The Donald Trump campaign and the film "Cartel Land."

And the results of the Mexico election........
is very bad news for Mexico.





The winner is far left wing.........

 

Not if it is merit based immigration.

 

We can learn a lot about the direction Mexico is taking.... but the situation in Honduras.

 

Why’s it ok to let skilled immigrants take our jobs?

 

Because there are not enough skilled Americans. You haven’t heard?

 

So you want to make sure the ones we do have dont get to see their wages rise?

 

Wages are rising.

As related to rising costs? AKA REAL inflation? BTW.....www.fool.com? Really, posting spam links?

 

Not familiar with the investment website The Motley Fool and because of your lack of familiarity you dismiss or cannot counter facts? Typical.

 

Translation, you got nothing.

 

Wages are rising in all states now - even in California, our new national slum.

"Business Insider/Andy Kiersz, data from Bureau of Labor Statistics
Wage growth between April 2017 and April 2018 ranged from New Hampshire's 1.8% decline to Maryland's 7.5% increase."

Are they keeping track with REAL inflation? If not, nothing has really changed has it? Econ 101.....

 

Inflation is very low. Wages are rising very fast now.

"Across the United States, there are now more job openings than unemployed people, the first time that's happened since the government started collecting that data in 2000."

Inflation is rising very fast now, especially REAL inflation. Obama did not want to supercharge inflation for the average American.

 

So far inflation is very low, and wages are rising fast.
Did you think the DP will campaign for lower wages?

""We have a strong economy and there is shortage of workers and upward pressure on those wages," he said.

That's particularly true in the trucking industry, which is battling a worsening driver shortage amid rising demand for consumer goods and just-in-time shipments.

Like many companies, KKW Trucking in Pomona has been turning away shipments because it doesn't have the drivers to haul goods. In June, the company raised pay 11 percent for the notoriously tough job, which requires nights on the road away from family. KKW updated its online ads with the new pay rate and emailed previous applicants.

Chief Financial Officer Lynnette Brown said the company did so even though it can't recoup costs right away because of its long-term contracts with retailers."

REAL inflation has been supercharged under Trump eliminating any bonuses (not real raises) Americans received as well as the future tax refunds they will be expecting.

 

We want more jobs for the forgotten US citizens and rising wages, and these wants are totally legitimate and good.

So put a hold on all immigration for five or ten years.

 

In fact, inflation remains very low. Too low, according to the experts. Hence the rising interest rates.

"That’s partly because inflation expectations remain subdued and, if anything “have edged lower in recent years,” in the words of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. “We haven’t really seen inflation expectations get up to 2 percent yet,” he said last week at a forum in Portugal.

That matters a lot. If consumers think inflation will stay low, they will resist paying up for goods and services. Companies, in turn, will avoid handing out wage increases and will shy away from raising prices out of fear of losing business. It’s a vicious circle that can keep inflation depressed."

He's all over different threads this morning telling people he can't logically debate that they're flame baiting him.

 

You got to start turning the ship before you get to the passage through the breakwater.

 

REAL inflation has been supercharged by Trump's reckless policies/stances and real wages cannot keep up. It's a simple truth.

 

In fairness some folks do flame bait him - just a bit.

Fortunately I am here representing the "kinder gentler" faction - unlike the rest of you brutes.

 

He appears to be true & accurate no? Looking for help & cover does not make it go away. Obfuscation is not a real defence.
