Politics "Don't be fooled" by Trumps economy

[MARIS61]

No, a prediction of doom and gloom is not 'rooting against' anything. There is a difference between "I fear something bad will happen" and "I want something bad to happen".

Here's the way the unemployment rate has changed over the past 10 years. You think Trump has changed the direction significantly?

I see 5-6% under Bush's last year, 6-10-5% over 8 years under Obama, 5-3% under Trump's first 18 months and going down.

Yes, a HUGE difference.

Guess that shows that you don't know how to read a graph.

SAD!

Do the students drop out at age 65, or do they keep going in hopes they finally graduate?

Better than average graduation rate.

The class of 2017 for the Bend-La Pine Schools just made history.
Last year, the student graduation rate for Bend-La Pine Schools marked an all-time high for the percentage of students graduating on time, says a report released today by the Oregon Department of Education. The combined rate for district students earning a diploma on time improved by more than 10 percentage points in the last six years alone—up from 68.2 percent in 2011 to 78.7 percent for the 2016-2017 school year.

“Our staff’s relentless efforts to know each individual by their name, strength and need allows our teaching and learning teams to personalize student engagement in ways that ensure students are involved in their education and on track for graduation,” said BLPS Deputy Superintendent Jay Mathisen. “We are fortunate to have many of Oregon’s best educators and support staff on our team, making these successes a reality for students.”

The Bend-La Pine Schools student graduation rate continues to outpace the state graduation average. Across the state, Oregon students' on-time graduation rate was 76.7 percent.

Barely better than average, and that's Bend-La Pine. What's La Pine's graduation rate?

Must have been massive, La Pine High School currently has 550 students.

I wouldn't say massive, but my graduating class was larger than La Pines enrollment is now.

It's the Fed mucking with interest rates. When interest rates go up some investing shifts to bonds with guaranteed returns rather the stocks.

Inflation be damned. Besides, have we ever had a problem with inflation before. No, dammit!

3%??? When has it ever been 3% under Trump? It went from high 4% to high 3%. A huge <sarcasm> 1 point drop. Obama took over an economy that was spiraling out of control and took it from 10% to below 5%. A miniscule 5 point drop.

I went to the smallest high school in Portland and we had 1.300 students. Grant at that time had 4,000 students. 550 seems pretty rural to me.

 

[Lanny]

Not me. I think the deep state will crash the economy and blame trump for it.

Oh sure, the trade war will have nothing to do with it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Oh sure, the trade war will have nothing to do with it.

Some. But the world economy is now dependent on the Federal Reserve. Last aggressive rate hikes were just prior to the dot com crash. Similar pattern will follow when they keep on, keepin on.

Thanks for your list of false liberal fear tactic talking points that a have zero impact on people’s lives... do you work for CNN?

Nope, he was a blue collar worker.

Fake News

LaPine senior high school only has 424 students in 2018.Why did you inflate the numbers?

 

[CupWizier]

Fortunately trump took over a growing economy, but he has done little to bring wages up to a meaningful number. Why is that?

Inflation.

 

[barfo]

Inflation.

Well, yes, inflation causes real wages to decline. But why have wages not increased to keep pace with inflation?

Post 165. A small decline, but a decline.
