  1. Opinion ANDY PUZDER: Does Biden deserve credit for economic recovery? Here's a realistic look at the numbers It’s good to remember GDP is a year-over-year number. In other words, it’s easier to have a high percentage increase in the current year if you’re rolling over a large decrease in the prior year. In 2020, red and blue state governors shut down their states’ economies to slow the pandemic’s spread. With our economy shut down, GDP understandably declined by a significant 3.4%, the largest drop since at least 1948. So, with the bar set at an historic low of -3.4% in 2020, GDP naturally rebounded in 2021. No surprise here. The fact is that when states reopened, given the depths to which the economy sank, GDP was going to increase no matter what. To make the nature of this 5.7% increase even clearer, let’s look at GDP dollars (as opposed to percentages). In 2019 (pre-pandemic), GDP was about $19 trillion. Because the economy was shut down for much of 2020, GDP dropped to about $18.4 trillion. In 2021, it rose again to about $19.4 trillion. That’s an increase for 2021 of 2% over 2019, a fairer comparison and a less than impressive gain. The fact is that when states reopened, given the depths to which the economy sank, GDP was going to increase no matter what Biden did. As it turns out, GDP increased only 2% over its pre-pandemic level – and that was with gargantuan government spending. That brings us to Biden’s second claim – "a record number of jobs created." Because of the pandemic-induced economic shutdowns, the economy lost about 9.4 million jobs in 2020, the steepest job loss on record. As we emerged from the pandemic, we recovered about 6.5 million jobs in 2021, or a return of 70% of the jobs we lost. In other words, while a large number of people have returned to work (Biden claims these are jobs his policies "created"), we’re still 2.9 million jobs, or 30%, below pre-pandemic levels.

Well, it turns out that the red states leading the way in reopening their economies are also leading the way in creating jobs. Video

  12. For the thousandth time, no one is "mad" at TexasAg1969 and the others. No one is "attacking" them. We're laughing at them. They're getting angry over a candy. We're laughing at their rage. I don't see how that is so hard to understand. And for those that have understood that, and realize they're being ridiculous, the response has been posting unrelated left wing articles, gay jokes, and trying to obscure the whole original conversation. So, no surprise. One group got triggered over a cartoon candy being less sexy. That group is laughable. That's where this ends. That group can flail around about "woke culture" all they want. That doesn't change the fact they got mad over a cartoon candy.

Democratic Governor Tom Wolf's administration plans to appeal the ruling against mail-in voting to the state Supreme Court [File: Matt Slocum/AP Photo] Published On 28 Jan 202228 Jan 2022 A court in the US state of Pennsylvania sided with Republican legislators on Friday in striking down a state law that had eliminated barriers to voting by mail, raising a question mark about ballot access in the political battleground state ahead of crucial election contests later this year. A five-judge panel agreed with Republicans who had challenged the law, Act 77, saying the state’s constitution required people to vote in person unless they had a specific excuse, such as having a disability or being away from home on Election Day.
