and your all blaming this on Obama?
I'd rather have people getting laid off, than sending people to war in Iran.
Because do not doubt for a second that the republicans (neocons) were not going to instruct Romney to take out Syria, Iran and Lebanon. It was a done deal with Romney at the post that the bankers, CEO's and the such were going to take home much more $$$ by increasing the Bush Tax Cutes to the wealthy!
Obama's going to cut defence spending, isnt that a good thing? Arent they raping the US tax $ enough?
You've had 4yrs of Obama, now he's been elected for another 4yrs all of a sudden everyones going to lose their job like its prophecy, reincheck, the US is only struggling because bankers, the military and its ceo's are out sourcing your jobs so they can take more profit.

In 2004, a study released the UC Berkeley Labor Center found that "reliance by Wal-Mart workers on public assistance programs in California comes at a cost to taxpayers of an estimated $86 million annually; this is comprised of $32 million in health related expenses and $54 million in other assistance.

Overall, revenue, excluding Sam's Club membership fees, was up 5.5 percent to $108.6 billion. Results were buoyed by Wal-Mart's international business, which produces 26 percent of its revenue. The company's international division was up 16.2 percent.
The retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., reported net income of $3.8 billion, or $1.09 per share, in the three months ended July 31. That compares with $3.6 billion, or 97 cents per share, in the same period last year. Analysts had expected $1.08 per share on revenue of $108.08 billion.

This argument is nothing more than financial terrorism from the right. Such slime, they are.

I work for a company that has been on a hiring spree all year, adding 50+ jobs this year alone. Today, I got the call that my staff is being cut by over 75%. I have no idea how we'll be able to deliver our work next year, it just seems impossible.
I've heard some other anecdotal evidence that people are losing their jobs all across the company as businesses allocate what used to be salary to future taxes.

I find it hard to follow your points as they seem to be jumping all over the place.
You seem to be pro-Bama, yet the things you're complaining about sound like you should be anti-Obama.

I'm not going to blame any company for not wanting to pay for every single one of their employees medical or other things. That's socialism bordering on communism.
Originally posted by Larry L Do you make enough a week to save any money in the bank? Well, if so you should be giving ME some of that money since you can afford to save, and I can't get employed, RIGHT?! If you believe that, and are offering, trust me.....I'll take that extra money you don't need. But the reality is, I don't think you owe me anything. I'm not asking for your money, nor am I even asking for a company to pay my medical. I just want a F'ing job.

One of the few things I can think of, that will get the economy rolling again, is get rid of this free trade with the world crap. The only free trade should be between states. Tax the crap out of imports. We were once a strong nation because we had very strong manufacturing. Can't have a strong nation, with weak manufacturing.edit on Thu, 08 Nov 2012 03:51:14 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)
