@graysonguinn_@GreenPlusAnE Because Rs have bicameral majorities and an R in the White House. I’m aware the party was pro-reform in the past, but Johnson and other fiscal conservatives are not prioritizing entitlement cuts
@MatthewTanous@GreenPlusAnE Agreed. This was really to illustrate the Trump GOP’s lack of interest in addressing solvency
But the bigger issue is that he moved the party away from Bush/Tea Party-era entitlement reform in 2016
@watershed_notes@Empty_America Christ you conservatives don’t get it.
There is no “fixed supply” of “white teenagers”
Other teenagers, adults, wage workers etc would enter the sector if demand drove up wages.
If you want a fixed supply of labor, try North Korea
@Tricknologist_@tardwife4life@Empty_America What are “total costs”
Look, you can oppose immigration and want a smaller labor supply. It will push native-born construction worker’s wages up.
However, you need to accept that that comes with tradeoffs, namely housing become less affordable and accessible
