He smiles, he wins, he nods and he condescends, telling Americans that his new Trade Deal is going to be great for American jobs. Then, in the very next breath, he pushes for a nationwide expansion of the $15 minimum wage and starts a campaign to require overtime pay for all American workers including those on salary.
Isn't that sweet? Isn't he a neat guy?
Who does he expect to bear the cost of all of this? How can American businesses absorb this huge cost increase after just being saddled with ObamaCare? Isn't Obama really hurting the American job market?
Computers are already replacing people in the workforce. Computerized equipment is also capable of building cars with little or no actual manual labor involved. Engineers have just developed a robot that can lay 1,000 bricks an hour, work 24/7, and complete the shell of a brick home in just two days. It doesn't call in sick, doesn't get paid overtime and doesn't require benefits.
If you're in the construction business, how many bricklayers are you going to lay off?
I don't care if you jack the minimum wage up to $100 an hour; if you can't get a job, what good is it?
I know... don't blame Obama; blame the contractor.
