“More proof of what a stunning job GWB did.. Thank you Mr. President!”
While I think that GWB should be rotting in prison for any one of the many illegal things he did while president, our current problems are caused by several decades of true bipartisan scumbag efforts.
I’m not afraid of anyone – least of all you boy! [...] DO NOT call me any more names!
I wrote, “If you actually are afraid of someone because of his middle name then you are dumb.” If you aren’t afraid of anyone then I didn’t call you dumb.
Thankfully I didn’t write anything about reading comprehension as a judge of intelligence…
The problems you are, arent recent, as you can tell.
I can point to a couple things that happened during BUSH, that caused allot of this.
What I can also say is that this has been happening for 15-20 years.
Somethings changed..
BEFORE most of this happened, PROFIT was the WAGE for those on top. if you made NOTHING, you GOT Very little. NOW they get WAGE and then Benefits AFTER.
Another point to make is that thee IS NO COMPANY in the world, where the TOP workers get >100 TIMES the wages at the bottom. And if they do, it WONT LAST LONG.
Another point is the PRICE of goods has risen, for NO REASON in the last 10-15 years.
Someone said “that a Rise of 3% increase in the economy PER YEAR was a good thing”. The only problem is that BUSINESS figured that with COSTS stable, they could raise prices 3% per year. Stable costs+3%+3%+3%+… for 20 years.. the ones that got the profit?? at the TOP.
NOTHING went up, not even wages, by much.
NOW the real problem.
HOW to make more profit and NOT lower UPPER wages. CUT from the bottom and Increase PRICES(even tho the costs are STILL pretty Stable).
All those jobs going overseas?? lets send MANAGEMENT OVERSEAS and cut costs..
Solution?? WAGES for TOP management, ISNT really a wage. Its a contract for PAYMENT. That says this person will make $$THIS MUCH$$ no matter how many hours they put in. And I think $1000+ per hour 24/7, sleeping OR NOT, isnt a proper WAGE.
its EASY, but the corps wont do it.
TOP wages CUT in half, DROP prices 25%..NOW.
its a type of competition.
GIVE the consumer WHAT he wants, QUICKLY.
They get happy, and JUMP to BUYING FROM YOU..not the other guys.
So, good luck guys, we are going to need it.
#23, Another point is the PRICE of goods has risen, for NO REASON in the last 10-15 years
It’s called inflation of the money supply. The dollar is worth less so it take more of them to buy the same goods.
Plus, a lot of things are heavily regulated by the government. There is a hicky to be associated with that, too.
Well, everybody have a Happy Thanksgiving. Cheers.
It cracks me up when even with facts presented to them, the Obama-haters still blame it on Obama. The downslide started with Bush in office. Also regarding Obama’s big spending spree… remember that when Bush was in office our country hit a record deficit in 2004… (yes, 4 years before we inaugurated President Obama). Let’s not forget in September of 2008 Bush pleaded with Congress to approve the first $700 billion dollar bailout. Some right-wingers seem to be suffering from either a severe case of amnesia or denial. We gave the republicans eight years to have their hand at America… now let’s allow the democrats four years to work at it.
24,
THE cost didnt go up..
the PRICE WENT UP and the seller paid the same..
Inflation?? thats PRICE GAUGING, NOT inflation.
ANd that HICKEY?? its called TAX. and GUESS WHAT. it only went up on a few products in the last 15 years. NOT FOOD, NOT CARS..
BUSH installed an import tax on IMPORTED wood from canada, WHICH is against the law.
WE were sending ALL out wood and metals to CHINA.
ANd min wage hadnt been raised in over 10 years. So as prices went up 3% per year, you STILL only got $4? per hour. only in the last 2 years have they RAISED the min wage, a WHOLE $1..
FACT:
ALL utilities have gone UP 30-50% and some have doubled in the last 10 years.. this is NOT an imported goods.
its the idea that UTILITIES wanted to regulate themselves and JUMP onto the stock market. the only way to make MONEY as a business is to RAISe the stock price. ALSO, make note, that the ELECTRIC company 90% of the time DOES NOT ouw the power generation..the DAMs belong to the USA government..so do MOST of the nuke plants. they ONLY well the electricity, and they have 30-50-100 year contracts NOT to raise the COST of the power.
Just goes to show what a stunning job “The One” has done in 2009. Rather than 8% unemployment we have 10% (or 17% if you are honest).
Blaming Bush doesn’t ring true after almost a year of social reengineering and business bashing. Is it any wonder people stopped spending money and companies aren’t hiring with Comrade O at the helm.
