WATCH: Biden says he's leaving economy 'stronger than ever' for Americans as his term nears end

President Joe Biden lauded his administration’s record on the economy after the labor department reported Friday a surge in job growth and decline in unemployment last month.

Summary

President Joe Biden highlighted his administration’s economic record, citing consistent job growth and a 2.7% inflation rate drop from its 2022 peak.

December’s jobs report showed 256,000 new jobs and declining unemployment, signaling steady economic growth.

However, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and interest rates remain high, impacting homebuyers and businesses.

Public pessimism lingers on affordability as Biden passes a largely strong economy to his successor, Donald Trump.

    Fucking asshole.

    Your climate policy is why LA is burning and will continue to burn. Nice carbon extraction economy you’ve kept there, Joe.

    Also your military industrial economy is supporting a genocide. Great economy, Joe.

      How did you expect him to get any meaningful climate policies through the Republicans in Congress?

              capitalism is a spectrum and if your going to have it either way (like in an election with no other canidates) you should go with the one thats more socialist even if by a bit.
