Yay! We just have to hang a few weeks longer. About a week after Republicans get in power we'll be on easy street again. Corporate taxes will be lowered which will provoke them to hire hordes of people. Soon everyone will be clicking their heels and smiling again...and thanking the Republicans for a great job.

Since 2007 the economy has seen a recession under the dems control of congress and now we are heading into a double dip recession thanks to the dems spending and getting nothing in return.

Thanks for all those jobs and record foreclosures, bankruptcies that was suppose to be stopped if we allowed the idiot in the WH to spend money we do not have.

Now he wants more to help get it going? When it did not work the first time?

America knows who cannot run a popcorn stand without making it go bankrupt. It is the way the dems operate. Spend tomorrows money today!

Remember the liar in the WH saying he was going to run Washington on a budget like we have to our households? Guess he lied on that also.

Dems are toast, they screwed up and you know it.

Obama has been a gift that will end liberalism in America for good.

An economic recovery is detrimental to the Republican goal of creating a aristocratic society. I expect the unemployment under the Republicans to be over 15% if you count the people that would be kicked off the unemployment insurance roles.

I also expect the Republicans to get us into a disastrous war with Iran and possibly Pakistan.
I expect the republicans will cause nothing but harm to the USA. I wonder if people realize that hurting Mr. Obama is futile. However, the number of people voting to hurt him if they succeed, will only see destruction for themselves.

But enough people will vote upon the Republicans' promises. Who cares about the USA? It's the profits of corporations that matter most.

What talking points do you know top tell us how small businesses will continue to not increase their businesses as long as they don't know how much taxes will rise in January? Surely you know that some of them are incorporated and I just don't see you people talking about them, only huge corporations do you talk about.

The real problem will be the 1.2 trillion in borroweed spending that we need to start bring down. To do it its going to take cuts like europe si doing now. Investors basically have to have confidence the the soundness of the paln to bring it down, If they do not tehn you will see less investment and less job because they know that taxes will be rised eventaully. That effwects thier cost and competivieness. Instaed they can invest in a chepaer palce to do business which some call outsiurcing but if you loo at how global business is that really isn;'t true anymore. In many businessses the growth market is not in the US at all.

That's why just electing Republicans is not going to change much
we need to elect conservatives.

If the Rs get majorities in the house and senate, and deliver on policies that reduce government spending, the debt and support economic growth, and if they can get them through Obama without his veto, how long do you think it will take for the economy to turn around? Specifically for the unemployment rate to fall below 6%, foreclosures to drop and housing starts to take off?
probably about a year to see much real change, then it depends on getting rid of some of what the Democrats have already done.

You are so sadly misinformed...! Obama is a corrupt, socialist SOB, and the sooner we can rid the WH of scum like him, the faster the country will recover...!
You need to see the real facts, they are playing you for a fool and laughing at you..

Nothing will turn around until Americans are put back to work, I don't think thats going to happen no matter who's in office, I hear help the small buisness owners and thats all good but the truth is small buisness will not put all the people back to work, we need large buisness and lots of them.
