What's troubling with the outcome of this election is how many people think that continuous 16+% unemployment is a non-issue. I have close friends, relatives, my siblings, even myself that have been or are currently underemployed or unemployed. Energy/gas, food and other basic necessities are slowly creeping up. We reign in our expenses but it doesn't seem to make a dent. Drive through any city or suburb and see vacant buildings that were once thriving small businesses just a year or two ago.

Instead, "important" issues are whether women should get free contraception, coal mining should be outlawed, school lunches should be provided to all children, shaking hands with our enemies who would like nothing more than for most of us to be dead, and numerous other 'unicorns and rainbows' legislation that do nothing to address the core problems facing us as a nation.

Only thing I can say is I hope our individualism and patriotism persists throughout these troubled times and hope we make it through to the other side of the next four years. It's going to be a rough ride. :facepalm:

I was hoping for a turn around. My business is just about a waist of time any more I think I'm going to fold my circus tent up and look for something new. Does anyone know if you fold a small business if you are eligible for unemployment ?

I was hoping for a turnaround as well. Small business climate is poor now. You may or may not be able to collect unemployment if you close up shop. Depends on if you had to pay UI on yourself or were paid a regular salary and withheld from your pay all along. It varies by state so best check your own situation.

Good Luck.

I know several people - my wife included - whose employers have already told them that if the king of the teleprompter was re-elected they "should expect some changes". This means everything from lay-offs to increased employee contributions for health insurance due to that ridiculous bill that they passed... They were just waiting to see if the economic/business climate was going to change before making any rash moves...

This will likely be the longest, hardest four years of our lives...

Well if you look at the popular vote this clown (obama) didn't get any mandate from the American people,he was just able to win more states with a higher percentage of electoral votes. If the idiot would just tell the Liberal wing of the Democrat party that he is going to work on the real problems facing this nation instead of pushing their agenda,and focus on job creation,smart spending,and lowering taxes.But instead he worries about gun control,political correctness,entitlements. I doubt it would ever happen, so we are stuck with him 4 more years,may God have mercy on our souls. :soap:

There may, and I repeat may, be something that will at least slow him down. The House is still in the Republicans hands, so he won't be able to force things down our throats like that so called health bill, "you have to pass it to see what's in it?" Give me a f#&kin break! :brickwall:
