For everyone that voted for Obama this is your "Hope" and your "Change" that he promised if you would give him your vote. Your gonna see unemployment rise dramatically, stocks continue to drop, gas prices continue to rise, taxes will rise for those of us with jobs because of obamacare and lost revenue from people being out of work. Well at least the times ahead will be pretty action packed and exiting to watch from an observer's point of view.
Coming from someone named AliensDoExist I don't know if I should take this post seriously...yeah I still don't know. Okay I guess if you believe in Aliens you wouldd believe that this thread holds the truth as well...edit on 8-11-2012 by ldyserenity because: Add

Gee. Well I must be stupid then. As must my employer. They just keep expanding and hiring quarter-on-quarter. I don't know how we're managing to stay in business. Our CFO must be a fool.
Yup, because the single enterprise you work for is indicative of the market as a whole.
Every industry is different, and, currently, most industries are not doing well.
Couldnt this model be used in the op then as in this is also a single enterprise. Do we need a poll from business owners or retailers about who is spending and who is not spending. I dont see that most industries are not doing well. Where do you get that from. Figures? Using words like most is dangerous as it implies much more than what is really happening. Some industries are not doing well is more accurate a statement. Not Most industries. You dont have a clear economic picture if you believe that.

She didn't read it. The President didn't read it. No one that passed it read it. Good for you though in finding the time to read it all the way through.

First of all, people do not vote Dem because they'll receive free stuff.
That is what the right is telling themselves because that is easier to swallow than the fact that their ideas are outdated and only support fundamentalist Xtians and the super wealthy.
The fact is that the 'free stuff' people collecting is SS which they pay into. It's their money.
Secondly, if you're referring to welfare, Republicans pay that out too. Actually, red states receive the most government assistance.
Your thinking is all straw man and it's going to prevent you from coming up with actual solutions. You're stuck on the Santa Claus propaganda.

Why hasn't your business been running that way all along? The end goal is to have technology replace workers so we can have more leisure time. Work is for robots.
You do understand we don't intend to share what we produce or give it away?
With all the technology we have we are working more than ever, what makes you think that more technology will eliminate work?
It will only eliminate the need for useless eaters who do not contribute to furthering the technology. Don't forget that in most all populace revolutions the 'intellectuals' and 'artists' are the first to get 86'd.

Answer: it's not.

You just don't get it, do you? This is why Obama ultimately won, people like you and your "damn the rich for having money" mentality, espoused while having ZERO clue about how businesses run. You think the economy was bad before? Just wait, it's about to get a whole lot worse.
It's actually YOU who appear ignorant. Companies that lay off people because they are too scared about the economy are the problem.
What this country needs to do is to reject companies that lay off people because of who is in office and start supporting companies that hire when times are tough and have actually expanded their business during a recession.
We should track companies that lay off employees because of who is in office and boycott their products and services and give that business instead to their competitors who aren't trying to make a political statement with people's jobs.
No, the economy will recover, it has already started to recover, it's time that people help this recovery along instead of trying to hijack the political process by artificially stagnating the economy over petty political differences.
Companies are laying off people because they have to have the money to pay the higher taxes that are coming down the pipeline from Obama (particularly in the form of Obamacare).

It is clear to me that this is an attempt by the capitalist to punish the common worker for not voting in the interest of the capitalist class. It is very important for the Unions to be very strong during this time. The Unions must show the owners of production that laying off workers will not work as a way to force the agenda of profit at all cost; regardless of the effect it will have on society. The workers must stand together and show the capitalist class that regardless of who is elected, the demands and exceptions of the workers will remain the same.

I tend to listen to what the business people are saying, rather than policy wonks.
I guess we'll see what history says.

His Pro Business policies, like lower Taxes and 0bamacare repeal would have created better economic conditions for businesses.
This is not new, and to ask this question over and over again just shows ignorance.
When the Govt has an anti business stance, business will retract.
Not rocket science.
