Ovomit also bragged about how he created a record breaking number of jobs. The problem was that most of those jobs were government jobs, not private ones. However, he conveniently used those figures to look more favorable to him. I am certain that Biden took that page out of Ovomit's playbook.
No, the problem is not the number of newly created government vs private sector jobs.
Unless you’re some very high income earner ($600K+/yr) who is paying boatloads of tax into the system I fail to see why this matters to you.
(And even if you were making that much money or more and paying high income taxes, I’m sure there are other examples of wasteful expenditures, like…oh, I don’t know, spending $2T in Afghanistan over 20 years to accomplish nothing except letting private swindlers get rich off opium sales…maybe direct your vexation at that instead of at some slightly overpaid “lazy government workers”)
The problem…the REAL problem is that most of the newly created jobs are ****, like part time $20/hr jobs (often not even $20) that could never sustain a prosperous first world country.
As
@FOS has reminded retarded conservatives repeatedly, wages in America are absolute **** relative to cost of living.
Here are some stats:
1) Wages measured in gold (as opposed to USD, whose inflation numbers are easily manipulated to give the impression of “progress”)

Absolute ****.
2) Someone posted this on another forum:
In 1910, the median American salary would buy 28 ounces of gold in 1 year. In 2023, the median American salary would buy 20 ounces of gold in 1 yr.
So just let that sink in for a minute.
