I run a business too and this past year has been awful. At the
beginning of summer I laid off two people and put the rest on half
time. Enough business came back to allow me to put half time people
back on almost full but I still owe a huge amount from carrying them
for a few bad months. I am whittling it down but it still worries
me. Why can't I get a bailout? My people need to get paid too. My
guys are highly educated unlike a know nothing auto worker whose
wrench is smarter than he is. Wouldnt it make more sense to keep the
smart people employed so they can generate work for the less mentally
gifted? GM says they have money only till the beginning of the year,
SO FU%$ING what, that is normal for business.
Until Harry Reid, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the people who caused
our financial meltdown are out of office I wont hire anybody else or
put any money into the market.
