Get rid of all the illegals from Mexico that are holding jobs and let American citizens have them and you’d probably see the unemployment rate of Americans drop down to 1.5% or so!

The LA Times has entered a death spiral, and will soon follow the San FRancisco Chronicle into oblivion. What both liberal “icons” ignored was the fact that most people who vote Democrat are generally ignorant and poorly educated and have no need for a newspaper; and the elitists who do are too few to keep things going. Had they been newspapers that reported the news and kept their editorializing off the front page, and offered an op-ed section with diverse viewpoints, they likely would survive. But now it is too late. TS

Yes, and a lot of them are coming this way. Saw a weird looking fellow and another in the passenger seat with a turban (Sikh) coming down the highway yesterday with California plates. Hope they kept going East to Massachusetts.

"I still had to wait 30 minutes to pay 16.00 dollars for a 2.00 dollar tuna sandwhich at a restaurant tonight."

Things will get better when you stay home and make your own sandwich. And, that time is probably coming soon.

Stock up on tuna now.

... Well, here’s the most amazing part of the story: It is the mismanaged private sector that is suffering the worst part of the job losses. In contrast, the well-managed public sector is fairing much better ....

The man in Roomette 2, Car No. 9, was a professor of economics who advocated the abolition of private property, explaining that intelligence plays no part in industrial production, that man’s mind is conditioned by material tools, that anybody can run a factory or a railroad and it’s only a matter of seizing the machinery...

Or, anybody can run a Zimbabwe farm. It's only a matter of seizing the farm.
