CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The U.S. added 119,000 jobs in September, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure marked an acceleration from the previous month, and it exceeded an average of nearly 100,000 jobs added per month over the first half of 2025.
The report included a downward revision for the month of August, however, slashing performance from 22,000 jobs gained that month to 4,000 jobs lost.
The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4%, which marks the highest level since October 2021.

US consumer confidence tanks in November as Americans see more financial pain ahead
The Conference Board’s reading hit 88.7 in November, down 6.8 points from October’s level of 95.5.[That's the lowest since April, when LIBERATION DAY sent people into panic. One more drop like November's and it'll be the lowest level in 10 years.]
Its measure of consumers’ short-term expectations for income, business, and labor market conditions also dragged lower to 63.2, remaining well below the threshold of 80 that the Conference Board says typically signals a recession ahead. November was the 10th consecutive month with a reading below 80.

Sometimes it is not easy to find consistent figures.
Current. Compared to 1/1/25
Unemployment rate. 4.4%. 4.1%
CPI. 2.9%. 2.7%
Deficit. $ 1.8 T. $711 B
Debt. $37.85T. $36.14 T
Is that about right? Unemployment up, CPI up, deficit up, Dept up.
