A great approach to the economic crisis

I got this from my daughter Sara. It's a letter she sent and I think it's a great idea.

Letter from the Boss,

As the CEO of this business that employs 140 people, I have accepted the fact that Barack Obama is our new President, and that our taxes and government fees will now increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for this additional overhead, I figure that the clients will have to see an increase in our fees of about 8% but since we cannot raise those prices right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off several of our employees instead. This unfortunate economic reality has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who will have to go.

After giving it considerable thought, this is what I did: I strolled thru our parking lot and found 11 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

Sincerely,

The Boss

Tough Decisions for companies

With the recession currently upon us, I have noticed how big companies (and little) are going about laying off people. The following picture represents how idiots at the company I work for, Gannett, are going about it as well.

Chris Dodd is a liar, if not outright, by omission

So, he finally is cornered like the rat he is. Who is responsible for this fiasco? well, first look to the banking committee chaired by none other than Chris Dodd and his crony, Barney Frank. Much of the problem with the "recession" they would like to pin on Bush comes from their incompetence with handling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which needed overhaul years ago. You have to remember, both are primarily controlled by the democrats. Republicans have been warning for years that both needed to be overhauled. Instead, the democrats said, "it's fine, nothing to see here".

Now amidst the AIG "scandal", it's finally revealed (and I already knew this) that none other than Chris Dodd had written a loophole in the legislation. Yet these are the people who are just beside themselves because of the "bonuses" that AIG is supposed to pay out. Watch this clip and just see how dishonest and a liar Chris Dodd is and has no business in government. These are the kind of people that we should not allow to be the dogcatcher!
