How’s this for a Ron Kind business conference; have him undo all his votes for; Stimulus, The son of Stimulus, Obama Care and all his other economy killing votes. We as business owners can borrow all the money we want. A lack of customers is the problem. Customers with confidence in the future. The current bunch in Washington has not done one thing right. They spent us into oblivion for political purposes and created a climate in which doing business is almost impossible. Now ironicaly enough enough Ron is bringing Government and Academia to the rescue in his conference. This is the very source of where all this mess came from in the form of his leader (Obama)
Hot debate. What do you think?

Hey Bob, when Clinton left office the U.S. didn’t have a defit, even though Clinton inherited one. Then Bush stepped in for two terms and gave the rich two tax breaks, plus gave us hugely expensive drug program, which left the U.S. in HHHHHHUUUUGGGGE debt.
So who exactly are you saying about Obama? Do you mean he’s been handed a whopper of a debt? Here’s what you won’t hear on Foxxx, Bob, supply side economics, aka trickle-down, doesn’t work. Why is it when Bush gave two tax cuts to the rich it didn’t result in jobs? How bout Bush senior and Reagon…tax breaks-no jobs, tax breaks-no jobs, tax breaks-no jobs. So, Bob, who created this debt again? Oh, yeah, it is the teachers, janitors, police officers, nurses and firefighters that got us into this mess. Yeah, that is who did it. Here’s why: WE KEEP GIVING MORE AND MORE TAX BREAKS TO THE RICH AND IT ISN’T HELPING OUR ECOMONY, NOR IS IT RESULTING IN MORE JOBBBBBSSSSSS!
Republican “Tea Party” governors are balancing their state deficits on the backs of seniors, poor, students, workers, and the disabled, while once again giving tax breaks to the wealthy big business owners. How many jobs has Walker (and Harsdorf) created, Bob? Here’s a tip, about as many as Reagan and the two Bush’s did. Negative.
The Affordable Care Act has been great, Bob. Small businesses are getting tax incentives to offer healthcare to their employees, more people are covered-insurance and companies can no longer turn down those deemed a financial drain to CEO bonuses, and insurance companies are being investigated if they gouge customers by jacking up prices. Lastly, it is a federal program modeled after a successful state republican created program.
So, Bob, what are your SPECICIF objections to the Affordable Care Act? Sounds like a good plan to me.
Lastly, “Now ironically enough Ron is bring in government and adademia to the rescue. This is the very soursce of where all this mess cam frim in the form of his leader…” Government is of the people and for the people. Are big oil companies that pay NO taxes “of the people” and “for the people,” Bob? Government is your neighbors, Bob, i’d rather trust them for my interests way more than Wall Street, Koch bros, and big insurance companies. Government is GOOD, Bob! Government is a check and balance against *GREED.*
Academia deserves our respect and gratitude. Who wouldn’t want academia to be part of business discussions. Who wouldn’t want to have as many bright minds contributing to the discussion as possible. It makes business sense to bring in as many of your best and brightest you can to discuss issues and possible make meaningful, beneficial changes.
Bob, show us what you know about Obama Care. What is it you SPECIFICALLY disagree with? SPECIFICALLY? And saying it is “socialist” is totally meaningless, unless you know the definition of socialism and can relate it to the Affordable Care Act.

boy – whoever indoctrinated you did a good job. danimal – doyle did exactly what you are asking, raised taxes. How did that work out for WI? CA, MI, NY are a few states that have been controlled by democrats and raised taxes – how is that working out for them? (Arnold is no republican). Democrat, Cuomo, is not trying to get rid of the excise tax on the rich because he figured out the rich leave and it actually creates NO revenue! The way to increase tax revenue is to lower taxes. Then to reduce the debt, STOP SPENDING! you don’t seem to realize that we have a spending problem. Do you realize that Seniors like Paul Ryans plan? They understand that they will be rationed under Obamacare and understand that they will still get coverage under Ryan and have more control over the type of coverage they get. You should actuallyl research his plan instead of posting talking points from your lefty leaders.

Yeah! Double yeah brother!! We need more bold men like Scott Walker with his courageous new ideas! Penalize city workers, teachers and nurses and give breaks to rich businesses to balance the budget. Ooops, just read that Walker stated before congress that that actually will not affect the budget. Oh well, whatever – back to his progressive new plan! Eliminate SeniorCare – we can save a chunk of change by making the 91,000 poor, sick and elderly pay more, they aren’t gonna be around forever anyways. Hire drunken drop-out sons of donors at $81,000. Cut funding for recycling programs – we don’t want none of your recycling BS. Get rid of that friggin hippy “wind energy” crapola. Go Scott!!! Where can I send a check? I understand those commie teachers did $3 million dollars damage putting masking tape on your marbled halls? Gobless America!!!

Madison protests cost WI taxpayers millions

The tab to keep Madison operating through the weeks of union attempts to shut down the legislature has yet to be calculated entirely, but it has already run into the millions, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The bill from the Department of Natural Resources alone for its personnel topped $350,000, and the parking tab for police to park their vehicles approached $100,000:
The state Department of Administration is still tallying up the expenses run up by law enforcement agencies and other departments during the weeks of protests at the Capitol.
For many days on end, there were hundreds of law enforcement officers on duty inside and outside the building. The cost of policing is already in the millions of dollars. …
The spokeswoman provided some details on two contracts. One involved a contract worth as much as $2 million to provide miscellaneous services, including food, to county and municipal law enforcement and support staff.

I bet my wife $100 that any negative response to my comments would eiother have the words ‘Bush’ or ‘inherited’ in it and at some point use capital letters. I don’t have time to watch TV or lengthy rebutals to strangers and I have never made a comment to a webpage before this.
Sorry guys, I have been in business for 30 years with every concievable malady in the economy (including 19% interest rates) and have generated millions of dollars of sales over those years. I consider myself on the frontlines and experience things first when things are going good or bad on a business basis based on political decsions. You must believe me when I tell you that this is bad ( no capitals). I know you know instinctivly and in your heart of hearts what is wrong with the present politlcal decisions being made. I know I can never change your minds and I am hoping that for the future of my family and business that the vast silent majority are with me. I do know from what I have read that in the last 2 years we have accumulated more debt than all of the previous administrations combined since George Washington. I guess all we can do is see what plays out in the next election. Over and out and back to work for me.

Its OK Bob- the left just want you to give up all your profits to cover their social programs…they dont feel you need to WORK to get things in life. Nevermind that you probably 1. worked a hundred hours a week for years to get where you are now, 2. be on the verge of having to close down and lose everything more than once…but that does not matter to the left…just pay, pay, pay for all the things they can dream up to share the wealth with those that choose not to try to make something of themselves.

US economic growth slowed sharply in the first three months of the year as higher food and gas prices dampened consumer spending and sent inflation rising at its fastest pace in two and a half years.
Projected annual growth slowed to 1.8%… Figures showing jobless claims unexpectedly rose, adding to the dismal picture.
The average national price of gasoline rose to a $3.799 a gallon this week in the US and prices have risen 25% this year, taking a large chunk out of household income.
Inflation surged to 3.8%, its highest since the third quarter of 2008, after rising only 1.7% in the fourth quarter. The core inflation index, which excludes food and energy costs, was 1.5%, the highest since the fourth quarter of 2009.
Hummmm? Just the facts….
