Buzzkill: Bad Jobs Report

[jms62]

Think about it. Democrat or Republican it doesn't matter. Business nowadays is about finding labor; all kinds of labor offshore for cheaper and cheaper rates. No amount of tax reductions, relaxation of regulations is going to change how corporations operate. And those of you that feel safe in your jobs or even have your own business well you are kidding yourself. As less and less money is available for the majority the less they can spend on any goods and services produced. Remember one companies wages are another companies revenue. You will be affected negatively it is only a matter of time. The only way to change it would be to regulate how much work can be shipped overseas and make it expensive when you do so. That can't happen because those VERY few that obscenly profit from it buy those that make the rules. They have basically checkmated capitlism as we used to know it and we are in a death spiral and those that think their party will fix it are simply whistling past the grave yard.

I agree, but ask yourself what has the current administration done to create any type of job growth or prohibit companies from shipping jobs overseas? Last I checked he made Jeffrey Immelt the jobs Czar. How many jobs has GE shipped overseas? How much money was spent to try and create jobs with little to no sucess? Heck Nancy Pelosi believes that unemployment compensation creates jobs. I guess things could have been worse without government involvement, but anyone who deems this administration a success in creating jobs or job growth is kidding themselves....

You missed my point entirely since you still are naive enough to think the Bloods or the Crips will change anything. I wish I were naive, it is better then the hopelessness in the way I see it. Jeffery Immelt as a jobs czar is a joke almost as bad as Mitt Romney aka Bain capital. Buy a company, fire employees, sell company... An equally if not worse person to be in charge.

I am not ready to throw the towel in yet. Yes all politicians are crooks and liars. Corporations are in it for the $ and will ship jobs overseas. We know the current administration's policies and what they have done. Will Romney/Ryan be better? It is yet to be seen, but your choice is to say we are doomed, stick with what hasn't worked or hope by some miracle that the GOP changes this at least to some degree. To me it is always the lesser of 2 evils.....

The big issue is the govetnment is in bed with big banks/ investment firms. These companies buy out all the major players of the industry slash pricing or do billing etc... and kill the mid level distributers. This in turn kills the smaller companies and all but haults start-ups. This is why the economy is dying. Big banks/investment firms are in the polititions pockets and are killing all but the biggest companies.

too true. and romney's position is to loosen bank regulations even more. what will that do??? we don't need banks running rampant again/still!! they need to put glass/steagall back in action.

and it wasn't that favorite target of dems, george bush, who signed that law removing g/s. that would be bill clinton. yeah, it's all bushes fault the economy took a sh!t.

but yeah, the real problem is that poLIEticians are in it for the money. and us middle class peasants aren't the ones with the money.

that is a fine line you need with banking regulation. Too much regulation like we have today and there is no risk taking in business or consumer lending. Too little regulation and we get what we had in the early 2000's. Dodd/Frank went way too far and is not helping the consumer at all just putting more money in the government and the banks pockets

They sure changed things during the last administration that's for sure. I don't think you will get many that disagree with you there.

So you are telling me something I didn't already know? Both parties/candidates are a joke. Tell us how the GOP will create jobs this time around since they lost Millions the last time they were in charge? Tell us how they will make it better.
