Corporate America stepping up!

Yeah, there was money thrown at a few companies for lithium production facilities, most of which are bankrupt now. They recalled the Fisker batteries they were producting, so I don't blame a major for going with them.

And here I thought there was going to be some good discussions about moving forward and reducing the debt in this thread, but nope same ol bitch session, pointing fingers about the past. Silly me...

His point was that is still happening. Those jobs are still going to go overseas, so it just postponed it. Now, the economy is in a bit better shape now and it can probably absorb those job losses better than it could have at the time of the bailout. Was it worth the billions we spent? We'll never know that one way or the other probably.

Saying that is getting a bit head of ourselves, i think. We'll just have to wait and see where the holy job creators take us!

regardless of who wins the election i really do hope people realize that NO PRESIDENT, no matter what they say on the trail, can turn around an economy in one day (as someone seems to think they can) one week, one month or even one term. The massive shit hole we were in, everyone should be much happier that we are on the upswing now. 2008 was very stressful for a lot of people, unemployment is down, manufacturing is now on the upswing, employment numbers are moving up even more, etc.
If the members of congress stop playing filibuster everything and put their differences aside, they should be able to get something done sooner rather than later.
I know this may sound like an obama nut swinger, but i dont think a change in presidents is what we need, we dont need someone to come in and "shake things up", we need someone to give constant and steady results and finish what he started.

They have also come out with commercials stating the same fact.
