    Trump’s Rising Wages are ‘Nightmare’ Says Restauranteur.

    Making America Great Again through Higher Wages!

    [​IMG]

    President Donald Trump’s low-immigration policy is spiking wages for restaurant workers in South Carolina’s Hilton Head resort before the November election, according to theWashington Post.

    The Post reported the complaints of restaurateur Steve Carb who was forced to raise wages to fill just 900 of the 1,000 open jobs at his 12 restaurants in Hilton Head:

    Dishwashers earn $13 an hour instead of the $10 they earned a couple of years ago. Line cooks are paid $15 to $18 an hour, instead of $13 to $15. Additional overtime costs mean tweaking the menu to stay profitable, from switching to smaller shrimp to raising the price of a plate of fish and chips by 30 cents.

    “The whole island is a disaster zone right now,” said Carb, president and founder of SERG Restaurant Group. “It’s been a nightmare.”

    More Than Two-Thirds of Americans Credit President Trump with Record Economy – Employment Optimism at 17 Year High.

    "Those Jobs aren't coming back!" Obama said.

    "What's he going to do, wave a magic wand?" Obama asked.

    [​IMG]

    A new CBS poll shows 68% of Americans rightly credit Trump with the record economy.

    Optimism about availability of good jobs is up 25 percentage points since Trump was elected president.

    Some on the left believe, Only lousy capitalists need Only cheap labor to, "make it".

    A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation simply for being unemployed, is not, unreasonable.

    As usual Rahl brings nothing to the table except that this is Obama's doing. Once again everything debunks your BS, but please please keep preaching it's all Obama it truly let's everyone on this board realize how out of touch with reality you really are. Comedy at it's finest.

    Living here in Los Angeles, I have had my constitutional rights infringed on by the Dems. Please explain how Trump assaulted the constitution.

    Obvious Fake News.
    The border invasion turned the suburbs toward Trump, and the DP Caravan scam has renewed focus on the problem.

    The DP should fire its political strategists. Steve Schmidt is available - he is a real whiz. ;-)

    More fake news from Republicans? Trump has now become the President with the largest deficit in American history. Great way to make America "great again", huh?

    Yeah, right, which is why the BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS (US Gov) has total employment in the Goods Producing Industries (Mining, Construction and Manufacturing) at 12.6% of the total in 2016, down from 15.1% in 2006. See here: Employment by major industry sector

    The US has been accelerating from an Industry Economy to a Services Economy for a good long time. The Great Recession helped accelerate that evolution.

    The services industries sector contains restaurants, bowling alleys, and car-washes that will hire people at deliriously low salaries. For a decent income, ONE MUST OBTAIN A POST-SECONDARY DEGREE!

    The least expensive of which is around $11K a year at a state school. And the families below the Poverty Threshold income of $24K a year will never ever be able to afford that "escape route for their children".

    Never, ever ...

    I will be right here fire you Jake. The DP Caravan scam has been a costly political blunder.

    "Other Republicans who represent sizable minority constituents — like Will Hurd in Texas’s predominantly Hispanic 23rd district — have underscored their independence from the president on immigration while trumpeting the “supercharged economy.”

    The distinction is not that important to Mr. Rasheed. He is not particularly disturbed by the White House’s efforts to keep out people from Muslim countries and Latin America.

    “As a legal immigrant who stood in line,” Mr. Rasheed said, “it sort of breaks my heart that there are so many immigrants here who are jumping the line.”

    With 45 open RP seats the House should have been a sure thing for the DP, but then Trump managed to troll them into the New Stupid Party. ;-)
