Have to slightly disagree with you there Perry. I wholeheartedly agree with most of what you say, but Ceo's, corporations and employers in general don't creat jobs. If they did, they would be doing it right now instead of seeming to lay people off, but it never happens that way.

What really creates jobs (or un-creates them) is consumer demand. Ceo's, corporations and employers in general merely belatedly attempt to fulfill the demand, if they can make a buck doing it. I say if because there is absolutely no altruism ever involved; just profit. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I do wonder where some of these "Ceo's, corporations and employers in general" were thinking the money (aka the demand) was going to come from when they fought legislation restricting moving production overseas. Near as I can see, I guess China will be the next country to buy the stuff, dang it.

I don't care what the Rush Limbaugh's or Michael Moore's say; I hope this mess gets straightened out and soon. The parties can fight over credit later.

In April of last year I put my own money at risk and created 7 new jobs, 5 are still employed.

You got the nutts to do the same?

Sorry to hear you had to lay two off, there Scott. When the economy, and demand, comes back up you can hopefully rehire.

I one time had to lay off 12 guys when the economy tanked when Carter/Reagan were in.

Unfortunately, I held on to them a bit too long, partly out of the goodness of my heart, but more because I couldn't believe how quickly the house of cards, and therefore profits fell. I ensured that every single one of them had a different job before I gave them notice.

We lived on $15k that year and, for one thing, my kids had to drink powdered milk which they didn't like or deserve. All the bills got paid, but it wasn't easy. But a man's word is his word. Deserving has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I got the nutts.
