I see help wanted signs all over. They will never take them when they get free money given to them.


You nailed it.More on the dole than ever means less answering help wanted ads.
And corporations are sitting on their money,waiting on results of the November elections.

I'm talking major corporations, your talking little guy companies . The little guys always take it where the sun don't shine, as I did in 82. Luckily I was able to make a comeback in a few years, but only after moving my family to the outskirts of a big city , with a major population.

too big to fail. We need to break up these corporations so that they can't bring down an national economy. It's called regulation. Regardless, no company needs to be so large that it can't be held accountable without harming the nation. That should be a non partisan issue.

Romney wants total deregulation , like reagan gave the banks in the 80's , [ his entire cabinet came from wall street ] and the dems were too dumb to stop it. See 2008 Recession. I'm sure we can trust Big Oil to not screw up water supply, ocean , north pole etc. etc. after all, if Mitt wants to do away with EPA , it must be okay.

Also, the lowest tax rates in 30 years.
I'm still waiting for the trickle down (hoping it isnt urine).

I'm not a Romney supporter but I think you are exaggerating or simply making up a fair amount. Do you have citations for your claims?

Google what government departments Romney wants to close, Google Reagan's cabinet members , google when were banks deregulated Where have you been that you don't know any of this, and then have the audacity to say it's exaggerating, or simply made up ? Just see if Mitt wants to close EPA, and DEPT of education , leave education up to states, which many can't afford already, WITH fed gov't help, and he wants to take that away. keep the masses uneducated , kinda like all dictators have done.

You made a statement represented as fact and I am asking you to provide some sort of citation, not a bunch of google suggestions. Supply proof that he wants to eliminate the EPA, for example. Where and when has he made the statement he wanted to eliminate the EPA? I know he has stated it needs some restraint but never to outright eliminate it. Just back up what you stated as fact.

There are a lot of jobs out there, just not people skilled in what it takes to fill them. Then you have the uncertain economic situation where employers don't want to hire until they know what's coming down the pike in terms of new taxes, government regulations, et al.

I stand corrected, you are right, he has said he will be closing some, joining together others, but he won't say what where or when . That was Rick Perry I got confused with. I don't mind Manning up , when wrong.

Before I retired, they brought in a number of temps to try to replace me... We went through at least a dozen before my last day came & it still has not been filled. I'm talking college grads as well as others with varying degrees of education & experience. They have brought others from some of our other locations to help fill the gap until they find someone capable enough to do the job....Makes you wonder about the people out there looking & their qualifications as well
