I wonder if a politician's definition of a shortage of electricians is not having workers sitting at home waiting for a call, or having to pay more than minimum wage. I think we should open up immigration for politicians so we can drive their wages down, too.

I suppose the same can be said here as can be said in the current "permit snafu" ad:

We have met the enemy, and he is us!

Accept THAT, and you know where to find the solution.

Supply side economics continues to survive despite the inherent flaws obvious festerings folks, we're talking over a generation since they told us the wealth would trickle down

I get the student loan defaults, one of the largest growing sanfu's , simply following every other default[img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KI8qvH2H8...C3th85yQ/s1600/student+loan+defaults.bmp[/img]

I get the HB1's problem allowing foriegn nationals to be placed in line ahead of American workers , because it is an instrument of abuse in and of itself



The regulations define a "specialty occupation" as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor[1] including but not limited to architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent as a minimum[2] (with the exception of fashion models, who must be "of distinguished merit and ability".)[3] Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field. H-1B work-authorization is strictly limited to employment by the sponsoring employer

I don't buy that Americans won't or can't work hard or dirty

That supply side canard hoists itself upon it's own petard with so many contrary examples it's simply beyond unmitigated gall

what i do get is our trade will be affected , like all blue's will , by having to take less

but this disparity is unequitable, and some of you who are smart enough to follow the $$$ , and/or history know all too well the churning of those machinations

this becomes an important point , and worthy of consideration if you are a 'blue' , looking to sponsor a 'blue' , or having any respect of past , or procreation of future blues

This thread seems doomed to end badly. I'm going to close it now before it's too late.
