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 Catholic Church swept pedophile priests under the rug for decades and facilitated human trafficking illegal immigration into this country. The pope and church deserve much criticism.

The Pope spends too much time protecting Islam.

You don't threaten people with harm or death to gain peace. This is insane.

Disgraceful. Blasphemous. Politics has no place in religion. If a normal person went on such a disgusting tirade they would be fired from their job!

No politics, like the way the last communist pope was so anti-American and supported the global warming religion more than Christianity?
