On this Day of Remembrance... another glimmer of LIGHT!

[healthmyths]

Watching the 9/11 remembrance coverage several of the firemen that escaped the collapse of the buildings were asked how did you get it..."we ran toward the light"..."ran toward the light".

And so the "light"... the light of economic growth the spine of America's strength small businesses that
came back over the years and struggling against mounting rules and regulations kept reaching for the light.

Here then is the light...

Small business optimism surges to highest level ever, topping previous record under Reagan

Note the Gigantic jump of over 10 points in one year... hmmm 2017....

Thank you President Obama.

Thank you President Obama.

Candycorn, you and I both know Obama will never get recognition from the Trump crowd. However, I notice that, according to the graph provided, the trend down began about '04 and hit bottom in '08 and then rising sharply in '09. It's been on it's way up since, with a few squiggles in '11 and '13 during Republican Congresses. I don't think anyone is fooled by this attempt to keep the roots of the upturn buried, even if they do proclaim it to the high heavens.

Optimism was down when the real estate market crashed.

Dems policies.....you can’t ask someone how they will pay back their loan? That’s racist!

No, I think this motherfucker is trying to say that you did.

Its a shame to cloak a post about economics in the veil of a 9/11 remembrance thread. But as we all know, Trump and his supporters have no shame.

To Trump’s credit; the wheels haven’t come off the wagon yet. The CPI/PPI are increasing but surprisingly the price of gas has elevated only a little. We’ll see what it looks like after the Trade Wars are reflected in the indicators.

9/11/01...that’s the day Hillary, who lied about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary, lied about being in Manhattan to watch the chaos only moments after safely parachuting to ground and dodging sniper fire as well as friendly from the crippled chopper carrying fellow liar Brian Williams, isn’t it?

You forget a lot, Col. Like how the admin encouraged ownership and created an atmosphere of those bubble loans and sweet-talked people whose dreams of ownership overcame their good sense. Wasn't that also the era of 'bundling'?

Yes,poor victims.

The government should have saved them from the government.

Actually IN SPITE of Obama!
That economic illiterate making statements and policies like this DID NOT help the economy much less the small businesses!
Look at these two memes and YOU tell me after following the LINKs on them that I'm wrong!
You can't have a president tearing down businesses approving bankruptcies, higher gas prices, encouraging energy DEPENDENCE and think that's "HELPFUL"???
I mean seriously... these small businesses don't have the funds to pay for the costs of truly outrageous and excessive R&Rs such has the below.
And to say Obama helped??? Ignorance!

Thank you President Obama.

How much does it cost the average small business to comply with government regulations?
One recent survey, released just in time for Donald J. Trump's inauguration, dropped this eye-popping number: at least $12,000 a year.
And you don't even want to know what a start-up spends on regulations in its first year. However, I'll tell you anyway — a whopping $83,019.

These figures come from the first-ever Small Business Regulations Survey, conducted by the National Small Business Association, which of course makes it its business to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses.
Among other conclusions, the survey found that 44 percent of businesses spend at least 40 hours a year dealing with federal regulations,
and 29 percent spend at least that much on state and local rules. Three-quarters of business owners say that they have spent time reading proposed rules at least once, and of these, not quite two-thirds discover that more than half the time, the rules they've read wouldn't apply to them. About 40 percent of respondents claim that they have held off making a new investment because of a regulation at some point in the past.
The $83,000 Question: How Much Do Regulations Really Cost Small Businesses?
So when this chart comes out and shows Under Obama there were MORE R&Rs written than the previous presidents... really???
Look at that! Truly disgusting how Obama kept putting more and more efforts to stymie especially small businesses!

 

[healthmyths]

Just think... from the above article about R&Rs...

About 40 percent of respondents claim that they have held off making a new investment because of a regulation at some point in the past.

The $83,000 Question: How Much Do Regulations Really Cost Small Businesses?

40% under Obama held OFF and why? R&Rs! 2/3rds of their time spent trying to comply with Federal/state idiocies LIKE this one!

Water closets"
Including this stupid one:
1910.141 - Sanitation. | Occupational Safety and Health Administration
For example are you aware that PER OSHA "water closet" means a toilet facility maintained within a toilet room for the purpose of both defecation and urination and which is flushed with water.
Minimum number of Number of employees water closets
1 to 15.................................................... 1
16 to 35................................................... 2
36 to 55................................................... 3
56 to 80................................................... 4
81 to 110................................................. 5
111 to 150................................................6
Over 150 ..................................................1 for every 40 employees.

So you are a small business owner under Obama and you think might hire that 36th employee.
You go ahead hire that unemployed person that was getting an unemployment check and who now will be along with the employer PAY 12.4% in payroll taxes! GREAT.
OSHA comes inspecting counts the water closets and says... YOU are in violation that you only have 2 and with 36 employees you need 3!
WHAT now small owner? Do you let that person go because to add another "water closet" will require easily 10,000s or more!
Is it any wonder small business optimism is at it's greatest point?

Hey I have put up additional comments and expect you to prove me WRONG about Obama's 180 degree economic differences from Trump.
Obama had more R&Rs. Obama wanted to see businesses go bankrupt. Obama wanted to 1,400 companies paying $100 billion a year in taxes and 450,000 be out of business!
Obama wanted the USA to buy more foreign oil while at the same time signed 40% fewer oil leases on Federal lands than GWB!
Obama was so uneducated about the economics of gas i.e. here is what HE wanted to see: "I'd like higher gas prices, just not so quickly.."

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
Federal OIL LEASES under OBAMA in 4 years new leases under Obama 5,109 new leases.. an average of 1,277 leases over 4 years
Under Bush.. from 2006 to 2008 23,569 new leases an average per year of 2,946 leases over 8 years.
Obama has overseen a reduction of 177% in new leases http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/energy/oil_and_gas/statistics.html
Conclusion: The most direct impact on increasing Americans' dependence on "oil companies" and foreign oil a president has is the leasing of federal land for oil.

Finally I've yet to comprehend the idiots against Keystone on grounds of "environmental damages"!
Folks Obama and these idiots I guess would rather have 1 million barrels floating on hurricane prone weather traveling 1 mile in a tanker than 700 barrels traveling 1 mile on dry land!
AGAIN total ignorance of reality!
David Mosley, public affairs specialist for the U.S. Coast Guard in Alaska, says that the thousands of ships that already navigate its waters each year face "winter hurricanes" with 40-foot seas and 100-knot winds that appear with little advanced notice. In a typical year, at least one ship gets into trouble.
"A vessel will have some sort of mechanical or physical issue that then puts them at the mercy of the weather and the waves."
The Environmental Dangers of Not Building Keystone XL

Now add 365 tankers each carrying 1 million barrels traveling in these waters every year!
and 700 barrels traveling one mile through the Keystone pipeline that joins more than 185,000 miles of liquid petroleum pipelines, nearly 320,000 miles of gas transmission pipelines, and more than 2 million miles of gas distribution pipelines to safely and efficiently move energy and raw materials to fuel our nation's economic engine.
Pipeline101 - Why-Do-We-Need-Pipelines www.pipeline101.org/why-do-we-need-pipelines
The Keystone with 16 monitors per mile of the 1,179 mile route.. OR one monitor every 100 yards and
Keystone XL will use satellite technology to monitor 20,000 data points on the pipeline’s operating conditions. -

Gee another wall of cherry picked hogwash. It’s almost as funny as you contention that nobody was uninsured before the ACA. If business was really that much enslaved under Obama, the dow wouldn’t have climbed 149% in his 8 years; part of that was actually recovering from the great recession.

AND you are so dumb! I NEVER EVER said NOBODY was uninsured! Dummy!
HERE once again read the FACTS... Obama said there were 46 million uninsured.
A) He included 10 million illegals... Politifact.org proved that!
B) He included 14 million people already covered by Medicaid. And HIS architect who told you that because of stupidity on YOUR part ACA became law!
C) 18 million people under 34 making over $50k don't want or needed health insurance.
SO dummy what that leaves is about 5 million who were uninsured... BUT NOT 46 million!

OH and you are so dumb regarding QE1,QE2 and QE3 and I'm not going to explain it to you because being so dumb you wouldn't understand.
Follow this link dummy if you can!

How much longer can the Fed prop up stocks?
How much longer can the Fed prop up stocks?
Adam Shell, USA TODAY Published 5:50 p.m. ET May 2, 2013
A big driver in the stock market's multiyear bull run is the market-friendly stimulus provided by the nation's central bank.
But Wall Street wonders if the Fed can keep propping the market up forever.
Dummies like you never ever knew that nearly
The Fed's zero-percent-interest-rate policy, dubbed "ZIRP," and its unprecedented bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, or QE, is often cited as the major engine behind the market's 136% rise the past four years and its fast-and-furious 12% gain so far in 2013.

Dumb ass people like you make dumb ass statements and NEVER back them up because there are NO FACTS!
