So, would it at all be possible that the Ninth Court of fools will be shut down due to this unimaginable loss of FIFTEEN percent of the Liberal aparatchics not getting payed for a few days?
As for Mitch and Trump - Are they playing Schmucker ? Time will tell.
I’m sorry, but bray’s all wet on the need for low-skill workers supposedly being so great as requiring us to import more “low-skill” workers and families.
Hogwash! We’ve got plenty of low-skill workers of our own. Many who are out on “disability” because they can’t support themselves in the current environment.
And the low-skill workers we have are making squat because of the flooding of the market with illegals. We have whole industries that have largely avoided automation (hello, agriculture) because it has been cheaper to hire illegals.
Yet our policy goofs are constantly concerned that we’re about to have too many people out of work because of tech.
The sorry truth is that low-skill imports beget generations of “low-skill”, government-dependent families who live off the excessive taxes levied on more productive workers.
We’ve got leaves being blown across suburban property border and back, over and over, by illegals with their obnoxious leaf blowers. Let the homeowners pay the actual cost for their illegal blowers and we’d have fewer illegal blowers!
As soon as we pull the counterproductive college loans and other subsidies are taxpayers are also now footing the bill for, we’ll have a rush of young Americans actually learning how to work while paying their own higher-ed bills—which will likewise lead to more prudent spending.
Cheap illegal labor has gutted the wages of our low-skill American workers. We don’t need imports!
Agreed, kabar—good post!
I see the hit pieces on Mick Mulvaney have already started. I see Mick had maid himself available for interviews this Sunday.
Jeez.........”Made” not maid.
John Kasich will be on FNS? For what reason?
One of the realities of the current world based economy is that the U.S. work force is over payed relative to the rest of the world.
In the Engineering field, while Red Dot Indians or Philipinoes or Red Chinese work for less, they do produce, not the same level of quality, but it is acceptable.
One way to look at it is the following. In the early 70s Japanese cars were coming to the U.S. People bought these cars for a number of reasons.
1. Better fuel economy
2.Less expensive to buy
3. Higher quality workmanship.
Now this last Item 3. does not apply to the Low cost center work forces in the far east but the quality of work in Poland or other East European countries is good.
The bottom line is that the U.S. "salaried" work force will need to take a pay cut of up to FORTY percent to be economical competitive with the Low Cost Centers.
As for the Unemployment rate - Liers figure and figures lie.
How many WORKING AGE people are out of the work force?
The labor force participation rate of natives without a college degree has shown no meaningful improvement in recent years. For example, in the first quarter of 2012 it was actually slightly better than it was in the first quarter of 2018.
This number is still extremely high
Illegal immigrants work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the majority of workers even in these areas are either native-born or legal immigrants.
Finding reasonably qualified Welders (a Well paying job and in many cases with overtime) who show up to work not on Drugs or alcohol is a BIG challenge
Simple answers easily understood tend to be the trouth
Why? To talk about the USPS of course.
Did you know his father was a mailman?
Actually, he can explain why he is now for abortion, not that I care to hear.
Blah...blah...blah...Trump’s Fault...blah...blah...blah.
Sunday morning propaganda peddling “Trump’s actions shake the republican party.” May be shaking the RINOs and anti Trumpers… but the Trump’s base is strong and getting stronger and ready.
Alas Babylon! Thank you for this thread every Sunday. Reading the Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread is an enjoyable routine of my Sunday Mornings. I wish a Merry Christmas to you and all the readers and posters to this thread.

I'm back and forth toady. I'm at work painting rods. Got to deliver some swordfish rods tomorrow in Marathon on my way to the kids house for Christmas.
Tough week. I had a melanoma removed Monday seems it was a bit deeper than I thought.I was in there forever! Finally got 10 stitches and 15 staples after they were through burning away all the cancerous looking stuff.
If any of you have had a lot of sun in your earlier days get checked regularlr! In my case it was a dark black spot on my forearm. Wasn't growing fast but had to be removed.
Anyway no TV for me. So hopefully, there are some freepers out there watching the driveby shows and FNC/Sharyll.
I heard there’s going to be a pizza eating contest.
He has the pole position.
MSNBC is trying to tarnish the GoFundMe amputee, too. Gotta’ love those guys.
Surprise surprise,her ol’ man worked for the cabals main guy— 41— who is probably Illuminati. So what does that place her ol man,big Dick? And furthermore where does she lie? Not to be trusted that’s for sure.
Actually I feel sorry for the house nutcases that are impeachment bound. DJT is the last one I would want to go up against. He will destroy them all.
Woah!
Sorry to hear this. Is the hole deep? Does it hurt?
Use your sunscreen, Bro! We don’t need anything to happen to you!
This is the point where Hill, without mentioning immigration policy, makes a prediction that points to the fact that an immigration policy can be a labor policy. As automation continues, he says, the robots "will take the jobs from the semi-skilled, high-turnover positions." As a result, there will be "a continued decrease in the demand for semi-skilled and unskilled labor."
There's the rub for immigration policy makers. It is at the lower end of the labor market where immigration, especially illegal immigration, is most problematic because it is there that newcomers compete with the most vulnerable Americans, including many immigrants who are competing for their piece of the American dream.
T.A. Frank eloquently made this point in 2013 in the New Republic, where he wrote: "Even as these Americans have lost their well-paid manufacturing jobs, Washington has looked the other way while millions of low-skilled unauthorized immigrants have competed with them for low-skilled service jobs. The insouciance of privileged Americans toward the effects of this on life among less-privileged Americans is, in my view, a betrayal of citizenship."
If all welfare was taken away and people from 18-65 able bodied either worked or didn’t what would the true unemployment rate be?
Thanks for all you do week after week Pat have a Merry Christmas.
