A baby step into fiscal sanity...No, the Left has not begun to see what the Tea Party wants.... And every advance reduces the lefts power for folk don't vote dem unless bribed.
How a strawman? One seldom/never hears the left advocating real entitlement reform. We DO hear never ending demands for higher taxes and the tax route does vastly less to solve the issue than spending cuts... Noting exactly what the left proposes is hardly a strawman...just the unvarnished truth.
Here I thought unemployement was due to mfg jobs leaving for over a decade. Then a housing boom crashed and laid off more workers in the housing, real estate, home furnishings, etc. And I thought people cutting back on their credit cards had something to do with unemployement. How silly of me to NOT think clean air and water and stupid taxes were the cause.
Why do you think manufacturing jobs left? It costs money to relocate and no one wants to do it, BUT, government gives them no other choice. Business is not a charity or leftist social program.
Pssst...what IS being proposed in tax increases produces FAR less deficit reduction than even the sham plan we got.
Pssst: Germany has more regulations and more manufacturing. Try a new meme. If you have a study that shows manufacturing left the US because of "regulations" produce it. Otherwise, you've been owned.
$5.00/day for labor in china vs $25.00/hr labor in US. So you are for dumping raw waste from factories directly into water supplies?
Bull (*)(*)(*)(*)!!! Business owners are uncertain. The Bush tax cuts are only good for 2 years...less now. They are uncertain how Ubamacare is going to affect them and their businesses. We are not talking big corporations here...we are talking SMALL BUSINESS owners and starters, which is the backbone of American Business. The only businesses taking in record profits are huge corporation and that is mostly due to overseas profits...not American profits. America lost with this debt deal and the Weiner Waggers aka liberals and the Ubama administration are the winners. They still have their blank check to go ahead and spend us into oblivion and line their own pockets with lobbyist money to uphold the unions who rob us blind, while instituting more nanny state programs that make people totally dependent on the government.
While I somewhat agree, I think it's rather ironic that we even listen to the ratings agencies anymore. Most of them were complicit in the recent banking collapse. Big banks bribed them to rate things much higher than they should have, and this resulted in a lot of people losing billions of dollars on risky and toxic assets.
Bzzzt. Incorrect. The US has the highest manufacturing output in the world, almost 4 times that of Germany.
I am for taking an honest look at the problem and making changes as necessary to insure some of those $25 jobs stay here...If that means fewer regulations and less government greed, ten so be it. Your flawed either/or argument was not lost on my...Either we pump waste into rivers or we embrace every hair brained, excessive or unnecessary regulation in existence or proposed...Very poor logic.
LOL! Yeah, there's no liberals in the stock market at all. Because all liberals are far-leftists trained in commie schools or madrassas who are taught from birth to hate the stock market. Are you people trolling or do you actually believe this (*)(*)(*)(*)?
Actually they love the stock market now that Ubama is president...it's one of Ubama's biggest friends along with all the big bankers. You see liberals condemn certain things like the fat cats, the rich, Banks, oil...etc...but these are all supporters of Ubama. You see liberals are the biggest (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hypocrites you could ever imagine. They say one thing and do another, consistently. You would think that liberals would hate Ubama for him being in bed with all the uber rich, like they demonized Bush or any Republican president for that matter...but no, they stand by him and worship him like a God.
DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!! Every point down = 100 less votes for the anti American Chimp! Here's hoping unemployment reaches 20% reported (it's probably close to that now)
This cutting spending policy will put us back into recession, that is why markets react like this. Good for republicans though- higher unemployment - check, sinking manufacturing - check, sinking markets - check, time to go on well deserved vacation and enjoy the view of collapsing economy from 5 star resort...
I can hardly count companies producing purely in US, unless you count derivatives as US best product.
Why would people give power idiots like you. Why electing someone who wants higher unemployment and (*)(*)(*)(*)ty economy?
Well, I can hardly credit your mercantilist notions that more manufacturing ought to be done here or that spending leads to prosperity, however the manufacturing output numbers are based on what is done in the US, not elsewhere. The US output in manufacturing in roughly 25% of the world's output.
Barry Hussein wanted higher unemployment and look what happened, liberals elected him and unemployment reached levels not seen in decades.
Just a phase, no big deal. The market and it's comentators would like people to react with emotion and excitement so they can drive down the stock prices. When the DOW shows about 9750, that will be a good time to get your ducks in order, because buying time will be close. I suppose it will come in early 2012. Depending on if the economy is still bad it will not get down much more. But if the economy is good, we may see the DOW at 8000 by June of 2012. Why, because a republican will be president, and the majority of investors will shift to real estate, banks, oil, and defense. That's right it will be time to rape the government again, and make money off the taxpayer.
We are trying to save this country. Live with it and get some dignity back. Stop being a whiny child.
