Let's Talk Business

Hit Pig [scoffer] asked:


If they have to spend 2 trillion dollars to stimulate the economy and try to create jobs, as they say, Why is there no money in either package for small business?

Small business creates over 80% of all jobs in the US economy, so why don’t they spend at least 80% of the stimulus on small Business loans?

Try this…. 350 Billion in remaining TARP funds,, redirect them, and take this 900 billion pork bill presently being passed by a zealot lead liberal posse in congress, put them together that would be 1.2 trillion, spend 80% of that on small business loans, with the stipulation that for each 100k borrowed, the business has to hire one person. If they can’t expand to hire someone, then they don’t need government money,

This plan would create 10 million jobs inside of six months, and an additional 12 million jobs over the next 5 years…
Petals, wouldn’t a good job bail you out?

Joe asked:


Is he stupid or something? It’s these wealthy corps that provide millions of jobs for Americans. If the wealthy company recieves tax breaks, they can invest more in their inventory and businesses. The suppliers make more money, the suppliers buy from manufactuers, and at the end of the day it’s a salary for Workers.

King’s son asked:


I personally like the republican idea to give tax break to big corporations to create more jobs and better economy for every one and the Idea of being pro-life, but what if despite all theses tax breaks, big corporations take their businesses oversees and instead of abortion in home , see many of our soldiers and other people on this earth being killed .

Kyle asked:


I know everywhere I worked people would rather call out sick, gossip all day, and play on the computer. If somebody is a hard worker, they either put all the work on them, or get mad if he says anything about them not working.
Don’t tell me lazy Americans are not all over the workforce. We know no work is getting done, but billions of dollars are paid out in salary. Couldn’t the lack of productivity be the reason for the economic downturn?

m y asked:


would it be good for thoes who are waitresses, dish washers, factories works and so on, to have tax breaks, beacuse they have jobs that may be considerd undesirable by most?
in a way they are what makes the nation work.

BradR asked:


Higher prices. Soaring gas and heating oil. Lost jobs. Higher interest rates and penalties. Tighter job market. Higher unemployment rate. Loss of income from deployment to Iraq of family breadwinners.

Are you – your friends or family members effected by these things? HOW is it effecting you if it is?

What are you / they doing to cope with these changes? Suggestions for others?
