Just phonin' it in these days.

You probably think the economy's great because, well, the stock market
It's a struggling swimmer, treading water.
Well whoop-de-do: Trump has "cut" federal employment by all of 0.6% since November 2016
It's statistically irrelevant, but Trump's cheering section is sounding it nonetheless.
Meanwhile the big-talkin' man had promised to cut the federal workforce by 20%.
Only 558,900 more federal workers to go there fella.
Like that'll happen, either.
Trump knows his own unemployment rate is fake, but touts it anyway. Sad.
Not-in-labor-force hit a new all-time high in May of almost 96 million.
President Trump used to think 223,000 jobs a month wasn't nearly good enough
Actually, to close the employment gap between today and pre-Great Recession America, we'd need 370,000 jobs a month for the next 50 months straight, four years.
Like that's going to happen.

If we had employment at the pre-recession percentage of population, we'd have 7.3 million more working in May 2018 than we do have
 |
| 162.7 million employed at 63.2% instead of the 155.4 million actual at 60.4% in May 2018 |
Like unemployment generally, black unemployment is so low because near record numbers of them aren't in the labor force
And presto! Down comes the unemployment rate when you stop counting them.
It's a numbers racket for blacks no different than for everyone else.
"Not working but still eating" soars to new all-time high of 95.9 million in May 2018, but don't expect Rush Limbaugh to talk about it
Not with a Republican in the White House, no sir.

Mueller's worthless investigation is costing us millions, masking gargantuan increases for DOJ
"Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election has cost more than $16 million during its first year, according to the Justice Department."
This is small beer compared with what's really going on.
Trump's budget estimate for the entire Dept. of Justice for fiscal 2017 came to just $18 billion, but has swelled to $30 billion for both fiscal years 2018 and 2019, one of the biggest increases for any department. 67%!
What the hell are they spending the money on?
