It's not like Bush had near record low job growth or anything. http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/...
Let's pretend you are a business owner with 50 employees. You really need 10 more employees but the health care bill is looming over your head. You know that the cost of their insurance will go up by at least 8.9% just in this year as has recently been determined.
You also know that income tax will be charged on the employee's insurance which will take a big bite out of their spendable income so they will want a sizable wage increase. There are added administrative responsibilities with the new rule that a 1099 must be sent to suppliers who have provided $600 or more in goods or services that you paid for. Plus the value of the health insurance you provide must be reported on W-2 forms of all employees.
You aren't sure whether you will be paying for emissions/carbon credits within the next couple of years. Add to that you may have to fork out considerable money to make your environment more green. You have no idea how the financial reform will effect your access to borrowed money.
Also there has been no determination on the Bush tax cuts. Your taxes may go up another 4%. So, are you going to jump in with both feet now or are you going to wait and see how much all of this will take off your bottom line?
Until all of this falls out, unemployment is going to be a big issue.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
