Rabbi is a joke, so I will treat him as such.
So you are "disagreeing" with "facts"? Hmm.
You are really overreaching with this cap and trade thing. The threat of legislation? Come on. That is ridiculous. What imminent threat are corporations facing exactly?
And show me proof that ObamaCare has caused significant uncertainty.
You can't just state that your opinion is "fact", Billy and expect that to be the end of the discussion. Sorry but that's not the way it works here. I disagree with you on what is a fact and what isn't. I've asked you to explain what YOU think has prompted the lack of hiring and instead of doing so you make a vague statement that I've overreached on "this cap and trade thing". In what way have I overreached? Would Cap & Trade legislation NOT have added billions to the energy costs of companies across the US? Would that NOT have affected the bottom line of all those companies? Do you really not understand that something as crucial as the cost of energy could determine whether a company decides to build a plant here as opposed to some other country that won't have those high energy costs?
But it isn't my opinion. It is based upon data, which is the closest to facts. Your opinion is null if you cannot support it with data of your own.
What do I think is keeping corporations from hiring? I think it's because it is cheaper to create jobs overseas.
I will concede on the cap and trade discussion if you can show me proof that it is currently imminent legislation.
Do you have proof that it is cheaper to create jobs overseas?
If that was the case, why was the UE rate through most of Bush's term at or below 5%? Did companies discover off shoring in the last year of Bush's administration?
Do you ever think about this before you write it or is it just automatic with you?
