I could have written that a year ago when Trump won the election.

Unemployment is at lowest levels in 17 years, but of course, homelessness is up.

How many of the new homeless are tweakers

The heroin/fentanyl situation is also contributing to this..open borders of the Bozo Regime led to a flood of opioids and an idle youth during the Last 8 years found a cheap and deadly distraction...

One would think the hygiene kit should be used before sitting down at the table. At least make them wash their hands with soap and water first.

“Unemployment is at lowest levels in 17 years, but of course, homelessness is up.”

And how is that number calculated?

The eight-year moratorium on border security and deportations has taken its toll. We let in millions of unskilled, uneducated people during a period when they economy was shedding jobs. Eight years of Ozero left us with a net loss of more than 2 million jobs. What a legacy!

Trump is President. Voila! The homeless have made a comeback!

Are the press such morons that they don't realize how transparent this hypocrisy is? Who do they think they are fooling?

No, and CA has unaffordable housing in its cities.
Plus all the crazy addicted and hopeless drain into them from the rest of the State, and the rest of the West.

warm weather, can't get arrested for shoplifting, public drunkenness or possession of pot, and they wonder why they are the soft white underbelly of the west?

This is probably the main reason we need to build that "Southern Border Wall" asap.

Our Congress is telling us that it will cost $90 Billion and it probably will not cost more than $20 to 25 Billion.

We have a POTUS right now who is a builder and we need to get the funding and get the building started.

President Trump will get it done efficiently and it will be in budget and in time. It is pure hogwash from our inept leaders of Congress who happen to be republican that this wall will be costly. We say this is a bunch of Bravo Sierra to those thinking in this manner.

There are just too many drugs coming thru this Southern Border and it really hurts our young men and young women throughout our country. We need to keep this in mind since rehab and family problems for these young men and young women will cost more $$$ than building the wall.

“According to the msm number (U3?) its about 4%. I’d rather use the correct number”

Is U3 an accurate correct number to use to represent unemployment?

Definitely have to start calling the MSM

NERO

They ‘fiddle’ around with useless crap while the ‘world’ is burning around them.

Even though I am an anal, sarcastic, sardonic type, I like to think that 96.3% employed sounds a whole lot better than 3.7% unemployed.

Kind of like asking why do the Gas Cos/Govt still charge the .9 per gallon.

Do people still buy into NOT recognizing that you are ONLY one tenth of a cent from the next dollar
SO
2.329 per gallon is NOT 2.32 it is, in essence 2.33 per gallon yet try to convince anyone (BUT me and the person I am talking to) different.

Like when ME and one other person talk about driving in the snow. (WE are the ONLY two people in the world that can drive in the snow, AND I am not so sure about ‘the other guy).

OR

Get a group together and EVERYONE agrees that ALL politicians/lawyers/teachers-professors etc are crazy, stupid and not worth the cost of the powder to blow them to hell..

EXCEPT MINE(OURS)

Now with that prevailing attitude it is no wonder we keep ending up with the same trash in important positions.
