REP. PAUL RYAN (R-WIS.): Not now, but in the future we're going to have labor shortages. We have 10,000 people retiring each and everyday in America when the Baby Boomers retire.

He should stop the Insanity and start an exercise that gives him some balls. The republican party has too many eunuchs in it.

Purge the ranks of SSI for those who really need it. That would free up lots of labor.

Who the hell is Paul Ryan kidding?The Unemployment rate is sky-high. The Federal Reserve is trashing the value of the dollar and all of the hidden inflation is making it difficult for many retirement age people retire when they wish.

So where is this need for Illegal aliens to fill Jobs.It doesn’t exist.

Why is it that Republican’s seem to find it so easy to destroy their political careers?The democrats don’t seem to have that problem.

Is there something in the water?

The US labor force participation rate is the lowest it has been in years.

On what planet does this guy live?

Do any of these guys have a clue????

The answer is to increase the quota for legal immigration

No, importing the world's population to overwhelm our culture and destroy our nation has not benefited us, we need to fix whatever government monsters we created that is requiring us to import the masses from third world countries.

There is no reason for America to WANT to become Blade Runner.

labor shortage? The demand goes up. Wages go up.

That is the way it is suppose to work.

What an idiot.

“Stop killing the babies.”

Well, that would only have added about 70 million tax payers.

If one ponders it for a moment, it becomes apparent that the desire of monied interests for cheap labor to undercut the indigenous population is responsible for the largest mass settlements in history. Virtually everyone in South America except scattered indigenous tribes, are descendents of someone who either cut sugar cane, or someone who owned them.

Hey Ryan, fix the employment problem we have now. After you’ve done that, let us know when we start experiencing labor shortages and then we can discussing allowing more immigrants in.

My son is working in the fields this summer picking alongside the illegal aliens. He says he can’t understand what is so hard about it. Why can’t these welfare recipients go out and do some of it. And this out of the mouth of a High schooler from a middle class family.

It’s unfortunate you aborted 50 million babies, isn’t it? Aside from the murder I mean.

The percentage of people working in the U.S. is at historical lows. Jobs just are not there.

Another Republican shows his weakness.

I dont know what planet you're living on, but most of the people around me are either retired, or unemployed.
swe don't need no more stinkin' ALIENS lowering the cost of labor, driving up the cost of health care, and refusing to assimilate into our culture.
They can go home, or starve, for all I care.
Enforce the laws we already have, and deport the ILLEGALS, including the one DEFILING the Oval Office.
Paul has turned into an ENEMY, supporting AMNESTY!

Gonna give amnesty so big biness can hire em and NOT have to provide Obamacare for them at half the going wage scale. So we’ll all be replaced by a former criminal invader who is exempt from NeroCare so they will go on medicaid.

That IS in the gang of 8s senate bill. Sickening!

Exactly.

Quit having abortions.

Cut off welfare (work or starve!)

Reduce minimum wage so teenagers will be able to work.

Voila, no labor shortage.

And what about JOB shortage???? There are millinos of people out of work! I now officialy loathe this fool

One thing no one really talks about is that there are many people in this country that are unable to HOLD
a job for any length of time due to not being all that bright and never having developed what many of us consider
to be a work ethic.

In Kalifornia, it hovers at the 17% mark. Which makes Ryan’s comment so ridiculous.
