because deregulation is what got us here in the first place, and if they weren't busy stuffing moneyz in lobbyist donations in their pockets instead of doing their job, to represent the people that elected them, we wouldn't be in this mess.
if only someone would come along and get rid of the lobbyists influence!
too bad the one candidate to do that was fooling us all.

my old company, small paper company, only remains in business to keep people working.
owners really are a stand up people, they used to make a fortune until one of their products failed so instead of getting rid of an entire plant worth of employees, they move a product line to the US from China.
they lost a bunch on the move, but everyone kept their job.
now, they barely make a profit, and luckily the people realize that. when i left they were talking about unionizing...they would NOT have jobs if they did.
it's a shame there are not more companies like that.
habberdash! if they were smart they would have actually made money so they could make more jobs later with their enormous wealth. now the ungrateful and entitled employees want more! they want to drive the company into the ground with their selfish union. i never read a better example of why expendable nameless faceless foreigners make the best workers.

Because politicians constantly use it to attack one another. As long as they promote the idea that the other side is ****ing things up, people will be influenced by it.

Yes, true. It is sad that sheeple are dumb enough to believe it. bush lied and dragged into a civil war we should not have been part of so it was easy to promise and deliver reversing as much of that mistake as possible. But now, they think republicans, of all people, care about the lower and middle class enough to fix anything except tax cuts for the rich.
Sheeple, lol.

You answered why they lie about it to get votes. I asked why are people so stupid to believe something they have no real control over.

The government can set their taxing and spending policy and make it more than temporary.
One of the big reasons that businesses are reluctant to hire and start spending money again is that they are unsure about what the federal government is going to change next and how badly it will affect them.

Straight off Fox News. It's such a cop-out that's ridiculous.
There are always uncertainties in the business world. And the business world has gotten to enjoy things for a long time so of course they're always scared they will get their cake taken away. Lowest tax rates in ... ever while using cheaper labor from other countries equals record profits for large corporations.
Michigan just gave businesses here 1.3B in tax credits which of course sounds great until you realize it's mostly by taxing pensions. We can start taking bets on how much of those tax credits trickle down to the middle class.

Yep, that is what I was saying. Their profits have just skyrocketed and still more jobs leave. Jobs leave, incomes leaves. There is nothing Congress or a President can do that will change this if they are [not] creating new US jobs right now.
