Excellent post.

BUMP!

No. I take full responsibility. It’s all my fault.

Thanks for the post. I was planning to open a small business to supplement our retirement with, but I see that I could hardly hope for it to be profitable, and might even cause us to lose our retirement..although it will probably not be enough to actually live on!

PING!

Don’t know why anyone would want to be in business under the Obamanation if they could retire and play golf.

IMHO while you’re busy shrugging, Atlas is going to take all of your former customers. :)

Nobody wins by quitting.

Ever.

Boy, this strikes close to home. I used to made a good living writing construction loans for new homes, remodels, owner-builder projects. Sometimes these loans would take a year to put into place. Despite the nutty federal regulations, I loved my work.

I sat by and watched as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac agressively entered the sub-prime mortgage market, and I was naive enough to scratch my head and say, "Gee. The U.S. must be doing pretty good if we're able to loosen lending guidelines like this."

I have no idea what this industry will look like two years from now, and for me, that's no way to build a future. I'm out, and whatever I do I'll be lying low.

Wait till January and February numbers come in. They will scare the bee-Jesus out of all except the over educated Democrat Marxists who will rub their hands with glee at the sights of millions of so-called Americans throwing their children's liberty at their feet for some food stamps.

Get ready for the new underground economy. Maybe more people will squeal out illegals (why waste your time with Booosh at the helm?) as they see it as a way to cut down on the competition.

I suggest we all go on strike. Refusae to pay taxes and close down all the factories and stores, truckers should stop trucking. Let’s see how the elite college professors,politicians and retired terrorists run the economy.
