Pennsylvania taxpayers fund rapping groundhog, G-Hog

Monica Yant Kinney | Rapping G-Hog got this to say...

People should get worked up about this but won't. Our state government is truly a laughing stock.

The worst part is that our government is being used to encourage people to enter the health care industry not because there is a shortage of people, but because they want a cheaper labor market. Think about it this way. If these jobs paid well enough, they would have not trouble finding people to work in the industry. But why pay $40,000 a year if you can hire someone for $25,000 a year? How do you do that? Get state government to foot the bill to increase the supply of people in the job market. That way, when you have a new job to fill, instead of 2 applicants, you can have 10 and then you can start to lower the pay when you realize there are more qualified workers than available jobs.

This is the same thing the IT field does with claiming there is a shortage of qualified IT people, necessitating an increase is the supply of H-1B visas.
