*ahem* She’s Jewish-Lithuanian-Russian, not Polish.

The clue is that Polish names do not end in -sky.

Shut your pie hole, Jan.

Econ. 101 is not your strong point.

Why is it that people with the smallest brains, no knowledge about anything, and no perceptible useful experiences have the greatest ideas?

And here I thought only the Congressional Black Caucus were the only ones with a collective IQ of 140...

That is just stupid. That is only $31,000 per year. Also, since Obamacare has created a situation where employers are cutting hours to below 30, we need to establish minimum wage to at least $32/hour. At $50,000 per year fast food and low wagge earners will be much better off.

We should have about 170 million people employed today.

We’re 40 million short. I figured it out recently, and it comes out to something like 22.8% of our potential work-force out of work. And that doesn’t address how many are working for far less than they used to make.

It’s disgusting.

And so what do our pathetic exuses for leaders do, they spent all their time trying to keep our worker’s replacements in country. If the clowns in D. C. were physicians, they’d be paying massive amounts of money for malpractice.

If the minimum wage is ‘a monument to superficial thinking,’ then what is a democRat?

Put this idiot right up there with Pelosi’s unemployment checks are the best way to build the economy. People that have no concept of economics, or at least how a business works should be kicked out of office. Why is so often that the least capable of serving not only get elected, continually reelected.

Why don’t these masterminds start a business,
pay the wages they think people deserve
and show us all how it can be done?
