First, welcome to DU.

And second, the "jobs that Americans are unwilling to do" are the ones that used to pay $30/hour with full benefits, and now pay $8 with no benefits. Or worse, jobs where the boss declares all his employees "independent contractors" and pays them $9/hour but they're responsible for all their taxes.

And you know WHY this country is in trouble, right? It's because Ronald Fucking Reagan, the worst disaster to ever hit the United States prior to Shrub, taught the business community labor was the most expensive part of any product, and if they wanted to sell lots and lots of products they should fire all those pesky Americans and ship their jobs to the lowest-wage country they could find. Then everything would be great! (Except for the part about how if they ship all the jobs out of the country no one in the country could afford to buy the stuff...)
