That is right. Real unemployment is about 17%. There is nothing but skin and bone now at the companies, but they are not hiring becuase of Obama and the demoraps threatening them with fines, punishment, and new taxes.

Exactly. Almost all of the companies I deal with have cut personnel to the point that they're barely able to operate with who they still have. NO ONE is brave enough to hire on new people right now because they're too scared of what's ahead, and because they have little to no faith in Obama's programs bringing about any improvement.

The Obama Administration has completely and totally f**ked up this economy, but good.

My theory on why the stock market is up: Companies can be profitable with relatively far fewer people. To make MORE money, they have to hire more. They won’t do that until they’re turning away business if they don’t.
