Mexican Economics 101
 

A man walks into a bar in The Villages.
"Bartender, I'll have a Corona," he says and flips a 5 dollar bill on the bar.
Bartender says, "The price has gone up from $5.00 to $6.00 to cover Trump's Mexican import tax."
Man puts another dollar on the bar and drinks his beer.

Remind me who's going to pay for that wall.

Well oresented. Was thinking of this earlier.

I honestly wish our new President succes, but find it a bit wacky as he embraces Russia, wants to lift sanctions on them, while fighting with Mexico who has not even said a bad word about us.

And lastly, listening to his talk in Philly where he speaks of using American processed steel for the pipeline, I wondered how much that will increase the cost.

By the way, on Fox, while he spoke, the scroll across the bottom said that our unemployment is so low that it has reached the number where economists call it no unemployment.

Same scroll said statistics show that illegal immigration has descended each year for the last few and is now at an almost all time low, although I might dispute that without more research because just prior to the election, seems there was a surge.

Again, taxes, trade, health care etc all need work, but just ignoring the blather and looking at facts, I am wondering a lot, especially about debt. Great to hear Ryan, at least mention the debt.

But you nailed who will pay for that wall, which if you read the wording could be a big fence instead.

How Low Can the Unemployment Rate Go? - WSJ

"One key question for the U.S. labor market this year: How low can the unemployment rate actually go?"

He's just telling you that story to get another buck from you...he's knows you're an idiot...you ordered a corona.

😎

Yep. :oops:

Chump will Tweet a lie that he made Mexico pay for it and there will be a certain number of his ignorant cultists...that will actually frigging believe him. :ohdear:

Hopefully what will happen is that the man will change his beer preference to Yuengling or Sam Adams creating more of a demand for American products and more jobs so those companies can keep up with that higher demand.

If you are in favor or higher wages, the one thing that can drive up wages is a glut of available workers.

The unemployment rate is a phony number anyway. It only counts the number of people on the unemployment compensation rolls. It doesn't count people whose benefits have expired and have stopped looking for work. Nor does it count people who were laid of and took jobs for less money than they were making before.

The actual number of unemployed is much greater, (some sources say two or three times) than the "official" number.

The only way to ever stop the problem, is to start prosecuting those who hire undocumented workers...and put them in jail! :mad:


So, I wonder which Morse family members will...'take one for the team?' :1rotfl:

Mexican Economics 101
 

Full employment according to economists is 5.5% Unemployment
I t does very a little but not usually more the point 5%

:thumbup:

SO, liberals are in favor of low waged illegal aliens in the work force. But, they also want to make them legal. So, once they make them legal, they decide they now want union wages and then take America jobs. The price of goods and services go up, but the illegals are no longer illegal. Americans lose their well paying jobs to the now legal, illegals. Then there is no one to do the low paying farm jobs because they want union jobs, since they are now legal.

Mexico gets taxed higher and the Democrats decide that Americans will suffer higher prices to make up for it. And yet, they do not feel that raising the minimum wage scale will cause the prices to go up to compensate. WHY?

Liberals say they do not want to lower the corporate tax rate or give tax breaks to rich big business because it's not fair. They want to raise the tax rate for the wealthy, but for some reason do not feel that the wealthy or big business will compensate by higher prices for goods and services. WHY?

Liberals seem to be blatantly avoiding common sense and logic.

If you are so uptight about the Morse family, why do you live here? You do know that they subcontract, don't you? So, why do you assume that the Morse family hires illegals? Do you have proof, or do you just enjoy slandering them? Or, is your wealth envy so great that you miserably have a need to slur those that are better than you?

Better than or richer than?? What does mdlnb stand for?

MDLNB stands for all the right things. Why?

In “Love in All the Wrong Places”, Annie tried her hand at online dating, but it brought her nothing but a broken heart. This girl can't seem to catch a break in the dating world! While wondering what went wrong once again, she met an attractive, funny and sincere hip hop dancer in the parking lot at work. But just as Casey expressed interest in taking her out, he had to leave town to tour the country with an up and coming pop star. Annie was willing to wait for him to return, but then she received an apologetic text from Nate, the last guy she met on Craigslist.

Join Annie on her adventures in “All the Right Things” as she makes some of the biggest decisions of her life. While she thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent with Nate and is still attracted to him, he screwed her and then ditched her at the bar without a word. Will Annie accept Nate’s explanation and his heartfelt apology and give him a second chance or will she kick him to the curb? Or will Casey’s charm and determination to show her how a real man should treat a lady win her over? Or will both of these guys be left in the dust when someone from her past reappears? (less)

Avoiding common sense and logic? NO...INCAPABLE of common sense and logic.

Since they've been involved...equal...things have steadily gone down hill.

The Problem With
 

The problem with we Americans is that we want instant everything. it is going to take the Trump Administration sometime just to get this government working properly. The founders deliberately made it difficult to accomplish desired legislation as they did not want elected officials to legislate in HASTE and REPENT in leisure.

Obama's use of pen and phone and regulations that gave legislative power to agency such as the EPA circumvented the balance of power
While certain executive orders are required Obama's use from a qualitative standpoint were unconstitutional .

As a sidebar I find it disconcerting to read that the State Department ordered stress management seminars for its employees to deal with Hillary's loss. these are the very people who are suppose to be dealing with stressful national problems.

I also wonder of what value the EPA employees are when a number of them have been showing up for working literally crying.
People that emotional simply can't make rational decisions

Personal Best Regards:

Typically it's more effective to use facts, logic, and rational thought to make a point rather than resorting to name calling and unsubstantiated accusations. You must have forgotten to put any facts in your attempt to persuade. Pathetic, playground, finger pointing only makes me laugh.

" It only counts the number of people on the unemployment compensation rolls. It doesn't count people whose benefits have expired and have stopped looking for work." How do those people put food on the table, if they are on welfare they are counted.

Full employment is 5.5% of the work force is unemployed? Does this sound like a conflict in terms? More ridiculous political speak.

Full employment is when every able bodied American that wants to work has a job that is commensurate with their skills and abilities. An engineer working as a greeter in Wal-Mart should not be counted as fully employed.

Once every American that wants to work and is able to work is working at a job at their skill and ability level, we can begin bringing in foreign workers to fill the jobs that are needed.

When there are too many workers and not enough jobs, wages will increase. This is basic supply and demand from Economic 101. Wages won't need to be raised by some phony government number. Everyone will be earning what they deserve.

You're right. :) I should have ordered a Corona with lime. Or it could have been a shot of Tequila, or a Margarita, or avocados, or any of the things listed in the article linked below:

Here's what else we import from Mexico, Mr. Trump - Sep. 16, 2016

And we can't produce any of those items here?

Women and minorities...there weren't many white men doing that. WHEN will you learn! They're too emotional and too ignorant to have a say.

Women know about PEOPLE...they don't know about "things". Minorities...well they don't know anything and without quotas would be left out in the cold...where they belong. NO MORE QUOTAS for the unqualified.

Huh Dave? WTF are you talking about? You need to do some checking...unemployment is determined by calling 60,000 households...using a formula...and asking them. People receiving benefits is a separate number. Half the country is receiving some government benefit. THAT many are either unemployed or underemployed.

"Economists" determined that 5.5% is full...it's based on "temporary" unemployment as people move from job to job. People "between" jobs.

Wages decrease...you knew that...just pointing out the typo for others readers.

The reality is...we're probably living in the era of "peak jobs" as automation and robotics takes over. Somewhere in Asia they have a fast food restaurant completely "staffed" by machines.

Many countries are beginning to talk of a minimum monthly income paid to all citizens. The age of Star Trek is coming...IF we get that far. Don;t forget, white people are being bred out, we're the minority below age 7. Within 30 years, we'll be Mexico II. Is there much cutting edge technology coming out of Mexico? Didn't think so...

STOP believing their bullsh!t stories! Did we all die from the last scare story...what was it? Zika? It was supposed to make all the newborns heads small. They spent $ billions on it.

It's all CRAP so they and their friends can make money looting the treasury.

LOL :1rotfl:

You would have to be an idiot, not to know that since a large % of the people working on the common areas around here can't even speak English...that a significant number must be 'undocumented.' :oops:

You would have to be an even bigger idiot...not to know that The Developer knows this.

As I said, they should be prosecuted for breaking the law.

And your pathetic attempt to make excuses for the Morse's because they 'subcontract'... simply exhibits your continuing flaming hypocrisy. ;)

I personally have no problem with my amenities fee doubling by hiring Americans...but not everyone who is so outspoken against immigration shares my position.

SOOOO, they are 'flaming hypocrites' also.' :thumbup:

You're welcome. :wave:

The reason undocumented workers are hired, is so that businesses can take advantage of them...and keep the prices of their products/services low.

Which, in essence, is why Americans (and yes, even/especially those on the right)...encourage businesses to hire undocumented workers.

Consequently, I can't wait to hear the whining and crying from those ignorant people that don't understand this...who will start screeching when prices rise significantly. :D

Not me, I don't drink watered down pi$$.

There you go again spouting out opinion like it is fact and calling people names...in your quest to stop bullying...

So you don't feel it is racist for you to assume someone that does not speak English is an illegal immigrant...Nice!

As for the developer (or the subcontractor) and the rule of law, he is only required to ask for identification of all employees and to keep a copy of the provided identification in the employees file. He is not required to be an identification expert, nor is he required to investigate any identification provided.

You have no proof that the employees are not already "American" (unless you only consider Caucasian Americans as American), you are just making more unfounded accusations...

You probably don't live in the Villages, of course you have no problem with your amenity fees doubling...2 x $0 is $0

You are a racist and a lying (unt, as proven in the cockroach thread...I believe Ol Don still has his boot on your neck and you have nothing to say about it!

I'm going to be civil, because I realize what I am replying to.

Those Latinos working in the common areas are NOT working for the Morses. They may very well have some working for them, but you seem to think that anyone working in The Villages is owned by Morse, which shows exactly how lacking in common sense and logic you are.

You still did not answer the question. Why do you live here if you hate it so much? I have yet to hear you say anything good about it. Are you stuck here? Is your mortgage under water? Or, is the answer being that you would be a miserable person anywhere you live? And then again, you may just be doing your best to be a TROLL and the point of that is to agitate everyone into an argument.

Hell must be as cold as it is here today...we agree...

Except with the cost...illegals are not much of a discount any more...they're demanding $10+ an hour.

We have 50 million on government assistance...there are your people to fill those job vacancies.

Put in a simple clause: All contractors, subcontractors, and their respective employees will meet all current immigrant/citizenship documentation laws.

The real unemployment is still not being addressed.
It is still being measured as it has been for the past 8 plus years.

It does not take into account all that are in fact unemployed.....which would include those who have given up.

The smoke and mirrors presentation of unemployment is just that.....a political feel good measure....has little to do with reality.

But the good news is that the unemployment rate is calculated the same way for both Republican and Democrat administrations, and has been for decades. So, apples to apples............

It's been calculated the same way for decades, over both Republican and Democrat administrations. Has to be in order to compare apples to apples.

We can't produce Corona Beer. And the other things.......not for the same cost. And by the way, you know Mexico, and China, and any other country on which we slap a border tax is going to do the same thing to us.

:1rotfl:

You must have misread. I wasn't talking about Miller Lite. And apparently Americans like Corona pretty well. It's the #5 top selling beer in the country.

The 20 Most Popular Beers Indicate That, Deep Down, Americans Are Frat Boys | The Huffington Post

Huffington? One of George Soro's many properties? Should have figured. A yuppie beer for women and girly boys.

Ooo, don't make Mexicans mad at us, or we may have to pay more for crap. Ooo, don't make the terrorists mad at us or they might attack us at home. OOo, don't make China mad at us or they might not loan us any more bail out money.

Well, we hold ALL the cards and it is about time that the rest of the world is made aware of that fact. If you can't afford the product, then you shouldn't be buying it. Time for liberals to realize that not everyone deserves to have what others have. If they don't work for it, or motivated enough to reach out for it, they don't deserve it. It is not in the Constitution that everyone gets a plush lifestyle. Americans too coddled and do not know what it is like to have nothing and have no food stamps and welfare available for them. They are spoiled and weak. Instead of taking three jobs to support their family, they leave their family. Instead of taking a low level job until they can do better, they demand that the gov give them a middle class lifestyle. My oh my, you won't be able to get your cheap @ss Mexican watered down pi$$ beer. Too bad. If you want to pay more for crap, then make more money. American beer is better anyway. If you want cheap, then take a trip to Mexico and enjoy their nasty culture along the border. Or, go to Mexico city and be kidnapped and taken to an ATM and robbed. Of course, you can always get the same environment by driving down to Miami. Just don't stop at the lights.

We pay for our National Security. Don't turn around and leave the door to your home open if you just had an alarm system installed.

Why should I worry about a low income person being able to afford an increased price of a Mexican beer or avocado? Live within your income and tell the gov to do the same thing.

Dear Guest:

Actually the more revealing number is the % of people participating in the job market vis a vis unemployed. Last I recall it was about 62% or so.

However, you are correct in pointing out that the quantitative amount be it 5.5% or 62% is only one measure. Experts also have to review the qualitative aspect and that relates to the under-employed either because they are part time or because their work skills are not being used. The unspoken tragedy is that many professionals and trade skilled workers are out of their market so long that they are never re-employable to these positions
