2024: Reasons for optimism under Democrat admin

Will jump again next week!!    

History is already being written.  Biden is probably remembered for helping US recover from the pandemic and chaos of Trump.  The most legislatively successful president since Lyndon Johnson.  However twice impeached Trump is the worst president in history.  Shameful legacy in mismanagement of pandemic crisis and attempted coup.

That's an archived fact now albeit very unlikely anything more can be achieved this year because of the GOP 

In 2024, stronger economic growth, low unemployment and cooling inflation are expected in survey of economists by National association for business economics.  An US economy that is a long way from tipping into recession and healthier than China or Europe.  Also federal reserve is expected to reduce interest rate later this year.

 good pt .    read recently the public perception is down slightly after rising the past 3 mos   but that has been the repeating pattern for the last year  underlying stats continue to move in the good direction for the country  

 White house physician declares that Biden continues to be fit for duty as president after annual physical exam by medical team.   Neurologist doesn't believe Biden needs a cognitive test.  He is healthy and active.   Media obsession on age is a distraction from what is really important such as policies and job performance under circumstances.   No fluke Biden is ranked 14th best among all presidents in survey of historians.

No, not a fluke. Just bias. Both political bias and recency bias.

glad the man is in good health

he has served the country well as his #14 rankings illustrates with an exclamation mark

but i wish we had a much younger but solid candidate running as an alternative to the fascist mob boss convicted fraud who leads the fascism party on the right

big day in the markets last week ending on another high note friday  

under the admin of the #14 ranked president of all time 

  BREAKING NEWS . . .

Israel has "basically accepted" 6-week ceasefire proposal from Biden and allies

Israel has “basically accepted” a six-week ceasefire proposal in Gaza, a senior official in US President Joe Biden's administration told reporters Saturday.

A second phase of the proposal would be worked out over those six weeks “to build something more enduring,” the official said.

Tentatively good news... 

president biden !!  

continued...

A US official said there is a “framework deal”
that Israel has “more or less accepted.”
The sticking point, the official says, is that
Hamas has not yet agreed to a
“defined category of vulnerable hostages.”

The official added the US
has held “a number of meetings” in Israel
and a meeting in Paris in the past several weeks.
The official also said meetings are “ongoing”
Saturday in Doha, Qatar.

US is planning more Gaza airdrops in the
coming days after first one was "successful,"
White House says

Good news.  But they are missing medical supplies and water, according to reports.  They need to step that up too!

Helping cool Inflation

Washington, DC CNN —

US inflation is down considerably
from a four-decade high reached nearly
two years ago. Now, as the Federal
Reserve faces the final stretch of its
historic inflation battle, a bigger pool
of workers could slow inflation even further!

    The US economy is so strong

that there might not be any rate cuts until late 2024

Economists at S&P 500 Global Ratings now expect
US real gross domestic product to grow by 2.4% in 2024,
 up from their forecast of 1.5% in November!

P

lus, the labor market remains incredibly resilient,
with unemployment at historic lows
and wage-improvements remaining elevated. 

Lies and misinformation.   Unemployment crept up in February.  

  The unemployment rate ticked slightly higher to 3.9% from 3.7% the month before.

  Still, that’s the 25th consecutive month - all under the ranked #14 BEST President, Joe Biden - that our nation’s jobless rate has been below 4%, the longest positive stretch in more than 50 years!!  

US employers added 275,000 jobs in February,

according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday.

That's ABOVE economists’ expectations of 200,000 jobs!    

Average hourly earnings sharply rose in January, jumping 0.6% from December and climbing to 4.5% annually

I believe 23 states had their state minimum wage increased on January 1, 2024, so is it possible that the stat is a bit skewed because of that or did the findings take that into account...I mean, 23 states is almost half the states in the union so that could have a great deal of influence....jus sayin
