9 Nines Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 3.3 Million Jobless Claims Filed Last Week March 26, 2020 at 8:32 am EDT U.S. unemployment claims soared to 3.3 million as layoffs from coronavirus engulfed the economy, CNBC reports. “The number shatters the Great Recession peak of 665,000 in March 2009 and the all-time mark of 695,000 in October 1982.” “Consensus estimates from economists surveyed by Dow Jones showed an expectation for 1.5 million new claims, though individual forecasts on Wall Street had been anticipating a much higher number. The surge comes amid a crippling slowdown brought on by the coronavirus crisis.” Wall Street Journal: “Millions of Americans, already fearful the new coronavirus could infect them or their families, now have two new worries: When will the job machine start again? And can they hold out until it does?” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some on the Dem side that will take advantage of anything they can try to tie to Trump in a negative manner. The problem is, with this huge crash it will be followed by a surge before the election. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those good 'ole days when we actually though he was the stupid one. I always said during the election that the worst thing about Trump was that he made me miss Dubya. Of course, that was until he got elected... And honestly, if you look back on it critically, there is an argument to be made that Dubya was worse (up until the pandemic hit, anyway). He got us into Iraq for no reason and we are still dealing with the repercussions to this day. He totally mismanaged Katrina. The economic crisis wasn’t all his fault, but certainly they made things worse right up until the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same poster was in a frenzy over the Dow being down to pre Trump levels. Tuco is enjoying it he thinks Joe Biden is smart. Because he knew it would rustle your jimmies.

OILERMAN Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Go cry somewhere else The GOP's no-compromise pledge Republicans pledging to embrace an agenda for the next two years that sounds a lot like their agenda for the past two: Block Obama at all costs. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
