If for example a company is a $1 million a year company and they decide to go from 5 employees to 7 than they have just increased their work force by 40% and in turn should be rewarded with a tax break of say 2-5%. It might not equalize on the balance sheets of companies but it does induce some sort of hiring and the added assets to the company would play out for future productivity.

Adversely the government would end up having a net wash, because while this means they’ll collect less in business tax revenues, they won’t have to doll out as much in unemployment benefits as more people will work saving them in cost. As more people start working again, the government will see an increase in revenue driven through increases in the amount of income tax collected.

Ask the average unemployed person here would they rather sit at home pulling in 25% of their previous earnings or given a chance to work again I’m sure a good fraction of them would love to be back in the workforce. The rest I would go out on a limb and say they may be trying to milk the system but they probably would find a way to milk it regardless.

From simple tips on driving safer to storing things in the right places and not leaving cabinets hanging safety is all around us.

And for any company looking for an incentive to start doing safety with their employees I’d say at least once every quarter. Remember that pulling employees away for an hour and a half is much more productive and cheaper than payig someones disability bills and hiring a temp to fill in while they’re out on leave.

I find learning about safety very educational and regretably they never had a safety course in college so you are kind of put into work environments and left to figure it out yourself what’s safe and what isn’t. For anyone who treats their office like they do their rooms this could mean potential hazards for fellow coworkers. So this is also a risk to other people’s safety.

So have at it. Be safe everyday!

Right now the way I see it you got a lot of pissed off doctors (the suppliers) who went into pile loads of debt to get their degree and start earning money way later in their lives than their peers. Most doctors did not come from families who already had much wealth but rather because they heard of the luxuries a doctors salary can provide them so they took on mountains of loan and debt to get them through schooling for years. They come out and find out insurance companies put caps at what they can make and than realize that they can’t even afford to pay their loans unless they initiate more tests on patients and offer up bad medicine to get paid off by pharmacies.

Than you have the patient (the consumer) who needs health care related services yet because doctors have become so adamant about making money they forget that the patient often times cannot afford care to begin with. The insurance companies have so many checks and balances it becomes a headache to even make a claim for the patient going in because he already has a headache so whatever processes they need to take financially just get compounded by the headaches they already have from their illness.

Now unlike other industries like automobile, real estate, and credit cards I would venture to say that 100% of the population in America will agree they will not be happy if all the doctors and hospitals vanished tomorrow.
If automobiles vanished we can all ride bikes or public transportation, so why did the big three get bailed out? If home builders no longer were around, we’d simply rent or buy homes that are already built. Who needs to have a brand new never lived in home anyway? That’s a want not a need. And if credit cards were gone than we’d go back to paying with cash, or now it’ll be debit cards and putting things down on lay away right?

But what would we do without doctors, diagnosis our own illnesses using wikipedia? I doubt that would be helpful.

For this reason I’m saying we should subsidize the students education. I would much rather have my tax dollars go to those college students who will study doctor school and pay for their education than GM.

They’ll pay us forward in the future by providing reasonable and affordable health care to us. They will have to figure out who can go to school and have a system in place to pick those most knowledgeable and determined to become doctors. Than the government working with insurance can set predetermined prices for various levels of health care and hopefully being that the doctor isn’t riled in debt til they’re 60 they will give us proper health care and we can afford it with lower payments.

Seriously? Is that how you would want your bank to charge you. Because they decide to max out your account with the dishwasher purchase first than those tiny mcdonald meals you got for the kids get over drafted on.

Here’s the source of the news, those kinds of business practices make me sick.

Ask any one of my friends and we will all be able to tell you just how hard it is and was to locate employment opportunities.

Back in 2001 when we were all in our first years at college I would remember how difficult it was for any of us to find a job at the mall near our school. We would all go to the different stores together to grab applications and not surprisingly a lot of other people were doing the same.

At that time no one called us back for interviews either and we resulted in all working for a restaurant that we had a good standing with the owner.

This is the same scenario playing out in my head again as I read this morning about how the unemployment rating has gone past 9.5% or so, and I’m thinking to myself things didn’t just get worst overnight. Things were pretty bad for years.

In one area of town where I work gas is about $2.99 for a gallon of regular. The same gas grade near my home is only $2.79 at this moment.

I don’t work downtown or anything but the two neighborhoods definitely have a big income disparity. The gas price seems to be higher in neighborhoods where the average income take home is higher.

I always thought this was due to land rentals being more expensive at the higher priced gas stations. Is this true? I’m sure it has a lot to do with the prices but could it also be that they are trying to charge more to those who can afford to pay more?

Either way I know I only get gas near home because it’s cheaper and I’m not going out of my way to save money either. Does anyone else go to cheaper gas stations located in another district of town?

The article states that new homes are actually being built these days are better than they were before.

But I can’t help but remember that there are currently homes in Florida that have rotting walls and decaying appliances.

Homes seem to be built even quicker than before. They’re able to put a home together in Almost under a month from the foundation to the carpeting. You would think that with the higher prices for homes that were being asked for homes would be higher in quality but the opposite happened. As more builders realized the big money in homes, they began to build faster rather than better homes.

Quality homes were built on bricks and wood. Not the cheap dry wall that homes are built with now. Also being earthquake proof helps.

I don’t think this article is all that is hyped up to be. Probably some media spin tactic to get more of the glut in home supply sold.

I wonder what my share of these two auto companies is? And when do I get to cash out. Because if it weren’t for the cash for clunkers program I’m sure they are stocks that are sinking ships barely floating. I want out.
