You ain't seen nothing yet in terms of unemployment. Kasich is going to lay off 20,000 state workers and another 20-30,000 teachers, police and firefighters will lose their jobs as "aid to cities" is slashed to almost nothing. The economy is dead, and Americans are in an anti-stimulus mood - in fact Americans are going to vote in politicians who will work strenuously against increasing economic activity. I predict a national unemployment rate above 15% by 2014.

ANd to top it i=off you try to sacre people and trust this people are already scared as 1 out of 10 people ar elosing their homes and more to come as more jobs are lost. For your prediction of jobs it is already there thanks to you dems. The one now counted are only the ones getting a check from JAFS not self employeed or the ones out of payments. SO try to lie again no one is buying the DNC Soros lies.

Why are you predicting such doom here in the future? You keep tell us that we need to vote Dems out in November. The way I see it, if your predictions are correct, with Kasich in office and the republicans in at all areas of government, we should probably be at 2.0% unemployment by Christmas. Are you telling me if we elect republicans its only going to get worse?

Guess we'll all have to natter on even harder about Glenn Beck or Obama's Muslimness in order to make the economy improve. That's how it works, right?

I would say it's more that business owners are taking advantage of the fact that there is a "lucky to have a job" attitude going around right now and are finding out that they can cut jobs and have less staff do more work for the same, maybe even less money. The result is more money for them, less money for the middle class.
Everytime I hear Kasich talk about cutting taxes to make things easier for business owners to increase their payroll, I think "Yeah,that's a nice idea, if you had honest business owners that were more interested in creating jobs then lining their pockets". We've seen it over and over again...BP, Enron, banking... Once you get money, the only thing you begin to care about is KEEPING that money and making more of it. Americans aren't satisfied anymore with making $75,000. They want 100K. Those with 100K want $1 million and they'll do whatever they can to get it. Now, small business owners aren't rich by any stretch and we need to do what we can to help them. But blindly cutting taxes to help corporations "bring more jobs" to the market is foolish because, like I said earlier, all they'll do is cut workers, overwork and underpay the ones they have and pocket the profits. As long as "making as much money as you can" is the goal for CEO's, the middle class will suffer.
