We noted the gray clouds in Friday’s jobs report. The Republican National Committee, which obviously has an upcoming election to win, likewise sees some things to hammer Joe Biden for:

BIDEN’S ECONOMY IS FAILING AMERICANS

• Today’s jobs report doesn’t change anything about the grim economic reality for struggling families.
• Americans are leaving the labor force, workers’ wages are not keeping up with inflation, and Biden’s agenda is making it worse.
• Biden inherited a robust recovery and is turning it into stagflation – even Biden’s own economists are warning of a recession.
• The American people can see just how bad things are and are overwhelmingly blaming Biden as a result.
  • A recent CNN poll found 66 percent of Americans now disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy.
  • The same poll found that Americans view the nation’s economy as the worst it has been in a decade
  • According to the latest CNBC poll, only two percent of Americans view the economy as “excellent” while a majority view the economy as “poor.”

WORKERS ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND BY BIDEN

• There are still 1.1 million Americans who lost their job during the pandemic and have yet to get it back.
• The unemployment rates for Black men, Asians, Americans without a high school diploma, and Americans who attended some college all increased.
• Biden’s policies are creating a worker shortage at a time when many Americans are desperate to get back to work.
  • There are 11.5 million job openingsthat businesses are struggling to fill– a record high – even though there are 5.9 million unemployed Americans trying to find a job.
  • 1.7 million workers were unable to work in April because their employer was closed or had lost business because of the pandemic.
  • 47 percent of small business owners say there are job openings they cannot fill – more than double the 48-year historical average.

SMALLER PAYCHECKS, HIGHER PRICES

• Americans are suffering under Biden’s agenda which led to the highest inflation in 40 years.
  • Biden’s own economic team has admitted that his failed policies fueled inflation, and liberal economists have blasted his inflationary agenda.
• Bidenflation is shrinking workers’ paychecks as key inflation indicators show higher prices are here to stay.
  • Under Biden’s failed economy, a record number of Americans expect their finances to worsen over the next 12 months.
• A new National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) surveyshows inflation is now the number one problem for small businesses.
• On top of rising prices, there’s no relief in sight from the “snarled” supply chain crisis that’s happening on Biden’s watch.
• Under Biden, 34 states have hit new record high gas prices, and in 35 states, Americans are paying average prices above $4 per gallon.

REPUBLICAN-LED STATES ARE DRIVING JOB GROWTH

• Biden deserves no credit for jobs that have been created – he paid Americans not to work for months and stifled economic growth.
  • 250,000 fewer jobs were created in 2021 than what Biden promised.
• Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
  • Through March, 9 of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the pandemic began are led by Republican governors.
  • 20 of the top 25 states with the lowest unemployment rates are led by Republican governors.

ECONOMISTS ARE RAISING RECESSION CONCERNS

• Biden spent $1.9 trillion last year, only to see the economy worsen in the following months.
  • Americans have seen a stifled economy and job growth, while fueling historic inflation, falling wages, and a declining standard of living for Americans.
  • The U.S. economy shrank 1.4 percenton an annualized rate last quarter – well below economists’ expectations
• The Biden administration promised inflation would be “temporary” and “transitory,” yet inflation has only gotten worse.
• Now Biden is saying he is “not concerned about a recession” despite his own economists warning of a recession.
  • Biden’s Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said “it is a real likelihood” the United States will have a recession.
  • Biden’s economic adviser Jared Bernstein refused to rule out a recession.

BIDEN WANTS MORE IN INFLATIONARY SPENDING DESPITE A LOOMING RECESSION

• Biden continues to propose trillions in new spending which will further increase prices and raise taxes on hardworking Americans.
• Biden recently released a $5.8 trillion out-of-touch budget that will increase the national debt and waste trillions of taxpayer dollars on a far-left wish list. 
  • Economists across the political spectrum agree more wasteful government spending will only fuel further inflation.
• If Biden’s budget were adopted, the national debt would reach a new recordby the end of the decade, growing by over $15 trillion.
  • Under this budget, the national debt would spike to about $347,000 per household, totaling $45 trillion.
  • Biden’s budget will slam hardworking Americans with 36 tax hikestotaling “$2.5 trillion in new or increased taxes.”
• On top of Biden’s trillion-dollar spending spree, Biden is still attempting to pass his radical Build Back Broke agenda which he falsely claims will “lower inflationary pressures on the economy.”
  • Numerous economists have warned that more spending could lead to even higher inflation which will make life harder for poor and middle-class Americans.
