Most businesses on Wall Street are bringing in record cash - banks alone bonused out 1% of GDP to a few thousand individuals. Thank you taxpayers.

Ed Schultz and Sen Harkin are here saying it's big business that are in collusion with Republicans who's MO is to strangle economy and jobs until they can get their point men back in power...e.g. Republicans. With a shitty economy we tend to blame incumbents so watch out who you vote for.

Ed Schultz is a bigger blow hard than Rush Limbaugh, and he makes even less sense.

All they have to do is obstruct enough to keep us on the course they charted under Bush, and they don't need a majority to do that. I'm not accusing the Republicans of hating America, but they sure don't seem to love it enough to help a Dem president and majority to fix it.

The only things these people love is power and money.
It's both parties also.
Retirement funds and tax money should never be in the hands of private interests. I think people will learn a valuable learn from this- key thing is standing united and not getting suckered into hating each other instead of the people that have wrangled us all.
It will be good to see some justice come of all this mess.

I'm not talking about market - I was asking about if there is any legitimacy to collusion going on to stave off hiring to hurt dems?

It's probably BS like posters say just found it interesting is all.

I'm pretty sure I'd hate you with or without politicians encouraging it.

I would not mind their $ if it came legit, without tax payer bailouts, without lobbing congress for no bid contracts/kickbacks/monopoly powers and so forth. Basically there is nothing free about the market to the top, free market is only for you and me.

That's because nobody's suggested anything yet that will fix it. Everything the dem's have done has been to make things worse, not better.

I wouldn't put anything past Wall St or the repub leadership. I figure the latter would eat babies onstage if they thought it'd get them a majority in congress...

The best part in the link is the next segment with Cantor and Grayson. The most amazing part of it all is that Repubs are decrying the efforts necessary to remedy the mess their policies created, acting as if it somehow weren't their own policies that created the problems in the first place. They have no answers for unemployment, no answers to contain the greed of wall st, no answers wrt anything, just derision for anybody who might...

Cute, but I don't buy that and I bet neither do a lot of Republican congressman. They are scared to death of a win in the Dem column after their lovely running of things during the Bush years. It would remove any doubt that their policies are bad for the country and will be the nail in their platform coffin if things do indeed get better under Dem control.

The best part of being the Grand Opposition Party is that you don't have to present solutions, you only have to oppose.

Companies Piling Up Cash But Not Adding Jobs

Corporate America is hoarding a massive pile of cash. It just doesn't want to spend it hiring anyone.

Nonfinancial companies are sitting on $1.8 trillion in cash, roughly one-quarter more than at the beginning of the recession. And as several major firms report impressive earnings this week, the money continues to flow into firms' coffers.

Yet all the good news from big business hasn't translated into much promise for jobless Americans, leading many to wonder: If corporations are sitting on so much money, why aren't they hiring more workers?

All it takes is 40 votes in the Senate to stop anything, and Repubs currently have 41. They've set new records for denying cloture since becoming the minority. They've probably filibustered potty breaks...

They've gond from the party of bad ideas to no ideas to just plain No! in a rather short span of years...

Or are you saying that Dems should invoke the nuclear option as Repubs nearly did over a handful of ideologues Bush nominated for the federal bench?
