My guess would be it's more related to Americans, especially those who shop at stores like Payless, cutting back on their spending and only buying what they need right now. I would also guess, that when they do start spending, that most will again seek the best bargains no where they are made.

He's responsible for his failed economic policies that's leading to more and more businesses going under.

I don't know why you want to argue with obama - HE'S the one who said if he didn't turn the economy around, he'd be a one termer. HE'S the one who said he wanted the responsibility, to give it to him.

Mainly overpriced junk shoes, no wonder they are having troubles.


The best place to buy cheap, sturdy shoes in without a doubt Walmart.

Why do you omit our GOP congress now? Back in 2010 you went to great lengths to argue how much of government they took back. Now you downplay their role and claim it's not all that significant. Will you step up and put your money where your mouth is in regards to taking responsibility? Or is the GOP congress immune from of your daily talking points?

I guess what's good for Obama...is only good for Obama huh?

Funny you say that since the opposite is happening. Since the downturn in 08 when Bush was leaving, corporations have grown lean and mean. In fact they are sitting on TRILLIONS of dollars in reserves right now. They are recording the highest profits since we've begun to keep track of it (60 years or so.)

Furthermore your argument contradicts your other claims. You constantly claim that firms won't hire because of Obama, insinuating that growth can't take place because of this uncertainty. You do this while acknowledging their record profits. In the next breath you claim that they are going under because of Obama.

As usual you seem to want it both ways: This time claiming Obama is the cause of corporations going under, while simultaneously saying they are also sitting on records profits and not hiring because of him.
