My mechanical contracting business has less than 6 months to live. I’ve been saying that for 3 years now, but this time its different. I am getting out. I’m not dumping any more of my own money into it just to keep it going. As soon as I get caught up on paperwork, I’m going to start selling off assets and winding down. Too many customers can’t pay me. Too many times I’ve settled for less than I should’ve. I know it tough out there for everyone and people are losing jobs. But, now its my turn. Obama and Bush (YES I BLAME THAT PIECE OF SHIT BUSH TOO) really did a number on this country. At least my house is paid for.

I am probably in disagreement with most freepers since I think we really do need to get out of these damn wars now. We are broke. Bad things happen to nations that continue to fight wars and continue to provide social services that they cannot afford. Just look at the weimar republic for an example.

Agreed, we cannot police he world, heck, we cannot police ourselves. I think we need to watch Iran though but we can do that with airpower if need be, take out their nuke factories with a B-52 strike for example. We need to get a grip of entitlements, make a list of who really needs them and take care of those and cut the rest loose. Lighten regulations and taxes to bring jobs back.

Let's face it ,we might end up in a war anyhoo, a new civil war or revolution, call it what you will. Let's face it, we are living in an 1860 nation in a 1939 world.

It makes me sick that we have a majority of sheeple that voted for that Marxist in the White House. Unless they repent and see what they have done (I do believe in redemption if it is sincere), I do not consider them Americans nor my friends and even see them as the enemy. My heart has hardened so much. If I truly wanted to say what I think of all of this, I'd be thrown off for profanity and other things.

My parents are 74 and 73, Dad and Mom, respectively, I fear for them with Obamacare. I'm 45, I fear for myself and when I see young kids, I fear for them as well. G.W. Bush had his problems and looking back, no prize, but this Kenyan Witchdoctor we have in the White Hut is the worst. Even Woodrow Wilson was better, as terrible as he was, at least he had one redeeming quality, when Pancho Villa was a problem, he did send troops to the border.

We are in a mess, folks.

My local PC repair shop is on the ropes too. He figures another 2 weeks of flat sales will close the doors. There’s nothing left to cut.

I despise Obama's totally unrealistic and destructive economic policies. With that said, however, I believe there is plenty of opportunity out there for new businesses - maybe even TONS of opportunity.

For example, as the dollar declines exports should increase. Meaning that there is opportunity in manufacturing and bringing new manufacturing facilities online.

For 30+ years we've been an economy based on disposable goods. That trend is about to be reversed .. so I believe there is opportunity for mechanics of all types, also blacksmiths, welders, electronic techs, etc.

Sure, some old debt-based businesses are going to fail, but new profit-driven businesses may actually thrive.

Basically it's the Law of Unintended Consequences - in this case maybe something positive might come even though the commies in the White House intend otherwise.

One can only hope!

most freepers I imagine would rather we become more isolationist....no one wants war and for sure no one wants war that we don't intend to win...Viet nam, for one, but Iraq and Afghanistan will turn out to be no different once we leave...

have to feel bad for the Kurds...they seem like the only ones that appreciated us...

I completely agree with you, and I’m sure many others do as well. Best of luck.
