Here’s what I wonder ... will these new employees get full credit for the quarters worked while the employer’s contributions are waived?

Dang. You could save a fortune just by firing your entire workforce and then rehiring them in April.

LOL, a friend of mine called me this morning and said he was thinking of firing his employees, paying them cash to do work on the side, then rehiring in April. I said, that’s a lot of work, he said but a helluva savings.

And why should I vote Repub ever again when all they do is show how they haven’t learned a thing? Keep it up RINOs and kill the party completely. Soon it’ll only be the Democraps and the TeaParty.

Yauh,

Scott Brown is a hero, give him time, he was only elected to stop Health care, he said he would vote with the Democrats from time to time, (after he sas elected of course) his hero and mentor is Juan Meek Cane. He drives a pickup, his daughter sings. (so does he)

That’s just politics........(Sigh)

The “stupid” party is the GOP. Democrats are the dangerous party.

The GOP still does not get it!

And neither does the newest member of Rinoville, Senator Benedict Brown!

Yeah, but you need to shut up. Republicans are better than democrats mostly, which they are for the most part with the exception of CIR and Cap & Trade and.......well I guess they are sticking with the opposition to Obozo on healthcare, as of today, that is. Kinda right?

Who will betray us?

I know.

And he is fading badly down the stretch.

He also voted to confirm Bernanke earlier this week.

“A lot of capital is toed up in the marlets as profit that people dp nopt want top take.They would sooner leave the stock and not sell it for a profit.Capish?”

Sorry, but that’s lame... Small businesses (the ones that employ 80%) are not listed on the exchanges and most don’t sell stock. There’s plenty of money to invest, that’s not the problem. The problem is that there is too much crap to put up with (including taxes fees and paperwork) and too little chance of making a profit. After all that, you have to compete with other businesses that hire illegals...

Brown’s senate office still not taking calls. They’re all toooo busy but I could leave a message.

Told him I noticed he was still being a coward and not willing to take calls from his constituents.

Elections are coming, the great meeting of RINOs and Marxists is coming soon also. We'll see how strong these limp wristed, spineless, career Politicians (Repubics) really are in front of the cameras.

They talk tough when they are at home but they get impotent as soon as they get back to the fish tank. (Washington)
