In seriousness, I am in big business....we have little confidence in knowing how Washington Policies are going to affect us - hence the wait and see approach to hiring. If we believe it is going to cost us more b/c of Govt imposed rules, Helathcare, etc. we would rather not hire now. Recall, private business number one goal is to make profit, and hire the most talented folks to do that. If Govt gets in the way, then Bus has to cut cost, through outsourcing and decreased in costs (less hiring). You can agree or disagree with this, but this is the way things work...so anti business policy, or even the perception will not help business hire..
OMG this President is a disaster, he should learn economics !
I can't wait for 2012, and I'm not a big fan of GOP....
Barry Hussein is the "Paris Hilton" of government. He was handed over a company with zero training or experience and thinks things run themselves by him just being there.
Why does anyone one still believe the 9.1% horse hockey? The real rate is closer to 20%. When people run out of UE they are remove from the "unemployed" list and statisticaly cease to exist. They still don't have a job.

Private sector up 83,000. Seems to be slowing, even the Repubs are starting to realize we must invest in jobs in areas that do not exist right now. May be time to have a WPA type program to rebuild Infrastructure until innovation can create the future jobs. The Country is in trouble and need the Repubs to engage in trying to resolve some problems, rather than perpetuating them.
Actually admitting that the dems don't have the answer? Perhaps there is hope for you yet.
The economy is entering into a new recession it appears.
I'm going to cut down on spending until things get better, I have no choice.
You and millions of other people, which IS the problem.

It's pure tried and true Keynesian economics. As you said, "its not rocket science" -- (at least for some.)
You haven't discredit anything.
Keynesian doesn't work.

Obama's policies, his regulatory heavy handedness, his unpopular, unsustainable and unconstitutional obamacare is weighing heavily on business AND individuals.
Ok, I'll bite. What policies of the Democratic Congress caused the crash?
It must be a world record, because Dems took Congress in Jan 2007, and the economy begun to collapse only a few months later. Yes, I would also like to know what policy from those few months triggered the collapse.
