RE:US Recession is Growing Not good optics for the Democrats blackspade799 wrote: Official figures showed on Friday that the growth in jobs had slumped to 114,000, far below an average of 215,000 over the last 12 months.

Kamala Haris's run for President does not look good. Border crisis, war in Isreal, Ukraine and a dying economy.
There seems to be an industry even with a 280E tax and limited State sales that is seeing record growth month after month even in a declining U.S. economy...

over reaction in the markets. the lower job #'s is exactly what the feds were trying to do and now it finally happens which means interest rate cuts likely 1/2 point in september and possibly 3 cuts before the end of the year. this is good news for kamala. lower interest before the election. all is looking good for the democrats vp anonncement and DNC convention will give kamala another surge in the polls.
