Don't worry Trump will soon solve that high employment problem with his tariffs.
They will take a while to kick in but if he keeps on going the US will eventually have severe economic problems in relation to it's biggest trading partners.

And if what the left so dearly wants to happen comes true, the left will be giddy as schoolgirls!
Oh cool, more low paying jobs which insures welfare will stay sky high
Nobody is forced to take a job they do not want. This is a free country. And workers are free to negotiate. If they lack the skills/bargaining power to be worth a higher wage, there are plenty of opportunities for training in this nation. People from all over the world are attracted to America due to the shear volume of opportunities to better one's future.
Wait...aren’t SNAP levels falling? I’m pretty sure there was a thread about that issue but I couldn’t find it.
Ever so slightly. Since 2007 population has increased 8 % while food stamp usage is 50% higher than before the crash. For the first time ever a majority of school aged children are on free or assisted meals.

Flooding the market with legals and illegals has driven wages down in certain fields. Plus why work harder and earn more when you can have almost as much on welfare with less work? The long term thinking looses out and enticing people to not work and not raise their kids in 2 parent households isn't a good move.

Adding in all the Trump drama will eventually turn us into the Colin Kaepernick of the international trade world.

People can be as pathetic as they choose to be. But they cannot coerce or force me to pay for their poor choices. You reap what you sow in this world.
As for the illegals, that's why we have Trump.
