Latest statistics Unemployment rate in US is almost doubled in the last 24 months, (With due respect to Obamation and banned Helveti, i guess you would not blame Muslims or Islam 4 that), Let's find the reasons?
I would blame those innocent Muslims - must have prayed all times to Almighty Allah losing their innocent children, father, mother, brothers, sisters in Iraq, Palestine or Afghanistan without doing any harm. He knows better. Peace
I truly believe this economic downfall was planned by those who wish to control the world. Has anyone noticed that we don't talk about the banks any more? All of a sudden, the people are to blame for the economic depression and not those who have been controlling the international financial system from the very first day. Instead, they get a blank check and pat on the back.
big business in the USA is never punished for anything...they are the ones who make the laws and control most of the media...the ones in power are never ever ever held accountable... they will blame the unemployment on "illegal aliens" who pick cotton and do jobs nobody else wants to do....
Truly believe!! some times I watch economy debates in news TVs and have seen they predict economy problems some times more than six months before it happen and tells what caused it so wisely. rather to see some examples. I think no country could obtain a big share in economy unless they respect to laws and hard work and beside let smart people manage their affairs.
If you pay close attention, you'll notice that those news TV shows are owned by very powerful people. Many times, the same people who own the banks. I used to watch those very same programs, but then realised that they were nothing more than empty debates used to confuse people in an attempt to shift blame from one side to the other. Most times, just like in Portugal and Greece, the people are always the ones to blame. They tell you the people spend to much money on junk, they never save, they don't work enough, they earn to much and the list goes on. Yet, they still insist on continuing with stupid projects like the new high-speed train that will connect Spain with Portugal which cost a fortune. Even after everyone knows that there is no need for it, and that a ticket will be so much more expensive than a Airline ticked. People will earn less, expensive projects will continue, even though they will not provide feasible and sustainable revenue sources for the future. Please don't tell me they will provide employment either. You see, I've worked in the construction business before. My job was to do the payrolls. I would say that 80% of all the workers were foreigners. The banks have taken the money and ran. When asked what they did with it during a hearing, a representative had the courage to say he couldn't say. The public money utilized has gone without a trace.
EXACTLY. Corruption is the real problem. People like to blame big business, but monopolies and corruption are the real culprit and sometimes big business is involved. Yet another reason you don't want law makers deciding who the winners and losers in business are. Inside deals and monopolies may make a few people rich, but they are like cancer to a nation. Hey, you reminded me! I fired my Latino gardener yesterday because I felt awkward about asking him and his employees for proof of citizenship. He didn't speak very good English, and he took all his payments in cash, so I'd say there was a reasonable chance either he or his employees were illegal. Regardless, I bought a lawnmower for a little over half of what I paid for the monthly service and mowed my own lawn. Not only is it a job I am willing to do, I found it enjoyable! Hispanics took over the landscape and construction industries in California in the 1990s, mostly with the help of illegal labor that pays no taxes. I'm wondering if a "mow your own lawn" movement might not be very catchy right now. Democrats are always telling us the real problem with illegal aliens are the employers who hire them to do jobs they are unwilling to do themselves. I would venture a guess that many of the 20%+ unemployed population in California would LOVE to have a functioning construction or landscape business right now.
@obamanation good for you if you feel good for firing a poor guy...go kick a homeless person in the teeth next i bet you will find it enjoyable as well...good luck finding an american willing to mow your lawn...the trouble is you can take a magic stick and send all the millions upon millions of "illegals" fact remains: americans are not prepared to pay other americans because they wont work for peanuts...americans wont buy american made goods they will go to wallmart and buy china outsourced stuff...its your own consumer culture that brought you to this point...
This statement is obviously wrong based on the fact that I AM willing to mow my own lawn for the money saved which would have been spent on my lawn service company, and my time is most certainly worth more than what I save by doing it myself. Also, I'm curious as to why you feel entitled to talk about something you know absolutely nothing about. Do you know what the hourly earnings after costs are of my lawn service company? How about how much the illegals working for him are being paid? Do you know how much your average teenage in California who needs a job is willing to work for at McDonalds, Starbucks, or some other restaurant? Unlike you, I AM familiar with these numbers, and let me assure you, the guy mowing my lawn is making as much or more as the "americans" working in these other establishments who you claim will not work for "peanuts". You also, once again, need to get a grip on your idiotic rhetoric. As you pointed out, what I do with my money is my business. Isn't that the argument you just made for the oil cartels? If your comparisons are accurate, then the oil cartels deciding to price gouge the rest of the world is a kick in the teeth to all of us. At least my Gardner has the option of seeking work elsewhere.
if I got your points, you say all the economy leaders and polititions beside media in western countries are united and follow an aim! I don't know how much this claim could be true but looks like a science fiction story! sometimes I see economy and financial debates from european TVs like France 24. you have to know that European haven't good opinion about American. beside I think all of powerful people there are human being like you and me not robots.
seems you look at the people with tag of nationality! it's right you respect more to guys who pay tax because of your economy and living condition and so on but I feel in your posts that it wasn't your obsession in the first.
As a European, my opinion about Americans is the same as of the Japanese, Australians and just about every other nation on earth. I wish people could look further than their nation's borders, and understand that those who wish to control us don't see themselves as American or European. They are "international" as some might put it. I challenge everyone to ask more questions, enquire why things are the way they are and find out who is really responsible. Religion, poverty, environment and overpopulation are not what they seem. These highly controversial topics are being used to instate new laws that go against our personal rights and freedoms as citizens. Carbon taxes on citizens, taxes on car travel, taxes on production of food and the list goes on.
One doesn't need to call it nationalism(though that is definitely fuel for the fire). Call it rule of law. Why do we have laws against theft? Why do we have laws against murder? Obvious answers right? There are also reasons we have laws against illegal immigration and, in my opinion, they are good reasons. We are a VERY immigrant friendly nation with perhaps the most diverse immigrant population on the planet. My parents were immigrants. The two big issues here are the economy and rule of law. When the economy sucks, real unemployment sits around 20%, people are taking jobs that pay less, while the government grows at a faster pace than ever, people wonder why the government actively refuses to enforce the law of the land. The fact that the law they refuse to enforce would put more Americans to work if it were properly enforced is only aspect. Another are the related costs associated with illegal immigration (crime, healthcare, etc). If they don't like the law, change it. Otherwise, they better have a better excuse than Political expediency for not doing their job. What do you know of it? I would bet he earns more and is better fed than most of your legal country men.
I didn't intend to chalenge your laws or American people. yeah right you have good acceptance toward immigrants. I guess anybody needs respect whether American or Mexican was. We have some family in USA, they haven't good opinion about Mexican.
haven't any idea about Japanese but have seen many European so far and beside have seen some American that had been in Europe for a while.
Frankly, this has absolutely nothing to do with Mexicans in my opinion. When I graduated high school, 70% of my classmates went into construction, rather than continuing on to college. At the time, construction jobs paid ~25$/hr and were occupied nearly entirely by So-Cal surf bums. In the decade that followed, immigrants took over the business entirely, and wages fell through the floor. A normal tract home construction site is now nearly 100% Hispanic. From my experience, there will be one legal guy at the front who runs a crew of illegals. He will do all his work on a sub-contract basis for the large tract home construction companies, absolving them of any liability. The same thing happened with software development companies in the late 1990s. There wasn't a software developer in San Francisco making less than $120k/year. My company(at the time) didn't bill a single developer out for less than 125$/hr. The huge demand for y2k work, and emerging technologies sent companies lobbying to Washington to open up immigration. The result was a flood of H1B visas issued mostly to people from India, but also many Russians and Chinese. 10 years later, the average wage has been watered down to around 80k/year (or less) and you couldn't spit in an IT shop without hitting a recently immigrated Indian, Russian, or Asian. I can not think of a single policy more directly damaging to American wages and more beneficial to big business. As an aside, the smart construction workers went and hired their own crews of illegals and managed to stay on top. The rest had to specialize or find a new line of work. Now that construction in California has all but died, most of those illegals are also jobless. Now they show up heavily in crime statistics as well as for California's free to illegal immigrant Medical socialized health care. Asking that government not be subservient to the demands of big business may be a bridge to far right now. I would be happy if they just enforced the laws on the books. The idiots who demagogue the idea that they occupy jobs American's don't want are usually foreigners like ATVKing, praying for Americas failure. Without the illegal immigration, adjusting for inflation, high school grads would be making around $40/hr with no additional education and no Union. Nowadays, the best job available is one that pays minimum wage working for some corporate chain(McDonalds).
I am a legal immigrant and i came to America in 1999 . Five years latter i became a proud American citizen and in the greatest opportunity country on earth i can become anything that i want . Except the president because i wasn't born here. Three years after my family and i moved here we were able to afford and get approved for a loan to buy a house. Months after we came in USA we were able to buy 3 cars and were able afford taking vacations. For people who make clueless statements from my own experience i want to tell you that America is THE best country in the world when it comes to being an immigrant but unfortunately is one of the best countries in the world to be an illegal immigrant also. In my opinion illegal immigration bring huge problems in USA. And they are tens of millions of them. They don't pay taxes They can change their fake identities any time they want. There is no way for low enforcement to track the down if they commit crimes. Their contribute to the economy is very minimal. They only spend money and buy the basic necessities to live and send the rest of the money to they countries. And the problem that Obamanation is mentioning the illegal emigrants bring the job market down to the flor. Because they don't have much job choices they are willing to except almost any pay rate to do a job and that makes it very difficult for everyone else to get a descent paying job.
