Trump should initiate laws for Home Health Care Workers

Back when I was a career center director, I became aware of Home Instead. One of the medical assistant grads I was assisting with her job search let me know I didn't have to call her much like a parole officer does, for she had a job paying MINIMUM WAGE that essentially was "field related."

One of our sales reps said she'd worked weekends for Home Instead. She said it was easy money, for she refused to do clients with incontinence. She got paid to be available for them when they were sleeping, so she slept as well.

Sad to think that Vox.com blames slavery for the low wages. People are only willing to pay for services they can afford. Unfortunately, 24 hour care, even at minimum wage, is costly to the average person. There's an unskilled labor force willing to work for "slave wages."

Throwing out cliches about women and people of color being valued less only re-enforces the notion they are worth less.

We spend tons of money on housing prisoners. Google the numbers and you'd think we were paying for a Ivy League education rather than confining someone away from society.

No one knows how much illegal immigration actually costs.

The big China trade war "problem" is the decline in soybeans being sold there, yet we still have 40 million Americans struggling with hunger?

How much does it cost to ship soybeans to China? How much does the US Government pay to feed its hungry poor?

Think of the environmental costs involved when immigrants come to the U.S. from countries without washing machines or A/C in every house.

Trump could propose his own "Green New Deal" which infuses an "America First" agenda, but unfortunately could be embraced by Environmental wackos like the dude who shot up the El Paso Walmart.
