Realistically, nothing is going to improve for the companies. It’s too bad, but that is what the voters imposed on themselves.

[Jack Hammer]

The chief reason why the nation’s economy is in the sh*tter - and the reason that no “stimulus” package will ever succeed in fixing the economy - is excess government regulation of businesses both large and small. Until this problem is addressed and fixed, America’s economy will continue to slide; and no socialist government in the history of Mankind ever deregulated anything. Which is why the United States is screwed. Our government Masters, the nation’s commissars, refuse to stand back, relinquish control of literally everything under the sun, and let the people go about their affairs unimpeded by our legions of government an*l-retentives. If they were ever to allow such a thing, the heads of all congressmen and women would probably explode, and Obama’s whole trip would instantly become redundant.
