Inflation falls to 2.1%!

[airplanemechanic]

What are y’all going to do when Trump deports all the illegal immigrants who work in the food supply chain?

Refill them with American legal workers?

What a thought, huh?

 

[airplanemechanic]

2.1 %

It don’t get much better than that

9%. It don't get much worse.

 

[Lesh]

9%. It don't get much worse.

But then inflation is NOT 9%

It’s 2.1%

 

[Lisa558]

But then inflation is NOT 9%

It’s 2.1%

On TOP of the already highly inflated prices. So all that means is that the prices that are already unaffordable for the working class are continuing to increase, only more slowly.

And the solution to that is what? Elect Trump who’s policies would INCREASE inflation?

They already have jobs. Good jobs. Without immigration, our population and therefore our labor force and therefore our economy would be shrinking.

Why do none of you talk about wages?

Doesn’t fit the narrative. That’s why.

Lisa believes that the economy will be saved by millions of single mothers who will be forced to work manual labor jobs.

Somehow.

No, you said if we deport the illegal aliens, we’d have nobody to do their jobs. I pointed out that we have millions and millions on welfare, and they can do the jobs and earn their own living instead of relying on other people’s money.

it’s a win all around: we get the illegals out of the country, people dependent on government assistance can earn their own money, and we the taxpayers save a ton of money.

But you libs want these uneducated illegal aliens to remain here, even though it’s a net cost of $150 billion a year to Americans. WHY?!

P.S. the lib response also shows they are very opposed to sealing the border.

Who did you say was on welfare again?

Single mothers.

There must be MILLIONS of them, right?

Or maybe you want to put the elderly and disabled back to work in the manual labor jobs that are vacated by illegal aliens.

You’re living in a fantasy world.

Yes, there are millions of single mothers on welfare, and they can take jobs. There is a project less than a mile from me, and the only people I see there are women and their children - many teenagers. Why cant a woman with three teens get a job instead of collecting all sorts of welfare?

The Labour Force Participation rate in the US is going DOWNWARDS!! Check it out! Trump had it going up UNTIL COVID!! 63.3%. Even after recovering a tad it is still 0.7% less at 62.7%. That's an extra nearly 2.45 MILLION not in the workforce.

So real work is beneath the dignity of Americans so who will do the cleaning and dish-washing?? How about Americans do it!!

Oh okay. Now you’re going to rely on their kids too. Child labor!

You have no idea if they aren’t working, or are disabled or how many there are.

And these are the people who you think will be working in meat packing plants in Iowa? Or shingling roofs in Florida?

It’s a fantasy you tell yourself to avoid having to deal with the consequences of your desired policy. It makes absolutely no difference if it’s true or not.

Americans are already doing work, you buffoon. There aren’t enough Americans to fill the jobs we need to drive the economy forward.

Yup. These liberals show their bigotry all the time. They think the low-level jobs the illegals do is beneath the dignity of a welfare mother.

That’s also part of their plan, while they await the passage of massive amnesty: they want to keep single women on welfare so they will keep voting for Democrat handouts, but then who does the unskilled labor? The illegals, of course.

And you make up all sorts of excuses to keep the $150 billion a year burden of illegals on taxpayers, keep them here to drive up rents….to lower property values….and to lower the caliber of public schools.

You libs won’t be satisfied until the majority of the country (majority of voters) are living off of government assistance, after being dumbed down in what passes for public education these days.

Liar. The workforce participation rate is down after Trump had it going up!! No tax on tips and overtime should be accepted with relish by those not in the workforce as incentives to get back to work.

That’s because our society is getting older and older.

The prime are labor force participation is higher than it ever was under Trump.

Our population is going older and the our economy will suffer unless we bring in younger workers.
