Dems blast booming jobs report, Trump worker agenda, ‘reckless’
Washington Examiner ^ | 6 June 2018 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 07/06/2018 9:41:56 AM PDT by Magnatron

Democrats saw nothing positive in the new June jobs report that highlighted 213,000 new jobs added.

Instead, the Democratic Party issued a statement criticizing President Trump’s jobs agenda as “reckless.”

If you have a party that claims it’s for ‘the poor’, then you MUST have as many ‘poor’ as is possible in order to stay in power.................

Mr. Obama would’ve never dared to help thousands or millions of Americans find jobs, when a soft life on the dole was available to all and entry-level jobs were being filled by our Mexican cousins. What is Drumpf thinking?

Funny on another thread, one of our Catholic freepers likened Trump to Jehu.

Well guess what I saw from merriam-webster.com

Originally a commander of chariots for Ahab, king of Israel, Jehu later led a revolt against the throne and became king himself. In the Bible, it is noted of Jehu that “he drives furiously” (II Kings 9:20). In the 17th century, English speakers began using jehu as a generic term meaning “coachman” or, specifically, “a fast or reckless coachman.” Today, we are more likely to use the word in reference to reckless cabdrivers. The phrase drives like Jehu is encountered occasionally, too.

So yeah. Trump is a pushy guy. He’s got the Democrats in a red-hot froth and falling apart at the seams. No wonder they are screaming at him to slow down.

If it isn’t flippin’ burgers or waiting tables, then it isn’t a real job, if you ask the democrats.

They need an impoverished, desperate clientele who is anxious to get up to $15 an hour due to the compassion of a washington politician.

Nothing against the restaurant business, or even against those who flip burgers, but most see it as an entry level job from which the worker is looking to move to a better paying position.

How dare he void regulations and sign a tax bill that gives companies and workers more money? So reckless, without one little tiny bit of reck.

LOL.

In a selfish political view, yes. They needn’t have worried: Jesus said that the poor will always be with us.

They can't stand a reality contrary to their failed ideology.

The Democrats are so brilliant, they’re completely locking down the very popular anti-employment position.

We now live in some kind of upside down bizarro world where Democrats hate Russians, hate Communist dedicators, love NATO, love trade deals and hate labor.

Great, excellent point.

The old Ellis Island variety of immigrant, as well as many workers coming of age, was advancement-minded. He didn’t mind pushing the broom or flipping the burger, but it wasn’t his idea of a lifelong career.

An America that is great would have people advancing from humbly low to higher positions as a matter of course. I’ve already seen this process stultified in the tech world with H1Bs about which the employers don’t care if they ever advance, only that they can fill a skill set NOW. As a result guys like me, with an R&D mindset, are more and more fish out of water.

Exactly.

If you have ever read any of the works of Thomas Sowell, he does a great job of addressing this.

Leftists like to use job levels as a static location for workers and make all of their assumptions from those simplistic (yet completely intentional, I am convinced) models.

In reality, people move in and out of job levels over their lives, and those of us who entered at minimum wage jobs had no intention of staying there our whole lives on stupid “living wage”. We enter and transit through.

Conversely, if you have a political party that is ‘for the rich’, then you must make sure there are as many rich as possible....................

This is a debate I would like to see. Liberals complain that you can’t support a family and buy a house on minimum wage. Let’s have that discussion, about how the minimum wage job is a starting point, and not a job intended to pay enough to buy a house.

That’s a side that its foes don’t see.

I believe the GOP is for advancement, when it is in its right mind. It matters less how rich one ends up as whether one advances to the extent of one’s talent and circumstances.

It’s obvious the DemonRats want to destroy America and reduce everyone to a servile class.
