I think you are correct. We do need a pathway to the future so companies know what is going to happen in areas like taxes, etc. that effect them.

I think the number one thing the government could do ty help stimulate job growth would be to work towards giveing people some confidence that the government is going to stop fighting each other and do what is best for the nation. Its hard for companies to made choices about their operations when the government is so volitial.

Yes, employment has been the issue for some time. Obama used whatever political capital he had in the wrong areas - made the deficit worse while getting little done.
It would be interesting to see the government get some input from business leaders (especially from small businesses) to see what they need to get job growth moving. Some of this will be pushing back on some regulations that hamstring businesses. Would be interesting to see what the government would be willing to do to stimulate jobs.

I fully agree. We should use doing their jobs as a primary criteria for being re-elected.
I'm neither Republican nor Democrat. I'm independent. And I am so annoyed . that elected officials are too worried about keeping their jobs to actually DO their jobs. Yes, get off the bus. Yes, stop whining. Yes, stop vacationing and golfing, and appearing on talk shows.
GET TO WORK ... So the rest of us can, too.

Tenacious, I like to call it treading water. Doing what you can just to keep from drowning, even though it's pretty clear you're not making any progress toward the shore.

I agree it's a serious situation. The problem is people can only cut so much. At some point, they have to maintain the basics. And if they have insufficient income to do that -- to pay the mortgage, utilities, student loans, child support, taxes, insurance, and a car if one is needed for whatever jobs they have and/or money for commuting -- well, then we have a problem.
So sell, You say. Or maybe you would say that in a normal situation. But not today. Who is buying? And at what price? If we sell, do we lose all the equity? or try to keep scraping buy in the hope that prices will eventually trend up again?

Many of those concerned about job loss have seen their expenses rise, and just one in three consider their savings sufficient to weather possible downturns, the survey found.
This is really serious situation. I guess best way to face this problem would be to change their routine life style. People should stop un-necessary spending so that they can weather this possible downturn.
