Those numbers slow waaaaaaaaaaay down when you take Federal employee starts out of the mix.

Somewhere else I've seen - most of the jobs added under Biden, when you dismiss "returning to job before COVID" consists mostly of:
1. Service sector jobs (think restaurants, fast food)
2. Part time jobs and
3. Government jobs.
Just found the jobs report from Nov 6, 2020. 638,000.
Now I grant you, monthly numbers go way up, way down, and when adjusted seasonally - they don't mean as much as average monthly for a year or yearly numbers. But the KINDS of jobs matter. When they're not what you'd call "good jobs" - average monthly wage goes down or stagnates, which is what we are seeing.
and Dems claim HIGHER jobs because people need to work TWO JOBS, because EVERYTHING IS PART TIME
Here are the reasons. Well there were hurricanes and bad floods. The question should be if that was the cause why didn't unemployment claims jump.

Start with the career congressional staffers.

Or eliminating the ‘SSDI’ which I have realized several forum members are very familiar with it (I just learned about it today).
Over $150 billion is spent each year on it, eliminate it completely. Anyone in need will be supported by family or faith organizations.
Those capable will rejoin the workforce.
How much does the US spend on Social Security? Is it sustainable?
The largest public program in the US is supporting nearly 68 million people per month in 2024.

Pretty much. The Congress Critters don't really deal with budget, or much of anything else, other than making deals with other Critters and trying to get re-elected.
A military program's projected future years defense plan (formerly five-year defense plan) or FYDP (fid-ip - pronounce like Yip) rolls up into NAVAIR's budget plan, which rolls up into big Navy's plan and goes up to the President's Budget (PrezBud), and whatever massaging they do to it.
From there, it goes to Congress, where the swamp critters...er, Congressional Staffers get their grubby little dick-skinners on it. They're the ones who really make the budget decisions, synthesize the the results, and send it to the Critters to sign off on so money can be allocated to the services, the programs, and so on.
It's really an on-going process that takes place all year long, with budget calls, reclamas for the money the staffers cut from programs, back and forth, back and forth, with very little down time during that year where budget stuff isn't going on.
That's kind of a down-and-dirty, with fairly poor granularity, but it gives you a rough idea. The staffers are like every other GS group, career-minded and in it for the long haul. So they don't go away when the Critters come and go, though too few of them ever leave, once elected.
My theory is that the closer to Evil DC, the further left they are in their thinking.
