Wow, they're actually threatening to staff an Administration with competent people? That's gonna take some getting used to. Except Mary of course. She's scary.
 
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!


Give it a rest people, the world is not going to end when Obama takes office. The Rush Limbaughs of the world screamed the same thing back in 1992. The Democrats cried about the end of the world and many left wing celebrities claimed they would leave the country back after the 2000 election.

Some of you may see an increase in taxes, some will not. But in 4 or 8 years they will go down again. And 4 or 8 years after that, they may go up again. Just part of a cycle, don't have a stroke over it.
 
Do you own property you plan on selling?

Do you own a small business on the side?

Some of us do... Do your research of what he really plans and how he's going to pay for it. There's a REASON every bank in the country is scrambling to offload their foreclosed property.

My best friend is a tax attorney. Her clients are scrambling to make MAJOR changes to their portfolios, put investments in to S-corps, etc, etc, because of what the incoming administration is proposing. She's not an alarmist type of person, but she's telling me to be worried - she's never done that before.

I hope he's not successful in all his bullsh*t programs he wants. You can kiss a lot of American jobs goodbye if he is. Reinstating a lot of retreads into his cabinet will do nothing but help push those programs through Congress and the Senate. Those people are old-school, have a lot of people they've allied with, and things are going to change...

I just don't think you're going to like the fallout.

Yikes!
 
Lear is 100% correct. I bet anyone that unemployment more than doubles after obama sticks it to us with out of control spending and taxes.
 
How is this any different than what we've had for the past eight years?
Well, let's see here:

Financial meltdown of the credit markets with bank greediness in issuing loans that never should have made it to closing, a catastrophe in the early years that was unforeseeable, combined with out-of-control energy price speculation results in loss of jobs and economic downturn.

Complete turn towards socialism, redistribution of wealth, doubling or tripling the number and payouts of government aid programs (yes, he's said that), socializing health care (which will rape the medical community like the aviation community has been the last two decades), and capital gains taxes that will make medium and large businesses take even MORE of their production jobs out of the U.S. and into foreign countries, much less make them want to INVEST back in the U.S. markets.

Yeah, there's a big difference. One is just crappy timing and the general ebb and flow of the economy, the other is deliberately setting on a course that will slowly screw up many, many companies and, as a result, employees of those companies, not to mention increasing the federal deficit trying to pay for all of it.

You're going to get change alright...
 
If you are going to bash Bush for everything that is bad then you should credit him for what went right. The unemployment rate during his tenure was at one of the lowest levels in our country's history.

Those jobs were bought on credit (federal debt). Now we have fix the long term problems of short term policies.
