Atlas shrugged in November 2008 on election night. Unless the GOP wins in a blowout then demands proof on eligibility then removes - it is over.
The idiots are controlled by TV and ball games. As long as the sheep can hold the clicker - they will accept serfdom.

Expect a push by Obama and this congress to go after company’s undistributed earnings just like FDR did when faced with the same reluctance to spend.

The Libs I know (those who are working) tell me that there are jobs out there -- but Americans refuse to do them.
I don't know why the sidewalks aren't littered with Libs nursing busted lips.

RAT staffers can start updating their resumes and hope that they can find a job for traitors somewhere in the world.

This sounds like so much fuzzy math. Sure, maybe it's true that companies are not expecting to layoff as much. They've reached a point where they've cut as many as they dare. It's like the bogus statistic the MSM likes to throw around, "The number of first time jobless claims fell to its lowest level blah blah blah.....". After awhile you get to a point where you only have a skeleton staff so you can't layoff any more. The real statistic should include those who exhausted their benefits along with the avg # of employees in a firm. When the number of jobs increases, then and only then is it a recovery.
Until then...

“Want” is an inoperative word. Management has a fiduciary duty to the owners and they apparently find it imprudent to hire at this time. We all know why.

Scary thought, that.
I have an S-corp. If I get hassled about distributions vs salary I was thinking about changing structure to a C corp and just keeping my “savings” as (already taxed) undistributed earnings, until dividend rates go down. If undistributed earnings are taxed to extinction then that wouldn’t work so well.

It’s not that businesses don’t want to hire people...they are afraid to hire people because the associated costs are not clear. Businesses can’t take the risk that government policies will massively increase the cost of employees.

Businesses don't want to hire anyone? True. We'll be lucky if we can pay the rent and keep the doors open with our present staff. We are caught in the jaws of a cruel vise: punitive taxes and heavy-handed government control on one side and inflation and slowing customer payments on the other.
Our Dear Leader is, no doubt, amused. He would like nothing better than to see every independent business in America fail.

"Its not that businesses dont want to hire people...they are afraid to hire people because the associated costs are not clear. Businesses cant take the risk that government policies will massively increase the cost of employees...."
In addition too the potential tax increases that companies may be facing in 2011.....one of them being discussed is the taxing of cash value build-up's on insurance policies.....if that is ok'd...it will send shock-waves through the industry....massive layoffs will follow....if they are not already occuring....
Stupid policies lead to economic chaos....stating the rich need to pay their fair share ain't what it's cracked up to be.....when the rich are in survival mode.....

The dem's policies are the obstacle to getting the economy on the mend. Last I saw there wasn't anyone in the Obama team that have ever run anything other than campaigns...which explains why we keep getting speeches and horrific policies.

Obama is giving a speech now on passage of the extended benefits bill.
He is whining that people need the extended benefits, as they are unable to find employment.
[To Clueless Obama: Why aren’t you developing the jobs you promised the various stimulus packages would develop? Then, the extended benefits bill would be unnecessary.]
