unemployment rate up.. hmm i wonder why?

maybe cause they raised the minimum wage like they said they would..


(o sh*t i never seen that coming!)

 

if you're into buying stocks, nows a good time to buy them.. probly alot of bear markets along with a liberal leadership.

but i'm new to it all so thats just a guess

 

why would you buy stocks if you predict a bear market coming up? you'd lose money.

 

i know. i mean you buy them once the bear market hits, then when conservatives get into office the stock price rises

 

Ya think that Countrywide cut up all these jobs cause "they raised the minimum wage"?

 

no, they cut all those jobs because they were stupid enough to give joe blow a loan even when joe blow couldn't afford to pay for it...

 

no not countrywide. what is your analysis of why the real estate market sucks right now?

i could think of it, but i just do not feel like thinking right now. and i know someone's gonna come in here and post a funny little comment about how i don't ever like to think. no.. just not right now

 

yeah i did keep hearing about this whole government interference thing with the real estate.. hmm

 

you are right. they were just being greedy

 

exactly...when it comes to money, people will do anything...the problem is that it is not the right time to sell a house, but a great time to buy...that makes the seller's market more saturated than usual, and leads to job cuts when properties are not being sold.

 

And they also gave a lot of people jobs........BTW Countrywide is not the only subprime lender.

 

You go ahead and buy up some "cheap" houses there smart guy. We all know that the housing market is going to rebound big time....LOL.

 

which also means there are more job cuts to come.

 

Exactly.

 

Welcome to the credit society. Buy now above your means, and spend the rest of your life paying for it.

 

Is this how it is in other countries other than the US? or are we alone

 

if i were ever to run for pres., which would be a horror story for some of you.. i'd lower the minimum wage to $2.

if you think about it, what would be wrong with doing that? actually put that scenario into play and think. unless there is something wrong, correct me, but what sense does it make to raise the minimum wage?

not only does this increase unemployment, but it is allowing the uneducated to make a lavish living off of unskilled labor. which lowers competition and standards and pretty soon we'll all be living by the same paycheck scrubbing the floor at your local mcdonalds. minimum wage was never meant to live off of.

democrats are wise in who they pick their voters. plant the seed in the uneducated.

 

I never said they were? are you trying to pin me for something I didn't say?

My wife and I did buy a "cheap" house...our house averaged 18K less than the other houses in our neighborhood...so when the market comes back in a year or two, we might look at selling and turning a profit...if nothing else, we will have built some nice equity in our house and can do remodeling if we want to.

 

The President doesn't have that power. Run for Congress.

What sense does it make to lower it?

I think you are coming at this from the incorrect angle.

What wage restrictions do is restrict the market, harming both the worker, the employer and ultimately the consumer.

The welfare state and government entitlements are as responsible for unemployment as the minimum wage. Remove the ability for people to be unemployed and still enjoy some standard of living, and they will start their own businesses if they cannot find jobs.

This crazy concept is the foundation of capitalism. It's called a free market. Social welfare and fixed wages are communist ideas.

 

Pin you? What are you a donkey?

Good job, now all you have to do is wait for the market to rebound to cash in....LOL
