Well, at 10.2 % unemployment, the stimulous didn't work. The stimulus
money that hasn't been spent needs to get pulled back and maybe do some
tax credits for companies to hire, as Senator Feingold suggested this
morning. We really need to forget about the health care bill which we
know will add to the deficit and cost jobs, cap and trade too and get
back to jobs...

You should expect 12.5% unemployment by June 2010. Us employers have
gone on strike against the Obamination and his cronies who caused the
economic meltdown. As long as Dodd, Frank and Obama are still in
office or still have power, nobody will invest. At least Corzine who
benefited from the meltdown got kicked out.
So, you can either vote people out in the 2010 election or learn to

Reply: Completely untrue. the unemployment rate will still climb slightly,
but as productivity increases at some point no significant gains can be had
with current employees, orders (which are increasing) will force companies
to hire. The turning point should be mid-2010.

We should all feel so good, the second derivative is getting smaller,
ie the rate of increase is getting smaller. Note, unemployment is
still getting larger and is far beyond anything Obama said would
happen under his porkulus that has done so much to cause
unemployment. Of course with his ideas on punishing small business by
hitting em with an 8% tax for not supplying health care, you can
expect unemployment to jump sharply if they pass this monstrosity.
Most employers know they can do well with fewer employees and when
they consider this 8% they will immediately cut employees.
Outsourcing to no benefit independent contractors will be far cheaper
than employees and using software or robots to do stuff will be much
more attractive than new employees. Obama is providing the incentive
to produce permanent unemployment above 10%. Even burger flippers
will be replaced by machines and all the Wal Mart greeters will be
replaced by cutesy "HelloKitty" style robots who will not require
bennies. Welcome to Obamanomics where only party members have jobs.
I refuse to hire and refuse to invest in Obama's Soros inspired

Only an Obama voter could think that punishing small business, (the
part of the economy that always starts to hire first at the end of a
recession) with an 8% tax for not offering health insurance to
employees will encourage them to hire. Morons, this will encourage
small business to lay people off AND encourage other small businesses
to get by without getting bigger. Why grow if the penalty for growth
is an 8% tax and endless health insurance paperwork. It will also
keep people from even wanting to start their own businesses.
The "stimulus" offered by Bush was supposed to be used to buy "toxic
mortgages" but was instead funelled to Obama cronies with nearly no
such mortgages bought, they are still on the books. Now, Barney Frank
wants to force the insurance industry to use similar low standards to
force them to sell insurance to bad risks, a guarantee the insurance
companies will collapse.

Actually has a lot to do with reality and history. When I was a kid, there
were ushers at the movie theater. Most of those went away when the minimum
wage was implemented. All those jobs the kids did starting out and learning
how to be a worker disappeared. Raise the cost of business too much, and
the business will disappear. Just like in California. Raise the sales tax
to 9.75%. Probably a boom in internet sales. People like me that were
planing a trip anyway, replaced the tires in another state. Saved 4.5% on
$800. Wife said too bad we were not planing a trip to Oregon. Want a nice
paint job on your car? Take it out of state. Body shops can only use water
based color paints now. But the home painter without a spray booth and
filters can use the good paint.

The unemployment claims are dropping every month from a high of 700K to
190K last month. I know this bothers you, but things are getting better,
or rather, the rate of unemployment is slowing.

The rate of unemployment should now be negative according to the reasons

the stimulus package.

And, you don't have to worry about finding a job, they will tell you

Reply: Nice rant, but has very little to do with reality.

Nom=de=Plume


Actually has a lot to do with reality and history. When I was a kid,
there were ushers at the movie theater. Most of those went away when the
minimum wage was implemented. All those jobs the kids did starting out and
learning how to be a worker disappeared. Raise the cost of business too
much, and the business will disappear. Just like in California. Raise
the sales tax to 9.75%. Probably a boom in internet sales. People like
me that were planing a trip anyway, replaced the tires in another state.
Saved 4.5% on $800. Wife said too bad we were not planing a trip to
Oregon. Want a nice paint job on your car? Take it out of state. Body
shops can only use water based color paints now. But the home painter
without a spray booth and filters can use the good paint.



I think he was talking about some notion of a tax on small business re
heathcare.

Surpluses are to be spent in the world of GW Bush. He never had to
account for anything in his professional life. Failures were always
covered by daddy and his friends. US resources were just another
daddy-type account to draw on for GW.

Didn't hear these dildo Republicans bitching then. "It's our

But of course Obama will whine that it is Bush's fault.

When is it time to man up and accept the reins of leadership and
responsibility. I can see it now. The year is 2012 and Obama is
saying
if you give me another 4 years we can finally get started on getting
undone what Bush did.


Thank you George W. Bush for screwing up an economy and getting us
embroiled in a war of choice. Thank you for sending 1000s to die for
no
good reason.

When is it going to be time for you to man up and accept the facts.

Economy was already screwing up and primed to really implode before
George
got in. George did not help the situation at all. As one of the
financial
comentators said today. Bill Clinton was a better Republican than
George
Bush.

Have a look at this and see if you continue to agree with the above...

And that has what to do with the discussion?


Why the hell would GW Bush demand those gigantic tax cuts if we were
headed towards the ****ter? Didn't he know any better?


Because, as I said Bush was worse than Clinton. Neither helped the economy.
Clinton looked good because Greenspan let a bubble build.

NY Times did a good set of graphics on the state of unemployment. Even
the simps should be able to comprehend...

Only an Obama voter could think that punishing small business, (the
part of the economy that always starts to hire first at the end of a
recession) with an 8% tax for not offering health insurance to
employees will encourage them to hire. Morons, this will encourage
small business to lay people off AND encourage other small businesses
to get by without getting bigger. Why grow if the penalty for growth
is an 8% tax and endless health insurance paperwork. It will also
keep people from even wanting to start their own businesses.
The "stimulus" offered by Bush was supposed to be used to buy "toxic
mortgages" but was instead funelled to Obama cronies with nearly no
such mortgages bought, they are still on the books. Now, Barney Frank
wants to force the insurance industry to use similar low standards to
force them to sell insurance to bad risks, a guarantee the insurance
companies will collapse.


Reply: Nice rant, but has very little to do with reality.

Actually has a lot to do with reality and history. When I was a kid,
there were ushers at the movie theater. Most of those went away when the
minimum wage was implemented. All those jobs the kids did starting out
and learning how to be a worker disappeared. Raise the cost of business
too much, and the business will disappear. Just like in California.
Raise the sales tax to 9.75%. Probably a boom in internet sales. People
like me that were planing a trip anyway, replaced the tires in another
state. Saved 4.5% on $800. Wife said too bad we were not planing a trip
to Oregon. Want a nice paint job on your car? Take it out of state.
Body shops can only use water based color paints now. But the home
painter without a spray booth and filters can use the good paint.



I think he was talking about some notion of a tax on small business re
heathcare.

He may have been, but it is all cost to the business. And if a business can
not make a decent profit, then the business will close.
