. I mean a few executive orders helped build government agencies but it's not resulting in hiring.
To strengthen the military, you must have companies invest. So far, I haven't seen much hiring at federal agencies like a military base for civilian work.
Trump claimed that he inherited a mess when he took office.
He said that he will make America work again. He will promise great jobs with great pay.
Trump declared he will bring 25 million jobs to the country. So far, we're at 1.6 million.
I haven't seen any great pay. I work 40 hours a week. I am making below the average income and dealing with being a far-away father. Mind you, I am striving as well as millions of others. But for the rich and well-off, we're leeches on society.
Trump wants to gut Obama-era laws and regulations to spark job growth. So far his executive orders haven't really motivated hiring. I mean the jobs aren't coming back.
We have a retail crisis. Many big box stores are folding and the looming effects could spell disaster.
Sears Holdings Group could take America into a recession. When they decide to close up Kmart and Sears locations across the United States and Canada, it may trigger a domino effect that could shake up major retailers.
Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Kroger, Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, Whole Foods, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Office Depot, Macy's, JC Penney, Belk, Dillards, BonTon and Publix are going to suffer soon.
The cost of living is rising. The cost of food, gas, energy and resources are going to rise. People aren't pulling in enough to pay for their car, their home, their cable bill, their phone bill and their groceries.
Expect the damages in Texas to displace millions of Americans. Expect Americans to be out of jobs because of the effects of Hurricane Harvey.
Expect the Hurricane Irma to hit the east.
I hear the word vomit for the softball. He complains that he believes that Trump will get Americans off food stamps and back to work. He often repeats this notion that millions of Americans on food stamps is a bad thing.
Without that safety net, people would rob, steal and kill for food. Remember the softball said back in 2012, that Obama allowed Americans to eat out of dumpsters. Well, down in Texas, I guess Trump is allowing people to eat out of dumpsters.
Millions of Americans will be on food stamps. Hopefully Texas governor Greg Abbott didn't sign a bill that limits the necessary funds to a family of four or a single parent.
What Happened To Trump's Promise To Make Blacks Work Again?
I remind you that there are reasons to why Americans aren't working.
DEATH
BIRTH
RETIREMENT
FIRED FROM A JOB
LAID OFF FROM A JOB
QUIT A JOB
STAY A HOME PARENT
DISABILITY
GIVING UP ON WORK
IN PRISON
ACTIVE MILITARY
SCHOOL AGE (UNDER 16)
VOLUNTEER
ACTIVE PART TIME WORK ONLY
COLLEGE
HIGH SCHOOL
RELIGIOUS REASONS
With a looming retail crisis, Trump and his supporters continue to ignore the signs of collapsing economy. Republicans spent most of Obama's eight years demonizing his policies, his proposals and the results. Now they're acting like nothing ever happened. They are trying to rewrite history.
Progressives aren't letting the conservatives get away with it. They continue to hold the Republicans and conservatives accountable for their ineptness.
Progressives vow they'll make Trump's term a stressful one. You can talk a mean game from the sidelines, but when you're in charge of 326 million Americans, you're decisions mean "life or death."
