Default When will the hiring start

I was asked last night by someone, when my company would begin to hire
again. I told him I was waiting for a sign. Obviously asked "What
kind of sign" so I told him.
The sight of lamposts on the DC mall bending under the weight of
Maxine Waters, Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Rangel,
Jefferson, Barney Frank, Obama ,etc. AND even that will not do. Now,
I also want to see Ezra Klein and the rest of the JournOlisters heads
on pikes in front of media outlets as a warning that the people will
not settle for made-up "news" anymore. The 2010 elections will not do
as we have no faith in them anymore.
There are millions of small businesses run by people like me and they
are even angrier than me. Employment WILL NOT improve until we are no
longer angry.
Will there be blood? I dunno but this verse from as far back as 1854
may be applicable:
From the New York Tribune in 1854, and the American Anti-Slavery
Society, is it applicable today?

THE AMERICAN FLAG

All hail the flaunting lie!
The stars look pale and dim;
The stripes are bloody scars--
A lie the vaunting hymn!

It shields a pirate’s deck!
It binds a man in chains!
It yokes the captive’s neck,
And wipes the bloody stains!

Tear down the flaunting lie;
Half-mast the starry flag;
Insult no sunny sky
With hate’s polluted rag!

Destroy it, ye who can;
Deep sink it in the waves!
It bears a fellow man,
To groan with fellow slaves!

Furl, furl the boasted lie!
Till freedom lives again,
To rule once more in truth,
Among untrammeled men!

Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains,
For in its folds are seen
The stamp of rustling chains!


So, I do not choose to support Demoslavery and neither do millions of
other small businessmen who would otherwise be hiring.
