26 billion, 787 Billion, bailouts, Debt, Jobs…
I guess the latest gimmick from the Obama Administration is the 26 billion bailout of the “Teachers.” For the CHILDREN….How do we pay for it? Well of course we hike up the fee for LEGAL IMMIGRANTS….What? Uh damn.
So let me get this straight. We must, right now because it’s an “Emergency” pay 26 BILLION dollars so NO TEACHERS lose their jobs this fall. And since the American people are finally waking up, the democrats feel they need to pay for it, and to do it they get the money from LEGAL IMMIGRANTS? We don’t think about a way to make ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS pay for some of it, since they are the benefactors of the teachers too…We don’t take the 26 BILLION from the unused stimulus fund, we don’t cut some of the pet projects of the liberpukes in office to pay for it…Oh no, we go after those PRODUCERS from other countries, that are actually valuable to our economy.
Okay if you see that as ridiculous then check this out:
Why do you think Obama and Pelosi had to do this RIGHT NOW? Let me help: We are about in the middle of August, Schools are headed back to operation after summer break. IF the states had to start cutting teachers, what would those teachers do immediately? That’s right ladies and gentlemen, file for Unemployment. What does that do to the August unemployment numbers when they come out in September? That’s right again, make that 9.6% rate jump to about 9.7% if the layoffs were as severe as Obama said. What month is September? That would be the start of the serious campaigning to keep their jobs in congress…Get the picture now?
So instead of figuring out WHY the private sector is NOT Hiring, lets just keep taping the broken well for more imaginary money, to give to the “Children”…HELLO BARACK…It’s time to wake the hell up! IF companies were hiring, the state would have revenue to pay their teachers…
Why are Companies not hiring?
Why I’m Not Hiring
When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally’s pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits.
It’s a long article but worth the read here’s an Excerpt
Employing Sally costs plenty too. My company has to write checks for $74,000 so Sally can receive her nominal $59,000 in base pay. Health insurance is a big, added cost: While Sally pays nearly $2,400 for coverage, my company pays the rest—$9,561 for employee/spouse medical and dental. We also provide company-paid life and other insurance premiums amounting to $153. Altogether, company-paid benefits add $9,714 to the cost of employing Sally.
Then the federal and state governments want a little something extra. They take $56 for federal unemployment coverage, $149 for disability insurance, $300 for workers’ comp and $505 for state unemployment insurance. Finally, the feds make me pay $856 for Sally’s Medicare and $3,661 for her Social Security.
When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally’s pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits. Bottom line: Governments impose a 33% surtax on Sally’s job each year.
Anyone with half a brain would see the real reason states are running in the red is because of state and federal regulations and taxes. I work for a very large company, and we are running short, staffing wise. We could use a couple more folks on the floor and there are sales to justify it, but there is nothing on the horizon that says it will be profitable to hire someone. The added productivity will not cover the cost of the employee, so what do we do? we learn how to do more with less and someone out there doesn’t have a job.
Come on NOVEMBER!!!!
