Kick out all the illegals and stop making all our stuff in other countries.
That will take care of most of the jobs and employment issue.
Minimum wage jobs were originally designed to be a way to get kids into the work force while still living with their parents till they got a bit of work experience and could move up to something better.
Our kids no longer work.
Part of the plan.
My first job was stocking the soda cooler for the local store.
It was the job of the night cashier guy but he figured it was less back work to just pay one of us $10 to do it before he left.
Next job was a paper route. Now done by adults in SUVs that cover 4-5 times the area.
Than on to stocking grocery aisles. Now all done by adults or people that don't understand what you are asking when you ask "Where is the salad dressing aisle?"
Dunking Donuts, McDonalds, all the shit used to be a high school job.
Now even Obama thinks it's a career path.
There are three reasons for this push......
A. It panders to the we want free stuff crowd.
B. The Dems have no answer to the current economy. Therefore they must kill it. $15 an hour is expected to immediately kill 1 million jobs - that estimate by official govt stats so expect it to be low. $20 an hour would cause a recession and if they time it to the 2020 election to make Trump look like shit.......
C. Illegal aliens are outside the rule of law. Sure you may have to pay an American $20 an hour but we will just import more illegals and pay them $5 an hour under the table. Who does business think is going to buy their shit when everyone is unemployed? Oh yeah, guaranteed govt provided income will provide the purchase power.........if you don't see the stupidity of that than someone else is likely reading these posts for you.
