I hit just one for now the ATM blame


Obama Blames ATMs for High Unemployment

President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren't hiring is not because of his policies, it's because the economy is so automated. ... "There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers.

You have to realize that when the global market tanks, it will affect the United States. There is no other way around it. It is not the sole cause, but the international market, especially the European, has a DIRECT influence on our market.

Did you leave 'bad luck' off the list for some reason or does that go in the 'everything else' section?

Wealthy people paying more taxing still wouldn't fix the wreckless spending. Wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket. The class warfare zombies just don't get it. The government is the problem people. They don't create jobs. If they would just get out of the way the economy might make a small recovery. Instead.... They spend their time brainwashing the mindless sheep through the media, into thinking it's corporate greed that has us in the tank.

Obama Taxes & Income: President & First Lady Paid $453,770 In Taxes On $1.7 Million Income

I think other rich people laugh at Obama for revealing so much of his income. We all know the Bush family is full of oil money and revenues from the Rangers and a lot of other ventures. I recall an article on HW Bush where he had put all of his money into a blind and earned something like 80 million while in office.

Here is an older piece on the topic.

Presidential tax returns: Obama vs. Bush vs. Clinton- MSN Money

My wife's cousin is married to Richard Gelfond, CEO of Sony/IMAX, he claims about 13mill each year but I'm pretty sure he isn't paying 4 of it back in taxes. Nor should he in my opinion.

Back on topic, if you looked at our plant we have a couple dozen people who work the packaging line and about the same number in production. The largest group we have on site are the inspectors who inspect each vial or syringe before it leaves the site. During the flu season there were over 100 of these inspectors, now they are down to around 50 or 60. There is a machine that could do the inspections but so far it is only successful about 98.5% of the time and the human inspectors are over 99%. The rest of the work force is maintenance, QA Compliance, QC and support staff. So for a plant that will eventually ship out somewhere around 30 million doses of various vaccines we will never have more than 200 actual employees and never more than around 250 temp workers. If the machine worked a bit better then we would be under 150 temps. So, yes, in some respects automation and efficiencies have resulted in less jobs at the factory. However, given that this company (GSK) will ship over 100 million doses of vaccine in a year, there would seem to be an increased need for workers in the supply stream and at the clinical level.

Just like more ATMs means that more people need to be delivering cash and accounting the transactions, efficiency and automation don't take away all the jobs, they shift them to other sectors and functions.

Obama does. I wonder if he knows, that according to him, the economy really is his fault?

Of course not. It's all those other millionaires which are the problem. Much like how Micheal Moore is not apart of the 1%; he is not like the others in his heart, only in his bank account.

They have such a huge impact on our market because the culture of bailouts has empowered people like Jon Corzine to misuse clients money on retarded investments like high-yielding greek debt.

I would say that almost all of our gov't leaders being millionaires is part of the problem

It's not because they are millionaires. Steve Forbes is a rich man, but I don't think it would keep him from being a good president.
