Nobel-Prize-for-Economics-winning economist, Paul Krugman, said this in a recent column:
…businesses aren’t holding back because they lack confidence in government policies; they’re holding back because they don’t have enough customers — a problem that would be made worse, not better, by short-term spending cuts.
Really, so what did the first businesses do? They had no customers at all. OH yeah, they got clever and worked out ways to attract customers with the resources they had. Sorry, Paul—you’re just adding to the problem when you carry on with the same old rhetoric. Businesses that can’t find enough customers are businesses that need to adapt or fail.
Your attitude suggests businesses are victims in this. There is no “right to exist” for businesses. Adapt or die.
All Obama or any politician can do is help America be an environment that encourages job creation. We need to cut businesses off from any incentives at all at this point. No more tax breaks, no more bail-outs—besides, they shouldn’t *need* incentives to invest in the American people, the greedy bastards. IT’S YOUR HOME COUNTRY, ASSHOLES! INVEST IN IT!
OH, here’s one thing Obama can do: ban outsourcing. That’s right: BAN OUTSOURCING. Force ALL companies based in America to hire AMERICANS ONLY. Any company/politician/lobbyist that tries to fight this should be labeled “anti-American”.
Problem solved.
Of course, not Obama nor anyone else in the USG will have the spine to even suggest this. Sad, really.
