Where Have All The Jobs Gone?

Sep 04, 2011 11 Comments by Rippa

Funny how Obama shows up and he’s blamed for all the “uncertainty” in the bussiness world. Yeah, nobody’s hiring because the president’s a Black man; hell, I thought he was supposed to bring back slavery? Sounds crazy I know, but what other reason is there? I swear, I’m so sick of hearing this narrative touted by right-wing talking heads in the media while Wall Street sits on $2 trillion and banks refuse to extend credit to small business. Gimme a friggin’ break; ‘I’m not buying it!

Big Corporations are forcing the job market to crumble. Trillions of dollars they are withholding that could be used for hiring so that it can filter and stimulate our economy. It would seem that they are for helping this nation, however, big corporations make more money keeping the economy held hostage. They make more money even if the working class did not. By keeping us needy so that we spend all that we have each pay period is their strategy until we are bled dry. I AM sure they are having a good ole time laughing at our soon to be miseries.

  Kinda funny, if you watched the video attached I didn’t hear to much “blame whitey”, were a few different factors mentioned, most of them didn’t have a race attached to it. Since corporations tend to be amoral and impersonal focusing just on the skin doesn’t make sense.
  
  But I guess if it made you feel better you can keep on with that, love you cut and pasting skills though. May be a job out there for that

    BINGO! when a reasoned response is nowhere to be found, you can count on a conservative (and their black and brown codependents) to play the race card by accusing OTHERS of playing the race card, even when race isn’t the core issue.

      It’s how their taught, they say personal responsibility but the core of their argument is “Blame Other”. Other normally being GOVERNMENT, MINORITY, FEMALE, LIBERAL, or anybody besides BIG BUSINESS or CONSERVATIVE NON CORE PRINCIPLES. I mean if the government has grown under every administration SAVE JACKSONS, and all RESPONSIBLE leaders have had to raise the debt ceiling a time or two to make sure that in times of need our country didn’t strangle itself where is this crap about “spending cuts only” coming from.
      
      Government is the “Spender of Last Resort” until business stops being gun shy, the government isn’t required to make a profit. Their revenues come from:TAXES, PERMITS, FINES, DUTIES, TARIFFS, and CONFISCATIONS. No matter what lie a business tells you, they are under the jurisdiction of the government, each level. And FEDERAL LAW TRUMPS ALL, we are a bunch of conglomerated city states without the Federal Government to weave us into a nation.
      
      But don’t tell conservatives or Tea Party folks that, they get all mad and pissy that AMERICA is the country, not just some title given to a select few.

        Isn’t the money these corporations are hoarding originating from federal printing presses?

        If it ain that’s counterfitting, which carries a huge fine, prison time, and many other punishments.
        
        This is why corporations aren’t people, even in times of crisis they worry about PROFIT not PEOPLE

  This response was the equivalent of a child covering her ears and chanting, “I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!”

Simply put EVERYBODY has to decide to rethink how this economy is going to work going forward. I’m glad businesses have 2 trillion dollars on the side, thing is if they don’t start hiring workers here they won’t have it for long. We all have bills to pay and if you don’t keep income flowing in your savings will dwindle, so while I feel for those autoworkers making half usual scale if GM has kept their pricing on that car in line with what they are paying their employees if nothing else a GM worker can purchase said GM car and keep the cycle going.

Obama is in the White House now, things have gone slower then expected people will focus on him because welp Bush for the most part has stayed nice and quiet. Unlike Clinton who had successes he could show off people weren’t too happy with Bush when he left, I say in another 10 years he might be less polarizing a figure but for now Conservatives thank him for staying quiet. Cheney may cause a problem though, that ego maniac is about to start reminding people exactly why this mess started in the first place which is about to start reducing conservative wiggle room, especially after the Tea party botched the debt debate like that.

Outsourcing does not work if the place you are outsourcing to is in another country, if your foreign workers can’t or won’t buy your products you don’t save a dime when you can’t sell it. A company can short term profit itself right into bankruptcy, and unfortunately if business won’t spend SOMEBODY has to, usually it’s government but the Tea Party is in town now and they don’t seem to understand that.

Essence Atkins Blasts Tyler Perry Over Kim Kardashian Casting Tyler Perry’s work is a lot of things, and polarizing is chief among them.

Baltimore City Jail Inmate Impregnated Four Corrections Officers

There’s a saying that goes something like, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Well, I suppose being a corrections officer with a vagina in a city jail full of men can make one quite powerful. I would’ve never saw it that way before reading the following story out of Baltimore. But, considering the city and its allure [...]

The Tsarnaev Brothers Being White Hasn’t Thrown a Monkey Wrench in Islamophobia

Okay, teachable moment aside, the truth is that in America much to the disadvantage of dark-skinned people, the Muslim religion is used to denote one’s race. Why? Because, well, Jesus was a Jew and of course everybody knows that Jesus was a white man, right? Never mind the fact that both religions are spinoffs from [...]
