Economists are paid to paint the circle around the arrow after the arrow's been shot.I’ll agree. A man used to be able to feed a family being a waiter. And guys could go make good money working at ford or gm. If those jobs don’t exist then I want the maids, landscapers and carpenters to get compensated fairly so Americans can feed their families.Washed dishes.So, you've picked fruit in the Florida or Texas heat for a couple of bucks an hour? Sure you did.
Cooked.
Janitor.
And only 2% of Ilegals pick fruits and veggies.
98% are babysitters, cleaning people and lawn keepers.
And what was your profession prior to suffering from PTSD?
I've done two of your three, also.
It is so repulsive the way the Left lies about the jobs illegals do.
And so insulting to the Americans who have or are doing those jobs, to say that Americans won't do them.
I heard at the meijers they’re paying $15 hr. That’s pretty good1. I never said I trusted corporations. YOu must have misunderstood what I said. Try reading just what I write and not making assumptions about hidden meanings.
2. I don't trust the government, because the government has demonstrated they are a tool of the Political Class that has nothing but contempt for me.
3. Trump's policies on Trade and Immigration have not yet been fully implemented. And yes, I wish he would move faster.
4. Supply and demand are real. If enough illegals are deported, and are not replaced by returning illegals or legal immigrants, and jobs, especially better jobs keep coming, wages should start to rise.
5. Push back was always going to occur. The question to ask, is why do you think that happened? Anti-tariff people claimed that deficits don't matter. It seems Europeans think they do matter.
The only thing that's gonna rise by pissing on immigration and punishing our allies is costs and interest rates. Watch. Huge deficits and inflation will happen very quickly because of these moronic trade wars. Trump doesn't care, he gets two key things he wants. He gets to act like a moronic bully and he already has the big tax bonanza for himself. Watch in the next 6 months what happens to interest rates and the deficit/national debt and costs to the working folks on goods we rely on. And unless you're independently wealthy, you'll feel it big time too.
And, to think that replacing low wage immigrants with Americans in jobs like harvesting etc is gonna happen is to demonstrate how little you know about economics even at a base level.
I will be watching. Will you? Or will you be just accepting as Gospel whatever spun crap the media hands you?
If I didn't have a mind of my own like you, I'd believe what the conman says but since I do have a mind of my own, I'll trust economists and they're talking inflation because of the tarrifs and other things like withdrawing from every trade agreement ever made and alientaing our staunch allies. And, as I see you've bought the whole fake news mantra from the most fake human on earth. You'll have to live with that moronic decision.
The economists said that the dislocation from "Free Trade" would be a temporary problem, and that workers would either easily retrain for new high tech jobs, or be rehired to the new and more competitive US manufacturers.
They have not admitted that they were wrong. They are still trying to sell the same bullshit that has not worked.
IN this case, the historian trumps the economist. Because we have recent history of those economists being wrong.
They don't get to cite their credentials and expect us to be impressed after the last 40 years.
You told me to watch. I said I would. And I will be.
You will not. YOur mind is made up and nicely closed. Standard for a modern lib.
That's a good one. I'll remember that one.
