    With unemployment below 4% this is also happening in other industries. Policy makers must shift to a worker focused economy rather than a jobs focused one.

    That’s awesome!

    Met someone today who said I didn't look a day over 90. Met twin girls age 5. They thought I didn't look at day over 20. I like them better. :-) They could not comprehend I was 90 years older than they. Hard to imagine.

    Cities paying to find workers? Maybe thoughtful, pragmatic immigration reform could help. Cutting legal immigration would hurt.

    Thanks Don!

    I often say that roofers keep our cities in operation. Witness a hurricane-struck area. Without roofs, life is chaos. Shelter is essential for life. Thank you National Roofing Contractors Association. We thrive because you provide a safe place to work and raise our families.

    . after spending nine hours sealing my driveway I then parked my car in front of it at one end and blocked off the other with cut wood to let people know not to drive on it. UPS guy drives around all of it so he/she didn’t have to walk 15’. Next time I use

    This is mostly right. The doc fix portion would have been paid without regard to the permanent fix congress did in 2015. The money is the same as it would have been. The fix made it certain and protected Medicare/aid patients by insuring a doctor would actually take them.

    Hmmm. Interesting.

    Witness the hypocrisy that our two-party system breeds: Check out these similar letters warning the president about commencing offensive strikes against Syria without congressional approval. 2013 signers: 119 Rs, 21 Ds 2018 signers: 15 Rs, 73 Ds Very few of us signed both.

    Sec Mattis cites article II as authorization because the civil war could escalate threatening US security interests. Under this broad interpretation POTUS could go to war anywhere anytime. This argument also discounts/circumvents Article I powers.

    The current authorization allowed the US to go after terrorists after 9/11. It does NOT give a blanket authorization to go after a country involved in a civil war. The cause POTUS laid out may be a noble one. Should have been easy to get congress to give ok.

    The President’s authority to strike Syria does not exist absent authorization from Congress. The current authorization is based on an AUMF that is nearly two decades old. Without regard to whether Syria should pay a price for using chem weapons. Only congress can declare war.

    As he often is on National Security issues is correct here as well.

    GOP WI Rep Gallagher on Fox: Mattis made it clear the admin doesn't feel they need the authority. I disagree. I think that's a misreading of the Constitution which only gives the executive branch authority to repel sudden attacks..we've strained the 9/11 AUMF to its breaking pt

    Great stuff . The solution is not this bill. It was first the budget, then the will to follow it with individual appropriations.

    . is right. It's no wonder Americans are cynical about Congress when we vote on a "balanced budget amendment," only a month after passing a $1.3T omnibus bill. Republicans had better get serious about using the rest of 2018 to do what the voters elected us to do.

    After several years of declining deficits, now this. I always said as a member of congress any accomplishment is cast in sand because the next congress can simply undo your work. Well here it is.

    Permanent trillion-dollar deficits on the horizon. National debt on its way to equal the size of the economy. Serious consequences for the country. The new outlook from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is eye opening.

    Great opinion piece here. The need is not jobs - it’s workers. Opinion | America needs more workers. Trump’s war on immigration won’t help. - The Washington Post
