On most key measures adjusted for inflation, we're in better economic shape now than 2019 pre-pandemic. The unemployment rate hit 3.4% in Jan, lowest since '69, then popped back up to the 15 month average 3.6%. Jobs level, real GDP per capita, real net worth...all better. 2/

That was an excellent SOTU speech with real, tangible ways to help the working and middle classes.
Haven't heard one like that in a while. Very encouraging. #BidenBoom

Paul Pelosi was there, after being beaten with a hammer by a Big Lie conspiracy theorist, and Nancy waved to him across the room and teared up. She looks at him like a schoolgirl with a crush. So sweet.

"Rising Medicare premiums often take a significant bite out of COLAs; the premium for Part B (which covers outpatient services, like doctors’ visits) typically is deducted from Social Security benefits. Large increases in Part B can sharply reduce, or even eliminate, a COLA."
"But next year, most experts expect the standard Part B premium to rise very modestly, or even stay flat at the current $170.10 per month.
Medicare officials have signaled that any premium increase would be modest because of the unusual circumstances surrounding Aduhelm,"

Folks keep posting about the #Bidenboom over job numbers as though most people *aren't* living paycheck to paycheck and racking up record credit card debt to make ends meet on wages not keeping up with inflation.
Can you go to almost any retail store or restaurant and find a help wanted sign?
Sure.
But those minimum wage & near minimum wage gigs aren't the foundation of a healthy economy. Especially not one where the median national rent is about 2k a month.

Celebrating gas being "only $4/gal" isn't helping someone who needs to commute to get to a job paying $8-12/hr and has seen their grocery bill & health insurance increase far more than inflation while they're lucky to see a 3% annual raise.
Huge jobs report. W/revisions more than 550,000. It's a boom not a recession.

Étant d'origine Russe, ayant de la famille sur place, j'en ai plus que marre du #RussianBashing des médias français, et des occidentaux moralisateurs en général. Que dirait les USA si la Russie allait installer des bases opérationnelle avancées au Mexique et à Cuba ? 1/2
De plus, n'oublions pas que les accords de Minsk ne concerne que les territoires de la Crimée et du Donbass. Les termes était l'arrêt de l'avancée des pro-russes au-delà de ces territoires. C'est ce qui a été fait. Poutine ne fait que reconnaître une république qui a déjà 8 ans.
Biden et les représentants de L'OTAN n'ont qu'à arrêter de prendre les gens pour des cons. N'avaient ils pas promis en 1989 de ne pas s'étendre en direction des frontières Russe ? Qui sème le vent, récolte la tempête.

Jobs & Wages are soaring #BidenBoom
About the same number of jobs have been gained under Biden's first 12 months as under Trump's peak (his first 37 months) before the economy crashed.
Democrats always have massive job growth because they always takeover after Republicans tank the economy, is not the killer talking point Republicans think it is
Oops they’re doing it again. Republican members of Congress want to be seen as voting in lockstep with their party but they also want credit when the legislation crafted & passed by #Democrats pay huge dividends for their constituents. #WeSeeYou👀 1/20 #DemocratsDeliver
This article, from Jan. 20, 2022 By Steve Benen tells the story of the double-dealing, mealy-mouthed, two-faced, weaselly, yellow-bellied, two-timing, lying Republican swine. The article doesn’t use those words but draw your own conclusions. 2/20 msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/ncna…
