The way things are being done today - The only way to end up with a small fortune is to begin with a big one!!

I shouldn't say things like that. Sorry.  The only thing wrong with the government is it is being run by the government!

Just my opinion.  I could be wrong. L

That's the current government's plan to increase the number of small businesses...

First, you start with a lot of big businesses, then you tax and regulate them until they've become small businesses... Voila, number of small businesses has been increased!  2funny

Like bragging about an increase in new jobs by including the Census Takers who's new jobs will last like how long? A month or two?

Do they get to file for un-employment then?

Or how about saying that unemployment numbers are down because workers have become discouraged and have stopped looking for jobs!  tickedoff

Yeah or the part about "we lost 100,000 jobs but that's okay because we created 100,000 new jobs."

The jobs we lost were decent paying, skilled manafacturing or technical jobs. The jobs created were more McDonalds workers and other entry level, non-skilled jobs.

Total unemployment is not the much-publicized 9.7% or whatever.  It's more like 22%.

That's part of the problem right there.  Any one person can say he's insignificant.  I can't wait to see what all those insignificant individuals do to the political, and as a result economic, status quo in the next elections.  Come on November! 

I should have 6-7,000 more miles on the Rumblebee by then.  Now it's Valk-related.
