Reagan Put Us Here

[Jacob Petersheim]

People forget that NAFTA didn't start with Clinton, or even Bush. No, it was a Reagan plan and he was a globalist of the first order.

Somehow he was later spun into some sort of hero among Republicans. I suppose that's the power of Madison Avenue in Wall Street's employ. California's Newsome is far more of a Ronald Reagan than a Jimmy Carter. Cheap Latino farm workers and Indian H1-B labor being only the tip of the iceberg of his aims.

H. Ross Perot tried and tried to warn us. Too many just closed their ears to it and voted for one face or the other of Globalist Duopoly.

Soon Clinton handed what was left to China.

I am reading that President Trump is changing the regulations for the H1-B workers, and now it will cost $100,000 per year for each one to be here. Most companies are not going to pay that kind of a price to keep a worker unless it is a highly skilled one, so we will probably see some big changes in this area happening soon.
Many of the doctors we have now are not from the United States, and they probably make enough money to afford the $100 grand to keep working in America, but this is not going to be true for the people here working in gas stations and hotels. It sounds like it will also stop the overseas answering service people, too, although I am not sure how that part is going to work yet.
But instead of getting some person in India which we can barely understand, we will get Susan in Cincinnati, who is a work from home housewife instead.

Most American men dreamed of being a doctor in America in the 50's and 60's. Of course many also wanted to be a lawyer.
Now doctors don't make the money they did then, so the stressful life of today's doctor isn't the same.
I had one doctor almost cry when I complained about the co-payment when our health insurance was already high. he said he can hardly pay his staff with what the insurance company's pay them. I told him I didn't realize it was so bad and apologized for complaining.
How anyone could even think a doctor who studied and worked for over 7 years just to get certified should have money problems.
I can remember when I was a kid and Mama would always tip the waiters so well. She always said he is putting himself through college. Many restaurants back then had waiters. She also never passed a beggar downtown without putting money in his can. Most were WW11 vets many missing limbs ,legs or arms. Now they are mostly drug addicts or mentals.
Of course we also have vets who VA's put on drugs instead of medical care.
This is not the same " Home of the Free" I grew up in. Now it is home of the freebie aka welfare.

It isn't just gas station and hotel workers. I spent plenty of years training up Indian computer programmers when big contracts were let for cheap software development. These guys were crammed into motel rooms rented long term and there was quite a rotation as they trained on the job and then moved on to other contracts. But there are also large Indian holdings in motels and hotels. Some of them own 20 properties or more in the US. As far as I can tell these came here with financial assets, and entered via Canada as "re-immigrants," not on work visas.

The people who bought the corner store by where we live are from India, and they have several stores that they own, plus other family members who have Ben training there and then get their own convenience stores, and are funded by other Indian store owners already here.
Most of the doctors we have available that take new patients seem to be Hindee, too. The doctor we have now does not do much of anything except ask how we are doing and send us in for labs twice a year. We really don’t need much else, so we have just kept him as our doctor. But now I am wondering if there is going to be a doctor shortage if some of them go back to India .
