Lol You build straw men only to knock them down Many bills to bring jobs were fillibustered by the repub party including bills for infrastructureWay to miss the point.
I got your point, as childish as it is.
And yet you failed to address it.
Trump isn't talking about a temporary boost in growth. He says he can make the economy grow in the long term at a rate of about 4 percent a year.
Most economists think America's potential growth is only about 2 percent, and most agree the best way to make it higher is to get more people working and make those workers more productive. Stimulating the economy with government spending or tax cuts will only boost short-term growth and cause inflation.
Right now, we've got a shortage of construction workers. We've got a shortage of long-distance truck drivers. We've got a shortage of many kinds of skilled workers needed to work in manufacturing.
Gordon says bringing immigrants into the workforce is the best way to deal with this mass retirement of baby boomers.
In the past couple of decades, half the growth in the labor force has come from immigration. But, Gordon points out, Trump has said he will deport millions of immigrants.
"They're called illegal immigrants, and they're here illegally," Trump said in an interview with CNN. "They're going to have to go, and they're going to have to come back in legally, and otherwise, we don't have a country."
In fact, about one-quarter of all the doctors and nurses in the U.S. are immigrants.
Trump isn't against immigration, just illegal immigration. Personally, Moore says he believes even some of those workers who are in the country illegally shouldn't be deported.
"People who are in this country, are working, and productive Americans who are contributing, I personally would not like to see those people deported," says Moore, who is also an economic consultant with FreedomWorks, the grass-roots organization that helped launch the Tea Party.
I TOLD YOU THE GOP ARE NOT AGAINST IMMIGRANTS FLOODING OUR MARKETS!
Trump's Immigration Plan Could Undermine Promise To Boost Economy
"Most economists" "mostly agree"?
Are these the same economists that said that the dislocations of globalization would be temporary and that displaced workers would quickly retrain and find new better higher paying more productive jobs?
We've been trying it their way for the last 60 years. THe results are not what was promised.
THey don't get to have credibility anymore.
And infrastructure spending is only short term stimulus. It does not create long term growth. But you are correct Republicans wouldn't let Obama spend on infrastructure so I don't want to see Correll applauding infrastructure projects when they create jobs and help Trump the next 4 years.
