It does not take a crystal ball to pick the winners and losers just follow the Wall street money, as I noted before the 2010 elections the {R}s were going to gain because the money shifted in their direction. If it is not Obama/Romney it would be the first time that I know of where Wall street backed the wrong horse.

I think it is a indictment of the American people that keeping on delivering the POTUS and congress on the wishes of the banksters and Wall street. We have fell for it everytime and then wonder why our country is such a mess.

They didn't get what they wanted when Andrew Jackson was elected. That time the people had enough sense to elect a president who was going to be GOOD for the country.

Our country is the better for it! We enjoyed 80 years of prosperity after Andrew Jackson destroyed what was then the equivalent of the Federal Reserve Bank (The Bank of the United States). After he did that ,Americans standard of living zoomed upwards and he was the only president to ever pay off the national debt!

Like Ron Paul, Jackson had a spine!


‪Andrew Jackson Kills the BANK‬‏ - YouTube

Watch the 10 minute video. You'll see lots of similarities between then and now.

Lol, is that their job? I though it was to maximize shareholder value. Silly me!

Oh, I get it. As long as they donate money to lefties they are looking out for what's best for the people.

Yeah ,which means the economy will get fixed...

On the Wednesday after the first Monday in November of 2012.

Until that date the rest of us suffer, then companies will start hiring workers again.

Remember how those hostages weren't freed until the second Reagan took his oath of office, same thing. Companies hold us hostage until they get a Republican in office, they will refuse to reinvest the profits they have been making for the past couple of years, and will certainly refuse to hire any workers until then.

You see...They are already doing it. They are already saying that the recovery failed, not that the economy failed but the RECOVERY failed. They of course blame the democrats, in the meantime companies sit on record profits and cry wolf saying "they won't hire anyone until everything is straightened out." Sure, this explains why there is no job growth.

Lol, another one who doesn't understand where these profits are coming from!

Let me help you, increased profits are coming from increased productivity not increased demand. Corporations are agnostic, (as we can see by their political donation patterns) they only care about growth. They will hire when the demand is there.

They need to make sure their insurance policy is up to date. Who knows when they will create another economic collapse and need the American people's money to recover?
