CNBC-A seemingly disappointed Cramer: "It's a great economy. There's nothing you can do about it, it's a great economy"

[kpete]

Quintanilla: 36 months of job growth. Unemployment at 3.7%. That's 2.7 million jobs added in the full year

Cramer: It's a great economy. There's nothing you can do about it, it's a great economy

1. Screw him and the horse he rode in on.

[BonnieJW]

28. I can't believe he still has a job

He's a joke. None of his advice pans out. Why do they keep him?????

[UpInArms]

42. He was a coke addled brain years ago

And I have been asking that question forever.

[melm00se]

55. Flipping a coin is just about

as accurate as Jim Cramer.

2. Another readymade Biden ad

[Johnny2X2X]

3. LOL

Both of them were talking gloom and doom. The other guy was listing off the stats like he was reading his own death sentence.

IT IS A GREAT ECONOMY! Spread the word!

[Boomerproud]

4. Did Jimmy cry?

nt

[TexasTowelie]

5. Sell, sell!

Whereever Cramer leads, I deviate.

[WA-03 Democrat]

22. Buy Buy Buy!

[Walleye]

6. He didn't finish the sentence. As hard as the Republicans try to fuck it up, it's still great

[FalloutShelter]

7. YEP and the Rethugs will shut down the

government to crash it!

It’s their only play.

[GoodRaisin]

39. They did their best to talk it down and it didn't work.

Shutdown does seem to be their next play.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Truth gets in the way of their narrative.

Them being Corporate McPravda.

[Hekate]

9. LOL

[moondust]

10. Poor wittle predator gonna cry?

[DownriverDem]

11. Oh yea

MAGA repubs in the House will do all they can to hurt the economy for the November election. MAGA repubs are pure evil.

[canuckledragger]

12. Why is that idiot scammer still on TV?

Hasn't that Cramer guy been wrong about...everything he's 'predicted' financially, including completely missing/ignoring signs of the late 2000's financial meltdown?

Nothing but a lying blowhard that should NEVER be taken seriously about anything relating to money. Unless you want to lose all of yours.

[OMGWTF]

21. THIS! THIS! THIS!

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

54. You're Right About Cramer

his "advice" depends on who's paying him best. The drastic and rapid increases in housing prices were obviously a bubble and going to burst. I saw it, and saw the collapse coming too, as did millions of other Americans, but not Jim Cramer.

You know Jim Cramer, the guy who plays a stock broker adviser on T.V. He "just couldn't see it coming", not to mention the Republicon Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan at the time (who's married to Andrea Mitchell).

President Obama tried to make it mandatory for stock brokers/advisers to be legally required to represent the buyer not the seller and of course that got shot down quickly.

Cramer is a miserable white male who cannot compete in a fair system so he hangs around the fringes of richness who throw crumbs to him when he lies for them.

I despise people like that and as you all know there are many. Screw them, and if you can - and I know it's hard to do for some but if and when you're life allows - tell those privileged lying white boys to shove it. We're done with screwing people over to make even more money.

[dchill]

13. "There's nothing you can do about it,..."

Doesn't mean they won't try really hard.

[gratuitous]

19. Alternatively, if there's nothing you can do about it

Apparently the good economy just happened. Nobody knows why or how. It's like the tides! Tides come in, tides go out. Nobody knows why or how. Certainly can't be anything the Biden administration did, and Cramer would cut his tongue out before he said that.

[livetohike]

20. Exactly. They will never admit that Democrats know

how to build a strong economy. I’ll probably die before they ever recognize which party is the competent party.

[LiberalLovinLug]

45. They don't even care they blatantly admit their dark desires on air

Admitting they WOULD do something to sabotage the economy if they could.

Meanwhile....most Americans think Trump is better for the economy than Biden.

[ScratchCat]

14. I flip to the channel occasionally

Last time I did back in October, one talking head asks, "Why isn't the economy crashing with interest rates climbing??", to which the other guy replies "because the top 10% have plenty of cash, and they are spending it".

They are all a bunch of hucksters who get rich playing with other people's money.

I wonder how many morons pay that guy $300/year to be part of "The Club"? I guess its a pretty good racket with a nationwide tv commercial.

[Escurumbele]

15. Neither Biden or the Democrats are "making a strong case" because they don't talk enough about it which allows

the republican liars to lie about it. Democrats need to talk more about it, every day, create memes about it, drill baby, drill the information into people's heads. If anyone here was around when Reagan was campaigning, you will remember how his campaign repeated the same stuff over and over, they drilled their talking points into people's heads, the trickle-down lie did not get accepted and people enthusiastic about by sheer luck, it was drilled into people's brains, the same as "We are the greatest country in the World" lie, which has been drilled into peoples' brains. Biden and Democrats must do the same.

The worst part is that people like trump the buffoon will go on his rallies and say "the economy is a disaster", with no facts, no follow up to explain why he says that, and their brainless base believes it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. Democrats do need to talk about it more. Use Social Media way more.

But its also on the MSM news. They have this fixation on Bad News. Even just ruminating on IF something is bad news for a party.

In their fear of being accused of being a lapdog to government, MSM will NEVER spend much time on good news that a Democratic government has accomplished for people. It doesn't sell.

But why is not great news about the economy, and the direct ties to legislation of the President, NOT be newsworthy? Or a price drop for Insulin users? Or college tuition forgiveness? Or any of the myriad of good things Biden has done since in office?

Instead they will have on a Republican "guest" to explain it, who will then besmirch it with lies, CPs, and dooms day warnings.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

53. The problem isn't with the Democrats

They have plenty to say.

The problem is with the traitor media not giving Democrats an equal platform. Which they don't, because their oligarch paymasters don't want them to.

Do keep up.

[Renew Deal]

16. Has Cramer been a RW shill?

I always took him to be a bit goofy, but not political.

[redqueen]

18. He's a wall street shill.

There's no daylight between the interests of wall street and the interests of the GOP

[redqueen]

17. That guy is nothing but a mouthpiece for Wall Street.

I don't know why anyone would listen to anything he says.

[Crowman2009]

23. I can't wait for the day when savings bonds & CDs have high enough rates to where people won't have to put their...

...retirement savings into Wall Street.

[GoodRaisin]

38. I'm really enjoying my 5.3% returns on my money market fund.

Been so long. Wouldn’t bother me if they keep rates where they are. Seems to be working for the economy.

[sop]

24. Seems like cable sports and insider business channels are the only ones actually reporting facts these days.

Much as they'd love to put out the usual RW propaganda, their important target demographic - Vegas sports bettors and Wall Street types - need hard facts to make a living...there's "nothing they can do about it."

[moonshinegnomie]

25. there are 2 cnbc commentators i had zero respect for

cramer and rick santelli (i knew rick when he was a bond trader in chicago, he used to do some of his reporting standing next to me in the pits of the chicago board of trade)

[BumRushDaShow]

26. The GOP used to hold Raygun's "economy" up as the standard bearer

and then Clinton surpassed it, and then Obama surpassed it, and now Biden surpassed it... So they try to slink away after insisting that a "good economy" is "bad for Biden", and are sure to dredge up nonsense like "LOOK!!!!! Taco trucks on every corner!!11!1!!!!".

[Johonny]

27. I think there is some disappointment

In that the economy has been great, but markets are still hovering around/below 2021 highs. It's not been 3 straight years of market blow-outs. And that's sort of his show.

[FakeNoose]

29. He just hates it when he's forced to tell the TRUTH

But on the other hand, if he were CHUMP he'd be making up LIES like nobody's business.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Hedge fund mindset meets reality.

[WarGamer]

31. Some see the glass half full...

The GOP sees 11 months to tank the economy.

[GiqueCee]

32. "... THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, Cramer"?

Ya just gave the game away on more than one level, dumbass.

First, corporate news networks LOVE bad news; It's good for ratings. Fuck the best interests of the nation as a whole.

Secondly, Republicans don't give a happy rat's ass about the best interests of the nation as a whole. Because they are weak, stupid people, they're more concerned with gettin' over on them libtards than they are about doing what's right for the economy. Or, for that matter, doing what's right, PERIOD.

[gopiscrap]

33. So Cramer

shove it up your ass and choke on it you mother fucker

[SouthernDem4ever]

34. I can't help it, whenever someone mentions this moron I have to post this

[Marcuse]

35. At some point the Big Lies become too big for some GOP to swalllow. The rest live in denial.

[GoodRaisin]

36. He's a cheer leader for rate cuts.

He isn’t going to get them with these numbers.

[gay texan]

37. "Bear-Sternes is fine!"

Famous last words from that prick

[Caliman73]

40. Kind of pathetic.

You know what I would say if a Republican was presiding over a "great economy" like what President Biden has? After getting over the shock right? because their policies typically do not lead to a good economy (except if you are wealthy). I would say, "Wow, that is good. Good job!" Why? Because I want wat is good for the American public. I want people to be doing well. I want government to work to help ALL of the people. I don't care necessarily who is in charge.

The problem I have with Conservatives/Republicans is that they DO NOT care about the average person. Their policies ONLY favor the wealthy. They throw bones at the average person in terms of hurting people that their non-wealthy base don't like (LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, etc...) but do absolutely nothing to materially improve people's lives.

IF, they actually did something that helped the average person, I wouldn't lament. I would celebrate.

Conservatives are so petty, small minded, and partisan, that they can't even put themselves in the shoes of anyone else. Cramer can't say, "I am happy that people are starting to do better, to feel relief."

[Beartracks]

41. "Damn Democratic policies helping America! What can you do? How can we keep this from happening??? :( "

[damifino10]

43. Over rated

Years ago, I followed Mr. know it all on 2 of his suggested stocks.
Lost money on both. He hasn't been on my tv screen for years.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. His Only Real Claim To Fame...

...seems to be that 25 years ago he told people they should hang onto Apple stock.
So, he was right once. A quarter century ago. Most of us would call that a lucky guess.
Oh, and welcome to DU.

[Rebl2]

47. The way he

says it, he sounds disappointed. What an ass.

[TlalocW]

48. Well, I'm glad the voice of Homestar Runner

Found work after they stopped making cartoons.

[ecstatic]

49. unbelievable. Well, maybe they'll vote with their pockets this time.

How many times do they need to see a rethug crater the economy before they get it through their fucking heads?? We have 30+ years of data.

It's really quite simple: Do you want the chaos candidate or will you continue ridin' with Biden!? The choice is yours!

[SunSeeker]

50. Cramer has a sad that America is doing well.

Fucking traitorous weasel.

[Demovictory9]

51. Is he drunk?

[brooklynite]

52. Can you point to the "disappointment"?

I didn’t hear any.

[machoneman]

57. At the end, his voice tails off and he does a small shoulder shrug (you know, up and down, deflated)). If.....

..someone bet exactly the opposite of what he says, year after year, you'd have made a lot of money! His guesses are always wrong.

[spanone]

56. What would he like 'to do about it'?

Can't stand him.

[badgolfer]

58. CNBC, Carl Quintanilla, and Jim Cramer

Quintanilla just sits there and does his head bobble. Cramer is a lost cause. I never listen to him.

CNBC has been and is a Republican supporting show, especially Squawk Box with Joe Kernan leading the pack.

Their guests are dominated by Republicans.

[Baitball Blogger]

59. The news network should remove him for being to politically biased.
