Tiberius Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What kind of jobs are available? Are the illegals qualified to do those jobs? 40k trucker jobs available? Whoopie. Shouldn't those jobs be offered to legal citizens first? I wait I just reread your post. So allow foreign born to participate? Did you mean illegals? What do you mean? Are you saying our citizens are banned from trucking jobs? Yes, illegals You said the GOP was hindering the economy. I asked how. And this is your answer? Is it possible you're just making things up and actually have no idea what you're talking about? Or maybe you can answer the question. I thought I explained that in original post, but I'll expand. I'll do that because I like you LA. Businesses that can't find workers are not operating and full capacity, right? The GOP is holding up a measure--immigration reform--that would allow businesses to hire millions of new workers. Businesses would expand, even more jobs would open and the economy would expand again.

B-Man Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) How Dodd-Frank explains our weak recovery Yesterday, John noted how weak the Obama economic “recovery” has been. As he put it, “the Obama economy has been, in a word, lousy, and its lousiness is most evident in the fact that full-time jobs have been so scarce that tens of millions have quit looking. . . .” Why, though, hasn’t the economy taken off under Obama, as it did in the past following recessions? Democrats attribute the problem to the fact that the 2008 recession was the product of a financial recession. But Peter Wallison of AEI points out that recoveries after financial crises typically are stronger than other recoveries. This is the finding of a study by Michael Bordo and Joseph Haubrich of 27 recession-recovery cycles since 1882. Bordo and Haubrich found that “the stylized fact that deep contractions breed strong recoveries is particularly true when there is a financial crisis.” Clearly, Obama and his apologists cannot blame the absence of a robust recovery on the financial crisis that produced the recession. What, then, is to blame? John pointed to “the Democrats’ liberal policies, most notably the hyper-regulation that seeks to concentrate all power in the government.” Wallison agrees. He ties the weak recovery to a particular instance of hyper-regulation — that brought about by Dodd-Frank. Wallison notes that studies of Dodd-Frank’s effect have shown that the regulatory burdens imposed by that law have been particularly harsh for community banks: More at the link Edited October 5, 2015 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What do you mean? Are you saying our citizens are banned from trucking jobs? Yes, illegals Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. But what exactly did you mean by saying "let them (illegals) fill the 40,000 void in trucking jobs." Why let them when we have millions of Americans out of work? I thought I explained that in original post, but I'll expand. I'll do that because I like you LA. Businesses that can't find workers are not operating and full capacity, right?

The GOP is holding up a measure--immigration reform--that would allow businesses to hire millions of new workers. If you genuinely believe that, then you would have to admit that the single largest barrier to immigration reform is the Democrats, not the GOP. The WH had full control of both houses and the WH, held the ability to do whatever they wanted with immigration reform, and chose to do nothing but pass a health insurance law that barred illegals from getting health insurance If you're so inclined to cast blame, cast it correctly.

Why let them when we have millions of Americans out of work? Let people work that want to work and do the job. Why do you want to stop people from having jobs? We have more job openings than we have had in a long time. Find people that will actually work. Old Bob, the Republican, who sits back drinking beer and refusing to take a job he considers beneth him, isn't going to help much If you genuinely believe that, then you would have to admit that the single largest barrier to immigration reform is the Democrats, not the GOP. The WH had full control of both houses and the WH, held the ability to do whatever they wanted with immigration reform, and chose to do nothing but pass a health insurance law that barred illegals from getting health insurance If you're so inclined to cast blame, cast it correctly. That shows a general lack of awareness of the situation and a complete dodge. You blaming the Dems for something the GOP won't do and will do anything in their power to stop. Wow! Why do we need to bring in illegals to hire millions of new workers when we have millions of Americans out of work? Why are the record number of job openings not being taken?

Apparently raising wages for middle class workers at the expense of raising costs in the market generally is a good thing unless it happens naturally in the market.
