The U.S. added another 266,000 jobs to the market in November 2019, according to the latest numbers from the Labor Department.

With hiring rates increasing, it should translate to dependable consumer spending, a robust holiday shopping season, and a roaring economy as we turn the page on the calendar year.

And there is every reason to expect that this will be the case when and if the economy slows.

We’re sure Maher isn’t alone in praying for an economic downturn, and around the time he made this asinine admission, the media started giving Trump-haters the news they were looking for. Well, the “news,” anyway.
“A Recession Is Coming (Eventually). Here’s Where You’ll See It First,” the New York Times trumpeted.
“Is a Recession Inevitable?” questioned CNBC in October.
“Here’s a List of Recession Signals That Are Flashing Red,” the same network published in September.

And even when they get hold of something like this indisputably excellent jobs report, they find some economist somewhere to say, “Yeah, but the trade war will eventually…blah blah blah…”
If their cynical, anti-American reporting wasn’t so insulting, it would be comical.
