    I know people and this is what they tell me. Same thing when Clinton was gonna put more cops on the street. When asked, a local Sheriff said, "Why would I hire someone for a year, only to have to let him go after one year!" They are sitting on cash, you said it, they will continue. Not knowing tax brackets, 0bamacare, etc, things coming into play. Many major companies are into remodeling and updating stores, not many new stores.

    Companies not hiring until they know the cost of Obamacare

    Nope.

    Were you impressed with the blog from the girl "Yael" at the Israeli kibbutz? It was an opinion with no facts, citations, or data to support it.

    But . . . you only read the title, didn't you? :lol:

    Interesting concept floated by Warren Buffet this week …… somehow this makes too much sense for those inside the Beltway ;)




    Warren Buffett on debt ceiling
    >
    >
    > Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best
    > quotes about the debt ceiling:
    >
    > "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law

    > sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election
    >
    > The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only
    > 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it.
    > That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
    >
    > Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to
    > become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

    > 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
    > Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
    >
