The day George W. Bush left office, unemployment was only 4.61%. Why did Hussein 0bama have to ruin the USA?
Remember how great it was back in late 2008? Unemployment at record low levels. Stock market up every day. No need for bank bailouts, "stimulus," or ANY government action to preserve the economy No federal reserve. Income tax rates far, far lower than they are today. And the American people, happy and free. Why did Hussein 0bama have to wreck all that perfection?
Correction. Of the 14.6 million people that work for the government, how many should be fired?
I am going to say 11 million this time. They need to find real jobs and we need to stop paying all their salaries. http://www.numberof.net/number-of-government-employees-in-the-us/
Why are Saudis racist towards expatriates?
I will present some facts to provide you a glimpse of what expats are in the Saudi community -According to data released by the Kingdom’s Central Department of Statistics and Information (CDSI), Saudi Arabia has 10.1 Million Expats which make up 33% of the population.Unemployment in the Kingdom is still in the double digits at 11.6 percent; one of the world’s highest for a national unemployment rate.The rate of employment among Saudis declined by 38 percent in the private sector during 2015.If we exclude the “fake Saudization” of jobs, which is estimated at around 500,000 people, the unemployment rate would rise to 21 percent.Expats’ remittances had almost tripled since 2004, having increased from $15.1 billion(SR57 billion) to over $36 billion (SR135 billion) in 2013. The World Bank claims Saudi Arabia accounts for the second highest volume of remittances after the US, with $37 billion in 2015.All these facts led to an outrage among the locals that Saudi’s did not get enough jobs. This was seen as a direct result of Expats taking up the jobs meant for Saudi’s. This led to the government taking up measures such as increase in Government fees for various processes, Saudization, etc.Most of the locals do not understand that, to get better jobs - you need to work hard and have better qualifications. Kicking out expatriates is not a solution.Also, many South Asians work in low-paying positions such as truck drivers, cleaners, construction labourers, etc. This lead to Saudi’s having a mindset which sees them as Inferior people. They are surprised when they see a Bangladeshi work as a Manager of the company because they haven’t seen them in such positions before.In a nutshell, they think that we take away their opportunities despite being inferior people.Disclaimer : Not all Saudi’s think like this. There are good people too who understand such things and are compassionate and friendly with expatriates.Sources: Arab News, Saudi Gazette and The General Authority of Statistics, Saudi Arabia.
What would happen if all people in the US living below the poverty level disappeared?
On average, vital statistics like life expectancy would improve. American society would be healthier on average because they were weighing the averages down.The racial makeup of the US would switch to fewer African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans, and more whites and Asians proportionately.25.8% of African Americans live below the poverty line, 23.2% of Hispanic Americans, 27.0% of Native Americans, 11.6% of white Americans, 11.7% of Asian Americans live below the poverty line.So basically all of those populations would disappear.Incomes would go up on average, not only because all of these people disappeared but because:Millions of fewer people would now be sharing a US-sized economy. We would all get slightly larger pieces of the pie.Companies would have to raise wages in jobs previously held by people below the poverty line to quickly get new employees. Many of these jobs cannot be shipped overseas… I mean, how is a Starbucks barista’s job in Portland going to be shipped to Phnom Penh?
