As a small business owner, I see the storm on the horizon. Almost daily, someone asks if we’re hiring. But due to the increased costs of employees and not knowing if I’ll be able to pass these costs on to customers, I can’t afford to hire now.
But recently, after greeting an applicant with ‘How you doing?’, he replied, “Better than I deserve.”
Now, that guy is working, but he doesn’t have a ‘job’.
A few of us pay him for various tasks, but if this turns around we’ll probably be fighting to keep him permanently, if he doesn’t turn this process into his own business.

He’s clearly a Dave Ramsey listener (that’s a Ramsey response).

Rush may be the ideological leader of conservatism ... but Dave Ramsey is the living model of applied conservatism. Rush has the ideas right — but to emulate his life will send you in the wrong direction. Ramsey leads a life worth emulating.
