Unemployment shot up to an official 9.2% as Barack Obama failed to magically create millions of new jobs via Twitter the other day. Therealrate, depending on which real rate you like, is somewhere between 11% and 25%. So, no jobs for anyone, ever. The stock markets reacted by briefly going into freefall, but then investors realized it doesn't much matter to them if one-tenth or even one-third of the workforce is unemployed forever, so stocks recovered most of the losses by afternoon. Twitter, meanwhile, is now valued at something like SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS, so hooray?
But those tax cuts could end some day. If they use their cash reserves on normal payroll and have to maybe pay $3.25 in taxes in 2017, where would the golden parachute and executive bonus money come from?!? Tragic and disastrous stuff.
You forgot OKIYAR rule. Also skin color rule. Also Reagan used his charisma to make Repubicans stop blowing him and "raise the damn taxes you cocksuckers."
This is like Christmas in July for the Repubicans. "Obama's high taxes are killing jobs." Which reminds me that back when it was Christmas in December the Repubicans got Bush's tax cuts extended. That worked out real well, didn't it?
I think we're seeing the first vibrations of the deficit default earthquake. Businesses and markets are uncertain if, when or how the debt ceiling will play out. Inflation, high borrowing costs, lack of consumer confidence, slowdown as spending decelerates -- all those risks are on the horizon. I wouldn't hire right now either.
I upfisted for you.
The invisible hand is giving us the finger.
Having been unemployed for a year and a half, I'd give my left nipple for ONE part-time job.
I want Kortney's job w/ veggies.

you'd think Twitter would be hiring.
Excuse me while I go to the bathroom and show my toilet how Trickle down economics works.
Trust me. That actually doesn't work as well as FlownOver makes it sound.

Kortney loves her job. And I love Kortney.
