Principles & Policy ^

This is a financial gamble and why it takes capital to do so.

One more point your comment spurs: Production takes place before demand is manifest. There was no demand for an iPhone before Apple thought of it, designed it, and spent tens of millions, probably more, producing it.

The consumers came after the fact. Try to tell that to Obama and expect him to understand.

When the the Democrat administration sucked all
the capital out of the market that stalled everything.

Manufacturing is very capital and equipment intensive.
You must have the machinery and materials before you
can hire personnel to manufacture things.

I see that you understand these things but most do not.

They think that government and the tooth fairy create jobs.
It takes money to make money.

Try expanding when there is no credit and all the banks
are operating under a letter of memorandum from the Federal Reserve.

I started to use private capital but they all went underwater.
Things are finally starting to loosen up but for the last
3 1/2 tears we did not expand because the market was depressed
and the capital was not available.

And even if you have your own capital, why would you bother using it if you expect its return to be taxed away by the upcoming fiscal cliff, a President who shows his hatred of free enterprise every day, and the looming health care debacle?

It's bad and getting worse.
