Monetary Tsunami In America!!

Phat writes: Point well taken, jar. Are you telling me though that these guys are wrong in that prices will sharply rise in the US in the future? Surely there has to be a way out of this mess.

Buzsaw writes: Not to mention the funding of leftist organizations like Public Radio, Planned Parenthood, rehashed Acorn organizations, perk bridges to nowhere projects favoring labor unions etc.

Phat writes:The only other problem is overpopulation. Too many people are coming in that are not fully educated and who do nothing more than stress our natural resources and our ability to earn a decent living.

Buzsaw writes:Their leftist pro-death abortion big business is a starter. If you want to go further, you'll need to do a thread on it. Count me out. It's a no brainer, needing no debate which most conservatives and liberals alike understand.

Phat writes:Right now, our union is the only thing keeping the corporation from hiring illegals to stock the shelves at night. Were they allowed to do so, it would lower the wage of every one of us through attrition, as we would compete with each other for the limited hours left available. A lower middle class American can barely feed a family of four on twenty five thousand a year, but the new wage would be $12,500.00 a year...half as much as before. Whom does this demand help? Corporate stockholders and to a limited degree consumers.(though prices would not go much lower) Whom does it hurt? $14,000 middle class citizens displaced into a hostile economy and likely forced to go on government assistance.

Phat writes:Yes. Right now, our contract covers every area in the store except floor maintenance, and floor maintenance is essentially 100% non English speaking immigrants. Our manager is so cheap, however, he even let one of them go and now makes us empty the trash in addition to our regular duties. (Which I dont complain about. )

fearandloathing writes:Thank you and frog for explaining your position, and for most part I agree.I mentioned a better guest worker program and I think the "illegal" immigrant status is something that needs to be addressed, for the benefit of all. If there was no market for people who felt they had to work cheap then we all would benefit. Am I wrong?

Rahvin writes: What makes you think you should blame undocumented workers? What's your rational basis for determining that they even might be at fault? Do you even know whether your floor workers are actually undocumented, as opposed to simply not speaking English well? Maybe they just prefer their first language?

Phat writes:Besides....While having some workers who speak other languages useful, the union prevents them from displacing a veteran such as myself who is good at what he does and worth every dime he is paid.

Phat writes:Nobody wants to work as hard as we do for minimum wage.

Buzsaw writes:Gold has been racking up new all time high records these days. Silver follows, hitting over $40 an oz. Copper at $4.45 a lb, Lead at $1.30, the grains, crude oil, gasoline, food and just about all commodities way up.These stats are ever increasing in momentum, indicative of the monetary tsunami that has been for-warned in the OP video.
