Yes, It's even difficult to find people to remodel or repair homes.

Too many businesses are finding it difficult to hire employees. Allowing more illegals into the country to fill the employee gap is NOT the answer..

I've heard people actually say, "I'm not going back to work when I can make more money sitting at home."

WOW, almost like people were not paid enough to begin with, sure people don't want to work if they are not paid what their work is worth

To many people are bringing more in on unemployment then they were in their paychecks or for some it's about the same as they were making when working but on unemployment the benefit is they get to stay home for the same amount of money and for some they gained the benefit of no daycare costs.

Yes, but this is not as bad as what it sounds like. Unemployment benefits can help with frictional unemployment. In addition, it can allievate cyclical unemployment social costs that increase with joblessness, like crime, discouraged workers leaving the labor force, family health etc.

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

They want to gut Medicare and hollow it out. The middle class millennials are already strained with having to take care of elderly parents. Add this to their growing list of problems. This administration is going to run the country into the ground.

Because, he is not a liberal. He does not have an agenda.
