[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1060539, member: 22662"] [b]Re: Obamanomics[/b] My goodness, texan. Go throw up already and get over the melancholy. This is still the United States and we are still more than capable of sorting out the tangled mess of ugly that politics can be. So what if things get a little tough. We've been there before and have only ourselves to blame for the last 30 years of goofy accounting and make believe economics. If and I repeat If we want to have a more sane approach to the economy, there is more than enough room to compromise. Any company laying off now simply hasn't planned for the future that everyone saw coming. Shedding workers now isn't going to keep them viable into 2013 especially if their production drops. So these are the ones that didn't have money on the sidelines waiting to invest. They have been scraping by and even if tax rates stayed at the historic lows they are at now, they would be in the same situation. So companies are either prepared for the certainty they crave with higher taxes and more regulation or they will be pleasantly surprised with a deal being made. Or maybe, just maybe, companies are using the situation as an excuse to cut workers and increase their bottom line. [/QUOTE]
