I idly wonder how many of them were DOGE-related jobs...

Don't worry, the Maggots will blame Biden (who led 4 years of steady job growth).

Those four years followed a sharp decrease in jobs, not that hard to improve on.

I purchase >$1M worth of supplies a year. Our cost is stable for the last 2 years definitely no increase in 2025.

While it is not reducing, the deficit is fairly stable. Agree we should do what it takes to reduce it. Not sure that is a doable thing in our government until it melts down. But common ground here.

Markets sort themselves out. The overall market is good. I had good growth since the first of the year as should have anyone competently invested.

Our business has experienced zero ill-effects from tariffs. Medical supplies more readily available now than anytime since early 2000s.

Job market is not even close to collapsing…actually quite stable. It is becoming an employer’s market which is good for me.

And the job losses now? Can't be tarifs ? Can't be stupid cancellation of infrastructure projects? Can't be mass firings of government works?

Things were going great until the current asshole decided to make stupid moves to change things.

1.3 million , until of late, reduced job growth for basically 2024.

Inflation - Up Basically stable…only .7% increase over the last 9 months.
Unemployment Claims - Up Mostly due to government cuts…private sector has created jobs. Not to mention that Biden’s last year was just revised negatively a million jobs.
Deficit - Up But the tariffs are having impact here with no realized effect on inflation.
Jobs Added - Down But when you separate out private sector…the private sector looking good.

Trumponomics at its finest.
