Skittish Employers squeezing the worker says Obama

I still can’t get over this comment by Obama about squeezing more work out of the work as being a bad thing… it says a lot about who he is and what he knows, he said…

Despite the progress we’ve made, many businesses are still skittish about hiring. Some are still digging themselves out of the losses they incurred over the past year. Many have figured out how to squeeze more productivity out of fewer workers. And that cost-cutting has become embedded in their operations and in their culture. That may result in good profits, but it’s not translating into hiring and so that’s the question that we have to ask ourselves today: How do we get businesses to start hiring again?

Why are businesses still “skittish”… could it be the taxes he is or wants to raise on those making over $250,000.00 which catches a lot of small business that file as a S-Corp? Could it be the fines and cost looming over their head if this ill conceived healthcare plan passes? Could it be the looming Cap and Trade (Crap and Tax) that is on his agenda… he knows nothing about business, nothing! Obama doesn’t reality that a lot, dare I say most mom and pop business make over $250k… now understand they don’t pocket $250K they net that amount, their year end gross might only be $20-$30K if that… it’s takes money to make money and Obama wants to take what little money small business has left away and this will, not ‘might’… WILL result in more unemployment.

Then he said the “looses they incurred in the last year” is the root cause if this modus operandi. Gee that wouldn’t be the housing bubble created by the likes of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the march in line Democrats would it? It just caused banks to fail and the market to tank and the resulting bailouts started by Bush, voted for by the Democrats including the then Senator Barack Obama and now Obama ask about the looses they incurred as if he didn’t know? Perhaps he doesn’t seeing how he knows nothing about business.

Then there was the statement about employers ‘figuring out how to squeeze more productivity out of fewer workers’ … I ranted about this yesterday and it still flies all over me today… it’s called production efficiency Obama! But instead of me explaining it all over again I’ll offer up a cartoon from 1949 that explains it will… it would be Obama good to watch it!

And that’s how it worked in 1949 and still works 60 years later… it is the very thing that has given America the highest standard of living in the world, yet Obama doesn’t understand it. And still Obama complains that cost cutting has become embedded in our culture?? Well it’s embedded everywhere but in government where the concept of cost cutting is alien. I honestly can’t believe this idiot made it to the White House, he is clueless… I first thought that he was smart, just wrong but anymore… I don’t believe he is smart I believe he is a economic idiot, total clueless to just how business and private industry works.

Then he went on to say that – that may result in good profits but not in hiring… excuse me who is making a profit? Obama has a serious problem with profit and profitability… to hire more worker to produce the same amount of products that could be done with less and to eliminate profit for a zero sum gain is nothing more than socialism. You’ll stagnate your economy and business will no longer care… gee didn’t we see this is in the USSR? Soviet cars were a joke, soviet planes fell out of the sky and they were decades behind America because they had a redistribution of wealth economy and mentality.

That one paragraph that Obama said yesterday is likely the most revealing and most troubling thing I’ve even heard him say… it was a window in to just how totally clueless he really is in regards to business, so it should come as no surprise he knows nothing about creating jobs and now he is running around acting like 10% unemployment rate is something to cheer about!
