We've Got No Jobs In THIS Economy?

It's amazing to go into a business and find out that they're hiring. You rush back home to fill an online application (since 97% of all businesses refer to your digital application rotting in their servers for 60-90 days). You find out within a week that they're causing 1,500 people to lose their jobs.

I'm thinking, "That's funny......you guys told me you were going to be hiring within the next few weeks!"
What they always say: "Well, it isn't going to affect us!"


That's a bunch of hogwash! Wal-Mart announced last month that 4,000 people were going to be out of a job. McDonald's laid off 17,000 and might be calling back only 1,900 of them within the year. Caterpillar laid off 1.5 million loyal employees ever since the economic downturn, but has only hired back only 170,000.

So Obama was supposed to create jobs.......

This is what what's been done so far:

• First stimulus package and first minimum wage increase were supposed to help Americans to afford health insurance. Instead, when corporate America heard of this, they jacked up their prices to make living more difficult. This also caused 13 million jobs lost and only 1.5 million created.
• Second stimulus package was the TARP funds giving to the banks and the bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler. It just happens to be "Government Motors", as we speak. This caused another 3 million to lose their jobs, a bank selling out to another and within five years, those banks will have paid those loans out from their profits.
• Third stimulus, if it does go through by the end of Obama's term, will include the approval-pending healthcare plan and instead of the original $300 we got a couple of years ago and make that $3,000. Enforce a price freeze within 48 hours of approval and keep that in effect until every American has health insurance.

On another note, you probably don't realize this, but most retailers are making as much as 10 times what they pay for the item. You're stuck paying $1.50 for a tomato and they paid about $0.30 while you pay $5.50 for a box of cereal while they pay less than $2.00. Maybe our retailers should stop the madness of making us broke with your expensive foods (they're not healthy foods - that's pricing that Whole Foods dumps on their veg-heads)!

They say there's no jobs in this economy and yet, people are getting hired everyday with no notification in-store, online or in print media. All this in a nation with an average of 17% unemployed (or some too lazy to work) and over half of the states have unemployment rates between 14% and 22%!
