President Joe Biden celebrated Labor Day with remarks in front of a union crowd in Philadelphia. Biden, who says he's the most pro-union president in history, spoke at the Tri-State Labor Day Parade hosted by the Philadelphia AFL-CIO, which is comprised of more than 100 local unions representing 150,000 workers.

There, he touted job creation and other economic initiatives while hammering former President Donald Trump's record in a likely preview of his 2024 reelection message.

"Bidenomics is a blue collar blueprint for America," Biden said, referencing his sprawling economic vision to build the economy from the bottom up.

"My plan for the country is to make the economy work for people like you, because when it works for people like you, it works for everybody," Biden told the audience, adding: "It's working."

4. Notice that Carter beat Reagan in job creation!

Ironic that Reagan got more credit for creating a good economy. Why? High inflation. Even more ironic is that Carter should get the real credit for ending the 70's stagflation. Carter appointed Paul Volcker Fed chairman in 1979-- his hawkish policy to raise interest rates worked-- it just took 4 years, and benefited Reagan who was residing in the White House at the time.

5. Four years for Carter. Eight years for Reagan.

6. Needs to be updated.

That one is very old.

And you should do one that does “total jobs created “. Biden would show well there too.

9. I think that graphic was done by Congressman NJ Pascrell

Since I’ve been in office, we’ve created more jobs than any president has created in their first two years.

2. Bidenomics is so smart. Joe is taking a page out of Reagan's playbook- just waiting on inflation

Reagan was touting Reaganomics in 1983 even as he trailed Mondale, who wasn't even yet the nominee, in the polls because of high inflation and a tepid economy. As inflation fell, the Fed finally began to lower rates and by 1984 Ronnie won in a landslide.
If the Fed's rate hikes bring down inflation by next year, and the interest rates are then brought down, Joe can claim credit just as Ronnie did and he will big over the soon to be convict.

11. Two other major things; gas prices & the border.

Voters can be told inflation is down, but if the price of gas is still high come Election Day, they wont CARE what the data say.
As for the border, when the Gov of NY & the Mayor of NYC both are yelling for help; its a problem. We ignore it at our own peril.
Can we send money to Mexico to pay them to stop the flow of people at THEIR southern border?

On the plus side, keep talking about these big projects funded by the infrastructure bill. Get the Reps & Senators out there for the new water systems, new bridges, new interchanges, etc. DONT let people who voted NO go out & take credit. And Biden can go to the REALLY big programs that have started. And get out there wherever the new semiconductor plants are being built. Tell everyone how this helps us against CHINA along with good paying jobs. "The last guy SAID he was going to do it. But I'M the one who has DONE it"
And I DO think the Fed will begin dropping rates a bit next year. I'd say 70% chance. VERY good optics as mortgage rates will also drop

7. "Bidenomics is a Blue Collar Blueprint"

Whoever coined that phrase should get a raise.

10. He stated things that are true. Is that fair?

12. Democrat's should pound Trump's real record vs his impossible promises into the ground.

That's all the Deplorables understand. Repetition of elementary school level concepts ad naseum. That was alway's the Fox MO, and that of Trump as well. That's the only way to penetrate those thick skulls. They were never very good in school for that very reason. Just keep repeating Trump's failures, over and over and over.

13. But...but Republicans always tout how many jobs will come from tinkle down

Yeah??? show me one. Sam Brokeback pulled a massive trickle down in Kansas as Governor and it damn near bankrupted the State in three years.

Enter Democrat Gov Laura Kelly and the State is on solid footing,schools are funded and we have a surplus.
