GOP House leaders are preparing a huge appropriations bill for a vote next week — and top GOP legislators want to include a rider that could allow employers to replace at least 100,000 blue-collar Americans with up to 264,000 foreign temporary H-2B workers.
The plan would actually cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year, because the unemployed Americans workers won’t pay taxes, but would get unemployment checks and welfare aid from the taxpayers.
The GOP’s pink-slip plan would also cut the wages of many other American workers before the 2016 election. That’s because the foreign temps hold down the normal wages that Americans could otherwise negotiate in a free market for their labor.
The GOP legislators, the House appropriations committee and the GOP’s leadership would not respond to repeated requests for information about the measure. A Hill aide, however, provided Breitbart with documents indicating legislators are pushing to include it in the omnibus bill. GOP leaders plan to rush that huge spending bill through the House by the end of next week.

Democrat, Republican it doesn't matter none of them work for us.
ReplyDeleteWTF am I missing here? Republicans aren't that stupid!
ReplyDelete8:27 - it's intentional - they're being bought off by the big businesses.....
ReplyDeleteWhat you are missing is the fact that it doesn't matter. Democrat or Republican, they are all the same. Playing "good cop, bad cop" is their best game. It makes you think that the next "your guy" will be able to change things.
ReplyDeleteAnd you keep falling for it. Over and over and over.
How's that "repeal obamacare" thing going?
Have your taxes went down?
Schools improve?
Crime going away?
The only thing that changes is who gets the biggest bribe, uh, I mean "campaign contribution".
Keep cheering.
