Why is that? Because like thousands of other McJobs it costs them to purchase it and it's too expensive.

When you make $9 per hour $500 per Month seems like allot.

You are either ignorant, lack of knowledge, or just like to spew garbage.

I know many part time workers at HD. They are retired from other jobs and just want a few days aweek.

They already have medical and turned down HDs offer.

What is your main point? Are you against all part time work?

Or just against business in general?

Government does not create private sector jobs. Never has and never will.
The only jobs Government can create are government jobs. To pay for the extra overhead, they have the need to generate more revenue.
Look we and our tax dollars were forced to spend 2 million per government job created in LA Government, in their pork bailout.
Can I have a say here? My vote, is the only say I have.

Couldn't Rep Ya, but you are 100% correct

People who create JOBS are not villians or monsters, which is what obama has portrayed them to be.

How could the clueless, incompetent boob THINK that all his anti-business rhetoric, all his demonizing of CEO's and economic sectors would NOT make a horrible impression in the very people he needs to get this economy moving.
He is an economic imbecile

How could you get this simple FACT wrong?

Because he isn't wrong... The stimulus has created over 3.3 million jobs.. Sorry many of us like real facts, not the Bull$ hit to support a dimwitted view via Faux News. expand your resources a little and start seeing a new reality.

U.S. Job Creation Improves Slightly in August

Can you imagine the disaster we would have had with McCain? no support for the auto industry, no support for the housing... If you think this economy is bad. imagine how it would have been under the REpugs...

Yeah we know. You guys are the party of "we might be bad but guess what might have happened if those other guys were in office".

Kinda reminds me of a quote from R. Kennedy:
Quote:

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
