Really! Maybe a little research would help some prople from making a fool of themselves by stating things without any data to back it up.

"The Home Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer, today reported third quarter of fiscal 2011 net earnings of $934 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $834 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2010. For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, diluted earnings per share increased 17.6 percent from the prior year. Sales for the third quarter totaled $17.3 billion, a 4.4 percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Comparable store sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were positive 4.2 percent, and comp sales for U.S. stores were positive 3.8 percent.



Do you want to retract your statement?

What matters is that the OP's opening post nailed the reality of these haters of Capitalism that are in DC and the White House, currently.
Business has GOT to plan months in advance and those in DC made darn sure that they shot their mouths off with yet another supposed plan every few weeks, as soon as they got into power. They changed their minds but in reality probably just ramped up their confusing rhetoric fully knowing what they were doing.

Keep Business guessing, wondering and unable to PLAN, period.
