    Regarding work, if there was no welfare would people complain about having a job?

      Lyman, the "no big deal" argument invariably cuts both ways. If it's no big deal to do something (show ID to vote), then it's no big deal to say show an electric bill instead. In any case, the position of the GOP, as channeled by the moment through Mitch McConnell, is that voter lists are a big deal but nothing else about elections is. And of course it isn't just about registering. It's how lists get purged, how absentee/early voting are used, how polling places are restricted. Take any aspect and you will find an example of a GOP administration with a thumb on the scale. My own view is more free market, that the GOP should complete for minority votes instead of trying to suppress them.
      again,
      my comments were bipartisan,

      how many Democrats have been caught tampering in some way?

      why an electric bill etc etc,

      anyone and everyone can get a DL or ID card ,, what is so hard about that?

        Yes, and some may give him the vote. But others are not just interested in economic issues. I guess we could classify them as "values voters".

          Some will say that since they found work and the minimum wage is below $15 that they are being forced "back" into slavery and it's all Trumps fault.
          Well Allen... permit me to explain my problem here in SW Florida trying to hire workers.....

          Welfare recipients is not my problem .... but sub 30 yr olds still living at home sure is . Most of my block are hardcore Trump fans with 20+ year old kids either still not working...
          or working part time.....part time...

          Funny thing is ... in an area where you can pick up a job in an afternoon search.... Trump fans are still telling me that Trump is going to turn things around for their kids and provide jobs ..... kids who are no different than welfare recipients

          might not be Trumps fault ... but some of that fault goes to his supporters .... know what I'm saying ?

            So you think just because "some" of your neighbors are Republicans and have kids living in the basement. That Democrats have no kids living in basements? Ray

              not sure what Trump has to do with any of what you are saying,


              if the kids have no ambition, and/or it the parents don't instill in them that they need to get out and work, (at some point regardless of the job) , then does it really matter what president is in office?



              as far as fans,, well Trump has his,

              Obama had folks believing he was the cure for all evil,
              Bush was going to win the global war on terror,
              clinton was going to ,,,,,,,,,


              etc etc etc

              if you are having trouble hiring, have someone look at your business and see why


              is you competition struggling as well?

                It was actually togor and his user names that I was referring to as not working, collecting welfare and living in his parents basement with nothing to do but pound away senseless, useless comments on the computer all day and all night long in his feeble attempt to corrupt everyone into his way of thinking.

                    Zing! This board still has one aspect of old time conservatism that I really like: non-conformists can stand up, take their arrows from the think-alike crowd, and if they choose, keep standing. Ignore lists can't touch that.

                      The report is "dead" except to the demoncrats who are trying to raise a dead horse. What is going to be more of interest is what is coming in the fall with the current investigations.

                        Sandpebble, how in the hell is it Trump supporters fault that you can't get help? I got news for you, Democratic supporters kids are the same. You want help? Go to the nearest Home Depot you will find plenty of people hanging out in front willing to work for you.

                          If Pebbles treats his hires how he acts on here, who would want to work for him/her?

                            It would appear he's alluding to the disconnect in his neighbors' politics and their luck raising their own kids. Sort of a "MAGA begins at home, don't it?" question.

                                His message was clear to me, he blames only the Republican's for not being able to find workers, Ray
