Job Cuts in 2009

[Big_Saw]

When are you running so I can be sure and vote for you.

LOL...if I ran, assuming I could even get nominated...I'd be shot quicker than you could say "freedom"....the powers-that-be would risk losing ALL their leverage over the folks, and I'd also be requiring public service to be voluntary.....absolutely no pay....that's one of the requirements of statesmanship, if you ask me.

Yup...you'd never get to vote in that one....lol...

If I were King....there'd be a bounty.....and there'd be armed patrols of Guardsmen at every border and coastline while conducting their monthly and yearly training exercises, along with deputized Minutemen....with orders to shoot, if resisted...The rules of engagement would not apply as far as being fired on first....halt and surrender, or be destroyed. Now that is security.

I would also utterly financially destroy anyone convicted of knowingly hiring illegal workers. I would have their assets seized, liquidated, and included in a tax refund to tax-paying citizens....

I would make English the only official language of the U.S. and forever prohibit the printing of any government literature in any other language at taxpayer expense.

I would also repeal the "anchor-baby" statutes...if your parents don't/didn't have the right to be here, neither do you.

I would be an iron ruler in this instance....but my unemployment rate and tax rates/spending would probably be at a 5 star rating.....as hard-working, patriotic Americans, I think we deserve no less for our money.....

'nuff said....

There was a Drivers License examiner who "fell in love" with a Hispanic male in Winston Salem. They got together and she started letting all his IA buddies in the NC license system. They don't know for sure how many she did. She did get caught, but the damage is done.

She should be sentenced to a life of serfdom to repay her debt to the State's taxpayers.......

I mean what part of illeagal is so hard to understand?

A bounty would be sweeeeet but you know there's gonna be some law against that too.WhyTF could we not send them home though.

I had to renew my DL a while back and there was an immigrant trying to get one.The lady told him 2or3 things he would need.He looked at her like she was stupid,sat down and got his pic taken in the form of a DL..What a damn shame, no insurance,SSN or anything. I sure as hell would have been sent to get my chit together and come back.Noone wants to deal with them so they just give them what they want to get them outta the way.

[Big_Saw]

Its that way now.
God bless Bush and his border patrol.I think that says it ''patrol'',should be Border Guards or Border Protector .
Bush basically patted the back of all those who had ''illeagal'' immigrants hired and opened it up so all the folks from South America could come on in.

I'm for a bounty on IAs, myself....I could cuff and dump at least 100 a day if I were allowed to and rewarded for it.....say $100 a head? Seems high, but think of how much each one costs us in medical, education, welfare, corrections, crime, etc.

I hope we're not hanging on the hope of infrastructure jobs putting millions back to work. The jobs will get bidded out, the big boys will get the contracts, and the "laborers" will be speaking Spanish. That's my opinion.

I have gone through 4 earth moving companies, each one closed its doors. You work a year then your pay check bounces but you try and stick it out to be a team player but then the next one bounces so you move on. At the next place you work a year and then on a monday you show up at 6:00 am to start work and the place is dark and padlocked. 2 of the places were family run and in buisness 60 years each. The work sites dried up and the ones that did not well they just went bankrupt so they don't pay the company that your working for for all of the work and equipment and well that when the slippery slope starts, then the company can't pay you. Lucky for me I have a wide skill base and my own blacksmith shop but even the part time job I have just cut every ones pay by 10% but by taking that pay cut you helped 40 other people keep their jobs. We as a nation have not come close to hitting bottom yet.

I'd like to know more about your blacksmith shop. Turning a glob of metal into something useful is fun and rewarding. I'm a metal forger, but far from being an actual blacksmith.

People are selling out to communist in order to put a worthless dollar in their pocket...Treason??? Isn't that a capital offense?? Should be..again.
Nothing leaves the country except jobs and money..All we get in return is worthless crap from China or Guadalahara and beyond!! Our land fills are full of worthless commy garb and now were broke.I still can't find a parking spot at Wal Mart,its been 3 years!!!!!

The thing I always say is if you WATCH the big companies laying off people or selling their companies it only means they know what is coming!! They are either leaving the country or just closing down. Mergers equal be prepared!!
I doubt I need to say it but it's gonna all get worse, way way worse. To all who get obama jobs be prepared to work to stay alive.....

Obama jobs remind me of all the jobs for infrastructure this country created during and after the Great Depression, and even though the work was not wasted, when the road was completed or the dam built, the work ended. Obama's job creation is a temporary fix, IMO

I thought I read where Home Depot was eliminating 22,000 jobs, but I could be wrong. I've looked at a ton of figures today.....

They reported 7000 on the local news but that might just be the first round of layoffs. Thank god my company and store is running up 7% in sales and profit this year.
