Capitalism and freedom aren't necessarily pretty. They just work better than government interference.
=======
And all too many forget that it IS NOT THE FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT TO CREATE JOBS. Their job is to provide a decent economy that supports itself, THUS A GOOD ENVIRONMENT TO STIMULATE hiring by the companies THAT PRODUCE THE JOBS. The economy is GOOD! But it is up to companies (the evil corporations) to hire people, when they NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE. Jobs are not a constitutional right, as the left would have you believe.

I also DO NOT AGREE with Washington's attitude toward copping-out on the illegal immigration issue under the ruse that it is good for cheap labor. There is NO EXCUSE for not insisting and enforcing the proper immigration process for people who want to come here to work and live. Here I do agree that these ILLEGALS are taking low-end jobs that MANY AMERICANS WOULD TAKE if given the opportunity. This phrase the government throws about "JOBS AMERICANS DON'T WANT" is a bunch of bull-trash that informed people are not buying.

Not at the price being offered.

But I recognise that people differ on this question, and it's all speculation.

Next time you want someone to mow your lawn, ask a neighborhood kid to do it and see what he wants for the job. Most just do it themselves at that point. No one gets better at that point.

Hear Hear Eagle! Why not open your own business instead of depending upon the government to "Take care of you"? -
Its hard and terrifying, but is what this country was founded on , more satisifying and you have more control over the decisions you make.
When one gives his power to the government, one does it in exchange for perceived security.
The reality is, there is no security for a man or woman unless the are self reliant and god-fearing.
As my grandfather said, "Corporations have no soul and cant be killed- they go on for generations" - You expect loyalty from these companies? They provide jobs for as long as they are able and move on to the next big thing.
