Hassett: “The breakeven job number is a lot lower than it used to be because we’re tightened the border. So 130,000 jobs this year is sort like 200,000 two or three years ago because we don’t have this massive inflow of immigrants that are working. So these are really great jobs numbers.”

This man is absolutely shameless.
Follow-up question … “Are you fucking serious right now?”
The bullshit coming from his mouth never ceases.
So they’re saying that they’ve gotten rid of enough immigrants to warrant a new break even that’s 70k less than what they would consider normal previously… just no fucking way
Why do we even have main stream media at this point?
These people really love to talk out of their ass.
If you ignore all the water above the ship, we are definitely not sinking.
To quote a fictitious person about these fictitious job numbers, “I want to punch you in the face so bad right now” ~ Ron Swanson.
Should be as high, if not higher, sir!
Tomatoes are $5/lb.
Hes using trump math. The same thing they did when they said they reduced drug prices by 600%
Phony Liar
I really don’t understand this new kind of logic
What a load of smirk-faced bullshit
Prepare to get rolled nerds.
Isn’t it the other way around?
Because of fewer immigrants, more jobs are given to US citizens. Which again is good news…But I don’t see the logic of breakeven. Maybe that’s why I am not in politics.
I’d say Bessent is definitely lying here, but if I’m being honest with myself, I could see him being stupid enough to actually believe this.
It’s safe to say this is a Bullshit market!
How do they come up with this BS? Do they use AI or is it a natural talent?
Imagine being stupid enough to believe this swindler. That fucking smile could not be more punchable.
Hassett’s mom doesn’t even like him
Also MASSIVE credit card spending is GOOD !
This milk will taste sooooo good when these jobs numbers get revised to negative 50k or worse.
“Minus 50k is the new +50k!”
Translation: “If you ignore reality we’re doing great!”
Top 5 most punchable face in DC.
Dumbass trumpanzee.🤷♂️
So open borders makes the jobs numbers go up.

This math
But with that logic, those are not new jobs and they look like new jobs, so the economy is worse than the number report.
“Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty’s forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at a hundred and forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in re-writing the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than a hundred and forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.”
Can someone, explain why this is complete BS? What’s the context or more reasonable interpretation of these numbers?
Intuitively, lower demand for labor is bad- means less demand overall. Also, the idea that removing immigration would raise worker pay may be true, but it seems like it also reduced demand for labor- net loss or gain for U.S. citizens?
If businesses are going to attempt to maintain same profits while see signals that demand is lowering, does this just spell less affordability as well?
This guy is a gift to the Dems every time he talks. What an insufferable asshole.
I thought they were all working illegally, which on is it
The gas lighting of this administration is making Baghdad Bob look credible
Lol what
The fucking mental gymnastics these people do is absolute insanity and MAGA just eat it up on the daily.
Isn’t the job numbers a non-farm jobs related report? So considering the high proportion of immigrants that work in farm related roles, this simply means, less workers in open roles on farms and less jobs for Americans looking for work.
Where are these jobs at bro
Damn they got inflation so bad even the numbers are going up
