Bite Me Says: We Can't Recover All The Jobs Lost

[drcha]

Quote from jem:


You have to unleash the private sector...not shackle it.

Investments would fly over here from around the world.

Yes, yes, yes. The government has no idea how to create jobs. No government in the US has ever made headway with unemployment. Yet everyone forgets this, over and over again, as if it were the first recession we have ever had.

It's 8:30 PM EST. President Obama is still a Negro.

The hatred must continue.

That is all.

Negro? Incorrect.

Hatred? More like disgust.

Quote from Retief:

What the phuck has government regulation accomplished so far? Phucking nothing. There's a big ass hole in the ocean floor that has been spewing oil for the last 2 months, which the government can't fix or even figure out who's ass to kick. Government regulation isn't the cure, it's the disease.

I actually agree with some of your points and think its far worse. I think Obama is delaying response to push Carbon tax, windmills, and solar when nuclear and natural gas is much more practical. So how does less government help. You really believe there is a corporate conscience? You don't have to look far to see how Corporate conglomerates move from one third world dump to another always seeking the lowest price. Its how capitalism is designed. Extreme capitalism is bad as Communism. Marx was right in one aspect. Capitalism will sell you the noose to hang yourself.

As much as I disagree with some of Ron Paul's points I would be willing to give him a shot. What politics has showed me in 20 years of voting is there is very little real choice for change. One guy gives move crumbs to the poor and the other tax breaks to his cronies.

The issue is outsourcing jobs and manufacturing overseas is too cost effective. Until American workers lower their standards and accept comparable pay, benefits and work conditions as the foreign workforce the jobs will remain overseas.

As an employer... you can not afford not to virtualize your manufacturing and support... at least 5x cheaper.

Quote from dandxg:

Do you really believe the avg. American Corp. pays those high taxes claimed? 2nd only to Japan I recall. I don't. I believe they use offshore structures and all sorts of complicated tax avoidance methods. They are smart and will grind for every nickel like any smart business.

So you favor what. Libertarian Ron Paul? No government regulation low taxes. What do we do when the next Gulf spill happens? The Adam Smith Free Hand will solve it? C'mon Corporations with the exception of companies like REI don't give a damn about ppl or the environment its all about profits for shareholders and you know that. And no, I don't believe over regulation is the answer but we need some and that costs money.

Are you willing to cut the Defense budget? Because there is alot of pork there. I am willing to cut social programs are you willing to cut defense pork?

The last thing that needs mentioning is all Bush did with Greenspan is create a bubble. So do we want another bubble or sustainable growth? For all the crap Canada gets they are quietly smiling with no bubble except for Vancouver.

yes - the defense dept, along with social spending have to be cut.
homeland security is a bit of joke without a secure border... so lets cut some of that shit too. Government contractors all seem to make 6 figures... that needs to be cut by 15% right now if we can't balance the budget.

Revenues will go up with a flat tax you just have to pick the right level. And being that budget deficits are in the trillions we really do not have worry about fine tuning right now.

So why not go to 10%... more corporate taxes will come back to our shores.

It's amazing to me that you can't differentiate between a dislike for policy and racism.

Quite moronic.

As usual the PODS (party of the dumb supporters) live in fantasyland if they think their party creates jobs. I guess if ya believe in an invisible man in the sky, then your gullable enough to believe anything!

Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On Record

Republicans don't create jobs. Their sole existance is to transfer taxpayer dollars from intended programs into their corporate partners' pockets. That's it.

Quote from pspr:

You don't do it with higher taxes, massive social programs, anti business policies, open boarders, massive new public debt, threats and uncertain policies. Any moron can see that we're doing the opposite of what needs to be done. Current policies are even left of Europe! It's crazy.

Obama and his misguided economic policies and advisors are nothing but a ship of fools sinking the US economy into an abyss deeper than the leaking BP oil well.

Saddest of all.... Obama and his clowns DON'T GIVE A CRAP.. about jobs nor the future of America. All he wants is to increase and solidify Big Government's role, power and control.... in everything economic and personal...

Wouldn't it be ironic if this unfolding Russian spy ring has members in Obama's administration? It wouldn't surpise me as much as many of them dislike the U.S.A.
