Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cramer: Like or hate Trump, ‘these are the best numbers of our lives’ on jobs

I suspect come November, moderates will vote their wallet.

Imagine for more years of growth like this.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer says no matter your view on President Trump there’s no denying we’re living in the best labor market in more than a generation.
“This is the best number I’ve ever seen in my life,” says Cramer, 64.
Zeroing in on the 3.5% unemployment rate in November, Cramer say, “Fifty years ago, that number was a curse. Now it’s a blessing.”

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday no matter your view on President Donald Trump there’s no denying we’re living in the best labor market in more than a generation.

“You can’t contradict that these are the best numbers of our lives. You can’t,” said Cramer, 64, following the government report showing the U.S. economy created a better-than-expected 266,000 nonfarm jobs in November, with the unemployment rate dipping to 3.5%, matching 50-year lows. Economists had expected the jobless rate to hold steady at 3.6% last month.

Referring to Trump, Cramer said, “It doesn’t matter whether you hate him or like him, these are real numbers.”

“This is the best number I’ve ever seen in my life,” the “Mad Money” host reiterated, zeroing in on the unemployment rate. “Fifty years ago, that number was a curse. Now it’s a blessing.”

“I don’t see inflation. I don’t see recession,” he added.

MAGA. Big Daddy Trump!!!

Damn shame that with those incredible numbers we aren't seeing any slowing of our rapidly accumulating national debt and not so much as an utterance from a politician of any flavor of a plan to reverse the course.

How many steel mills have reopened?

So tell me, at what number does the US debt cause World Wide economic ruin and a second Dark Age.

I’m sure 12 years ago if you knew Obama would double our debt you surely would not have predicted a robust economy and historic low unemployment .

So what’s the magic number?

The more people working, the more taxes paid in. Beats money going out in the form of welfare. Hasbeen

I was listening to HLN and it switched to news. Now instead of reporting how low unemployment is. They stated we have over 9 million people out of work right now. Trying to convince the listneing public things are bad. The media is so bad now you can hardly listen to any of it and think they are nothing more than the national enquirier.

And under Trump, the US has recently become a net EXPORTER of energy, contrast that with the days when we were importing 8 MMBD of crude from OPEC at $100/bbl. The difference that transformation makes in our economy is not given the publicity it deserves...…..guess we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for the mainstream media to talk about it.

That had to hurt, CNBC'er saying Trump is doing a good job. lol

that jobs report is amazing

Is there a link?

I don't know much about anything but used to think 20 trillion was the magic number when things would collapse. Didn't happen.

I know the feeling.

I don’t like $20 trillion but the world hasn’t ended yet

I don't know the "magic" number. I do know with 10% of our budget going to interest alone, us continuing to add to that number, and nobody so much as talking about it, let alone offering a solution, it makes me uncomfortable.

I raised hell about Obama adding 1T per year and I am raising hell about Trump doing it. While there are some very good aspects to our economy, the bottom line is what matters in any financial picture. Ours is deep red. That's unhealthy. How do we get out of this with no additional consequences when we don't have a plan?

You know, I could go get a bunch of credit cards and run them up, I could borrow money to buy a nice new house, new boat, new camper and new guns. Would you celebrate how well I am doing when I am using my visa to pay my master card and still going further in the red?

Minding our own business seems to have improved our economy, maybe some other countries will take our lead. China and India have their own dirty deeds to deal with and Russia is the equivalent of a heroin addict just slowly killing themselves.

We will be fine if we can lose a couple of dozen democrats.
