Obamacare is going to kill off small business.

That's the whole point.

Damn, that was depressing as all Hell.

Wow, just watched the whole interview and found no comfort. He is certain things are bad and getting worse.

May the MSM suffer greatly for what they’ve done to this country.

They were informed. You have to realize those who voted for him would do so again. They don’t care what he says or what he does. They just hate republicans and Sarah Palin.

Basically I’m saying they’re stupid. Tell them about Hitler and they’ll say “That will never happen here.” And once they’re in the FEMA camps they’ll say “This ain’t obama’s fault. He loves us.”

They were informed. Insufficiently. Not by their employers, not by their clergy, certainly not by their favorite TV shows. (But then, their favorite TV shows have been Dancing with the American Idle and Monday Night World Series.)

When it comes around (the loss of health insurance) the propaganda machine will find someone else blame, Bush, Wall Street, everybody else’s greed, most of all. The idiots will buy it, doctors will suffer, and... quit.

People wouldn't have voted for this if they weren't lazy and ignorant fools.

You win idiot of the day award, but I'll answer you anyway.

0 by government fiat, which is what Obama Care is doing.

0 any other way either. Oh, if customers killed off some small businesses because HD and Lowes are superior places to shop, then that's another issue.

FTR: they have helped create jobs and businesses since small contractors do zillions of dollars of business with HD, buying and selling, to their mutual beneift.

You should go back and learn some basic economics.

A lot. And widows can’t find appropriate help from this sector. They depend on small hardware stores to assist in their keeping up their homes.

Home Depot workers will say yeah it’s over there. Mouth breathers.

Anyway, they can cry me a river. They’re so on board with HD+S rights now they’re saying to themselves, hey how the f was that good for business. Been boycotting them for years over that.

It’s happening everywhere, while the receivers of received wisdom tell us to learn “basic economics”. I’ve just seen a film about a ghost town in Germany, whose economy was completely, entirely destroyed by such big box stores. Hey, but drive by a HD and you’ll see how many jobs are created there for illegal immigrants.

Ah yes, the master plan! Finally get Government involved in every aspect of out lives (go slow but sure)... We are the idiots (especially the GOP) for continuing to go along with the slow motion decay of America.

Way too late to turn to the “other” party as they are just as compliant in the outcome. We have no party and have no future!

We have been taken over by the insiders (Democrats by name - but Socialists/Communists by their actions) slowly to be sure but coming at a faster and faster pace. You will recognize the results by what the Media reports. Leftist revolts and demands!

Are we doomed, probably but still hope for enough that recognize the slow but steady pattern of Government slavery. I sure don’t count on the GOP to save us but so far no other party has arisen to protest. Sorry, we have no saviors in the GOP. They are “finger in the air” folks that don’t understand freedom. Just read today’s news!

You might think that I have given up on our Republic and you may be right but I certainly have given up on the Republican Party!!

You win the ignorant post of the year - and totally missed Bernie’s point. BTW, he’s been out of HD management for many years, is richer than you’ll ever dream of being, and is not asking you to “cry him a river” - he’s talking about how he and three others took HD from a SMALL business to a big business, creating many millionaires along the way, and how Obama Care won’t allow that any more. Grow up
