New Small Business Survey

So much for Obama's stimulus:
US Chamber of Commerce Member Survey on Small Business Hiring:
The coming year:
64% say no new hiring
19% cutting jobs
12% hiring

Where are the jobs going to come from under the Obama regime? Where's all that hope and change? No real surprises given Obama's policy wrt to business and the demonization ans class warfare being waged by this feeble administration.

Come on, we all know that the Chamberpot of Commerce ponied up a hell of a lot of money in he mid-terms to defeat Democrats, I would not believe those sorry assed whackjobs about anything. Of course the fact that most CEOs are Goopers has nowt to do with their decision not to hire.

Do you like any business association? I can't see why they would not be truthful with their questionaire results. I would think that more positive numbers would be better for their organization. Are you subscribing to the notion that there is a conspiracy not to hire in order to undermine Obama's reelection? I can't understand why some people think of labor union associations as good but business associations as bad. They both just promote their respective causes. Obviously, I think unions restrict freedom whereas commerce associations promote it.

I dislike any organization that tries to impose its views on the elections. The Robert's Court of course has screwed that up, why anyone in their right mind can equate money with speech says a great deal about our educational system. The C of C refused to say where all its funding was from during the midterms. That coupled with the fact thar Donohue is barking mad pretty much covers it.

BTW I think you are confusing 'freedom' with 'license'.

Visions of walking along with my sword attached to my waist in the finest period clothing when a chamberpot's contents lands on my head. The streets must have been quite foul back then.

BHunter:

You know -- a lot of folks here believe that all of biz is actually coordinating a conspiracy with the single purpose of making the Dems and Obama fail.. Gee -- help me out here..

A story about a corrupt cabal of parasitic incompetents that capture the top powers of govt and suddenly captains of vital industries start dissappearing. I think it was a book. Maybe a movie. No- a book that sold more copies than anything except the Bible.

And I think that most lefties considered it a totally improbable fantasy of greedy supporters of Capitalism.. NOW -- it seems that story is their complete excuse for screwing up... Don't tell me -- I'll figure out the title eventually. Written by John Galt?

This story is now gonna be the top DNC spin angle for 2012. "Those greedy bastards are hiding themselves and their wealth to punish the rest of us"..

Well Duhhh... I get briefed directly from the Galt Gulch every morning. It's located directly below the ChamberPot of Commerce Building in D.C.

BTW: The reason you escort a woman on your RIGHT side in public is to make sure that the Chamberpots land on YOU and not your woman.. But we all knew that.. ((Or is it your Left side?)))

John Galt is a fictional character in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

And then there's the other right-wing fictional hero Gordon Gekko. My cousin even named his business after that a-hole. Which demonstrated the difference between this generation of Republicans and the more traditional Republicans.

My Uncle saw that sign and calmly told him;

"Take it down."

"Why?"

"Because that character symbolizes the rotten side of business. The side that doesn't give a damn about people. Take it down."

I miss that generation, and I pretty much despise my own.

Depends upon which side of the street and your direction. A gentleman always walked on the outside so that if passing vehicles splashed dirty water he took the brunt.
