Unemployment back above 9%

The simple fact that the Dems in Congress have a greater per-capita net worth speaks volumes, unless it's inherent in the Democrat party that people aren't people...

I know, I know, they CARE more But then I look at their actions in power. NAFTA, 'Bush' tax cuts, well they did carve out a little exemption for UAW golden health care packages...

So, when did you start bashing success, Pete? Maybe the difference is that the Dem party is full of successful business types and the GOP is full of miserable ne'er-do-wells who always blame others, (the government), for their personal ineptitude?

Careful. The favorite donkey company right now, Government Motors, is headed by a Repub.

The guy that floated the concept of an additional $1.00 per gallon tax on gasoline in order to promote the sales of smaller cars. We're at $4.00 a gallon and GMs vehicles still aren't selling? Perhaps, he ought take a look at his products.

I believe that emeging economies like China, India, Brazil and South Korea have put the brakes on job creation in America. This will not be changing for anytime soon.

What? you didn't get the memo: "It's all Bush's fault." The Democrat's entire platform seems to be blaming someone else for someone's failings. The evil business man, the racists, the haves, the polluters, the church, etc. The only thing they don't blame is themselves and their incessant whining and regulations. At some point regulations and laws and rules become worthless as motivators of behavior without a powerful tyrannical government. Once a government loses support of the governed, that government should be replaced with one more acceptable.

AFAIK the polling stations will be open in 2012.

The very recent Toyota/Honda declines (since April) are due largely to the quake and supply chain problems. An event that gonna make US autos look pretty good for at least a couple more months. The Big 5 market share graph(s) only add up to about 50%. That means that they are ALL losing ground to the rest of the field since 2001. But foreign sales for Ford and GM are making up a lot of that diff.

Damn, I'm having a bad day. I can't see and I forgot entirely about the Japaneses earthquake and its effect on sales. This despite that I've seen the Nikon lens I want substantially increase in price which I knew was caused by the quake.
