This article seems good but I don’t think it will last.
Half of laid-off workers finding new work — and many are getting paid more.
I guess I am a pessimist, but when I look at the next three years I do not see any indicators that this economy is going to get better. I place a lot of that pessimism on the current administration. If this administration continues to create a hostile environment for the small businesses in America, then this is going to get worse. I have two reasons for this pessimism.
First, we still have three and five year arm loans coming due and if we do not address those there is another wave of foreclosures coming. There seems to be a lot of action by the administration and private companies to stem the fallout.
Second, the current Healthcare reform proposal leans heavily on the small business to pay for their employees’ healthcare. Small business can only combat this with lower wages and putting the costs back on the employees. This will lower the amount of free spending that has been going around and there will be more large businesses closing stores due to lack of spending. Store closures will raise the unemployment and so forth and so on.
More taxes on the small businesses and people of this country will doom it to third world status. I know that’s extreme but the only way I see us getting out of this with our pocket books and freedom is to lessen the burden on the public and businesses.
Help me out with this. I want to see the sun through the trees. Am I wrong?
I am speechless. As an employer, this is ridiculous. As an employee, I feel a cough coming on … for a week.
