For the Worker

The celebration of Labor Day is great as far as it goes, but it must never be forgotten that there would not be workers in the United States were it not for employers. The Biden regime that won't build a wall on our Southern border is constructing a mountain of obstacles for business owners to overcome. At the same time, schemers are planning to impose thirty-six (36) or even thirty-two (32) hour work weeks to supposedly fix America's problem with unemployment. The problem is not that a forty (40) hour work week has deprived people jobs, or that by fiat, government can create employment. The problem is over-generous government benefits strip folks of their incentive to work. I see "hiring" signs all over Nashville. A shorter work week may indeed create more job openings, but will do nothing to make more willing bodies to fill those vacancies.
