Pining for manufacturing jobs is like missing the good old days of building flint spearheads. They are not all leaving for China like many would have you believe and makes a good narrative. They are gone. Poof. Thank you very much-o Mr. Roboto. If we get hard on exporting China mfg jobs, those jobs (which most Americans would not deign to do...sitting in a giant room inserting screw 136 into hole 136A for the iPhone 7) will only come back as more robots.

 

Starting in 2000, US Mfg jobs went off a cliff on a one way journey.

 

Presidents don't play that big of a role in an economy, as long as inspire calm and predictability. We're looking at you Trump. Blaming Obama and Bush for a mashed (Bush) and mushy (Obama) economy in the last 16 years is like crediting Bill Clinton for his budget surpluses. Too much credit and blame.

Reduce or eliminate the incentive not to work in this country and you'd likely be amazed how many Americans will be willing to do those jobs. Also go after employers who have those jobs Americans won't do and instead give them to illegal immigrants would do a lot.

You think illegal immigrants are filling up US manufacturing job seats?

 

I'm all for eliminating the welfare state but it's not an easy Band-Aid to tear off.

If an employee works an average of 30 hours a week or 130 hours a month or more it is considered full-time and large employers must provide health insurance.




The part time workers turn to Medicaid and food stamps to survive


Employers will get around paying for high cost health insurance if they can.


Politicians will continue to do what the lobbyists pay them to do.

There are many other jobs that Americans won't do because they don't have to. I know you're talking manufacturing jobs but I'm referring to low skilled jobs in general.

 

And who says the bandaide needs to be torn off. It needs to come off and slowly is fine just as long as it eventually comes off

Employers shouldn't be punished for hiring somebody who can do a satisfactory job for less money. That's what competition is all about.

But they SHOULD be punished for hiring illegal workers.

What does Clinton do when someone dares to question the narrative?

 

Order a background check.

Unfortunately I have worked with some very dishonest people over the years and they are without question the most untrusting, suspicious and paranoid people you will meet. Hillary is much like them.

Illegal aliens and others who work off the books not paying taxes to make the employer more money.

 

This adds to the deficit and taxpayers pick up the tab.

 

I just wonder how much taxes Trump has paid in his life.
