But.. But... The private sector is making RECORD PROFITS. The stock market has recovered.
Isn't it the siren song of people who dislike Obama that the private sector can run things better? Or, is it that, perhaps, all those record profits are going to the shareholders and executives since the companies don't NEED more employees? I've read article after article that shows it's *automation* that keeps us from rehiring as much as would be expected. |

Isn't it time to reactivate the "Misery index"?

Automation could be a contributor but is far from a major culprit. It takes manufacturing and sales of the items manufactured to create jobs. There will be no recovery unless there is increased manufacturing in this country. Corporations have been outsourcing manufacturing since the 80's.
Just google lost manufacturing jobs over the past twenty years and see the mass of information about the loss of our manufacturing base....machine tool companies closed...appliance manufacturing companies all a shadow of the past...automotive manufacturing ditto... There has been no major initiatives by this POTUS or those before him to pursue what it takes to create more manufacturing. How about incentives for American companies like GE that are keeping their profits earned off shore to avoid paying taxes here at home..reduce or eliminate the tax on those earnings to incent bringing the money back to the USA to invest in new technology and manufacturing (GE Already pays no taxes on money earned here!!). How about incentives for companies to mass produce wind power products? Solar power products? How about building new modern refineries to replace the ancient ones of the past 40 years? Or incenting coal companies to invest in clean coal manufacturing? And yes more drilling in the USA to keep the money from going to non USA entities and re-invest in manufacturing? There have been no initiatives by past POTUS and there certainly will be none from Obama...it just is not on his agenda as so many important issues for we the people are not. There is no mystery about the loss of jobs and how we got here. There is even less mystery about how to get the USA going again....NONE WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!! btk |

Nero and Congress.....
Wait I forgot....Congress voted to extend the Bush Tax Cuts because doing that would start the jobs flowing..... So where are the jobs? And if we lost jobs after big tax cuts why do we continue to offer them? |

But but but....
Yeah, we've lost jobs but our exports have INCREASED. We're actually manufacturing more than ever (this latest dip notwithstanding but I think you know what I'm driving at). |

John Boehner promised jobs with their majority in the House.....but wait, he's too busy trying to reign in his own troops who want to damage social security, do away with medicare, repeal health care, throw us into a financial disaster by not raising the debt ceiling and god knows what other harmful ideas.

Only a liberal would see the logic in spending more and borrowing more when you are already broke. Does that work for anyone's family here? Would you recommend that strategy for your own kids? By the by, here's a little quote for you from your man Mr. Obama himself on the debt ceiling. "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." |

Ask Obama, he's the one killing off most of them.

Silly me, I thought the present administration extended tax cuts and now they are "bush tax cuts" and not Obama tax cuts.
If you haven't noticed, jobs are heading outside the US at a frenetic pace never to return. Ask the all knowing Michael Moore, he and other libs seem to have the answers. |

Looks as though some folks in Spring Hill, TN, have pretty good jobs with homes for sale like this. http://www.homefinder.com/TN/Spring_...Ollie_Chunn_Rd
Oops, did I put your home in there that you are selling to come to The Villages? Looks pretty nice to me. |

This Is A Dangerous Statement
Quote:
But back to your assertion that "not raising the debt ceiling won't do a darn thing". There is no bankruptcy court for sovereign nations. There is no creditors committee who negotiates which of them will take the write off of their loans and investments. There is no group of lenders to provide interim financing until a balanced budget is achieved. I don't think it's much of a stretch to conclude that any and all of the following would result.
DK, I'd really suggest that you think a little bit before you make such dumb statements. You may influence others who don't choose to think about what's being said, relying on statements such as yours as fact, which would almost certainly result in detrimental results in their lives. I don't think that would be your intent. |

Still think it's time to reinstate the "Misery Index".
