You and others have made my point. You have ancknowledged the political delimma.

The political delimma resolution requires market acceptable action
that is politically possible. Several such actions to resolve the delimma were put forward. I will not argue that any are wrong.

For years we have argued that the Obama unemployment numbers are bogus or at least tainted. President Trump has chosen to maintain the methodology and is now touting the lowest unemployment in decades. So, for the present the strategy is yielding positive political results.

I will argue that the delimma will not be resolved before the election. For political resolution, the present industrial cries for workers will go unheard. Once the cries become louder and more strident, there can be political action toward resolution.

Well said.

I was going to say something similar but you did a much better job.
