Raising Minimum Wages Results In More Unemployment

Raising Minimum Wages Results In More Unemployment In a truly free market, the right wage is found where the demand for labor (D1) intersects with the supply of labor (S1). The supply is simply the number of individuals (Quantity = q1) willing to work for the wage (W1) provided. The demand is simply the number of employees businesses are willing to hire at a particular wage. On a graph this is depicted as the intersection where the labor supply (S1) and labor demand (D1) lines intersect. Raising the minimum wage results in an influx of workers and shifts the supply line left (S2). It also results in a leftward shift of the demand for labor (D2), as employers are unwilling to hire and/or retain the same number of employees at the higher wage. The raise increases the number of workers willing to work than before, but the demand for labor decreases from q1 to q2 resulting in greater unemployment numbers. The reasoning for this shift is simple. The employer, generally having small pr

Nancy Pelosi Speech - House Debates 2nd Trump Impeachment

Jan 13, 2021 Nancy Pelosi Speech - House Debates 2nd Trump Impeachment Blogger M. Pirila used underlining to emphasize relevant passages. His comments are in brackets. Nancy Pelosi: Thank you, Madam speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership. Madam speaker, in his annual we’ll address to our predecessors in Congress in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln spoke of the duty of the Patriot in an hour of decisive crisis for the American people. “Fellow citizens,” he said, “We cannot escape history. We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor, or dishonor, to the latest generation. Even we here,” he said, “hold the power and bear the responsibility.” In the Bible, St. Paul wrote, “Think on these things.” We must think on what Lincoln told us. We even here, even us here, hold the power and bear the responsibility. We, you and I, ho

In His Executive Order To Tackle The Climate Crisis, President Biden Shows His Intent To Kill Fossil Fuels

Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis Blogger Marvin Pirila added bold print and underlines to emphasize important aspects of this executive order. His comments are in brackets. JANUARY 20, 2021 • PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. Our Nation has an abiding commitment to empower our workers and communities; promote and protect our public health and the environment; and conserve our national treasures and monuments, places that secure our national memory. Where the Federal Government has failed to meet that commitment in the past, it must advance environmental justice. In carrying out this charge, the Federal Government must be guided by the best science and be protected by processes that ensure the integrity of Federal decision-making. It is, therefore, the po

Dissecting Joe Biden's Inauguration Speech

Today's remarks from Joe Biden's inauguration speech. January 20, 2021 " So now on this hallowed ground where just a few days ago violence sought to shake the capital’s very foundation. We come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries." Not quite like the one President Trump received in 2016 when the Obama-Biden administration spied on him, concocted a fake Russian Collusion story, and unmasked different members of his team. I wouldn't call that peaceful or well intentioned. The next four years the Democrats relentlessly hounded Trump on every conjured up thing they could. We they call for unity now, it is sickening. Where in the last 4 1/2 years, did you rest from your senseless attacks on the President and his followers? Where were you on the BLM/Antifa crime spree? The censorship of Big Tech? The disinformation of the media? "I’ve just taken a sacred oath eac

The Treasonous Democrat Party Unmasked

The treasonous Democrat Party is finally unmasked For 2 1/2 years the Democrats perpetuated the greatest hoax on the citizens of the U.S. and now their name is permanently etched in the history books for keeping to conformed, puppet-like party duty. When one says something, the rest parrot it like a sick bird. It's no wonder Democrats and their cronies (including the party bought media - CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc.) were so hell-bent on impeaching Donald Trump. They just couldn't have their power diluted or their egregious acts against Americans and the Constitution known. The sheep couldn't know what you had done in the name of keeping your crony powers in place. Thank God, President Trump got elected and withstood your phony impeachment trials. What a waste of our (taxpayer) money (Mueller, lawsuits, etc.). When it was all opened to public view, it showed no evidence of collusion. None. You have become so much more than a baby killing Socialist party, you are against

Tracking Joe Biden's Disastrous Policies

Joe Biden starts here on day one, 1/20/21. Devastation is coming because his policies are anti-capitalist. See his inauguration speech here... Joe goes off transcript... To see it live at anytime, go to www.usdebtclock.org Watch the increases in gas prices as President Biden starts to remake our economy without fossil fuels. Wind and solar are not going to cut it! Larger portions of consumer spending will go towards simply commuting to work and utilities at home. This is essentially a tax increase on everyone. Moreover, the plan to legalize aliens and raising minimum wages will lead to greater unemployment rolls, more entitlement costs, and lower income growth. It all starts with killing the Keystone Pipeline as Biden promises. Rather than getting cheaper oil from a friendly neighbor, Canada, we will incur higher utility costs. Canada will revert to their original plan they had when Obama was high-jacking the US economy and run a new pi

Joe Biden's Policies Is Obama 2.0 And Will Fail Again

This article from 2011 perfectly summarizes the failed policies of the Obama - Biden administration. Now Joe Biden plans to put the same plans on steroids with what will be even more disastrous results. It's not hard to see that economically, Joe Biden's plans do not encourage or lead to employment and growth, but bigger government, more taxes, and less investment -- leading to more unemployment, less freedom, and less growth.

There's No Unity Planned By Joe Biden's Administration

The left's call for unity is without substance. Without waiting a moment for the inauguration of Joe Biden to president, the left quickly put their planned agenda into place. This includes: 1. Huge, unprecedented suspensions and permanent banning of individuals from the left: President Donald Trump Sidney Powell Lin Wood Dan Bongino QAnon Conservatives This is a blatant attack upon first amendment rights. 2. The second impeachment of Donald Trump, withstanding any evidence. This included every Democrat and 10 RINOs. Where's the right to due process and a fair hearing? Calls to invoke the 25th amendment whereas the vice president, Mike Pence, would remove President Donald Trump from office immediately. 3. Joe Biden's remarks about getting rid of the NRA within his term. A blatant attack on our 2nd amendment rights. Without their representation, his administration could quickly move to gun control and banning. Furthermore, Biden's plans will certainly lead to g
