We're one week past the election and I've already sat in on two meetings where our corporation is discussing how we're going to handle Obamacare, increased taxes, and upcoming federal regulations. I can tell you the discussions sure as hell weren't about adding faclities, buying more equipment and creating jobs.

Chicago Tribune Op-Ed piece from the other day, C&P this for you all, kind of summed it up for me.



Bad Choice

Voters had one candidate promising jobs and another promising free stuff and they chose the free stuff.

We've got four more years ahead of us of rule by executive order, deficit spending and money-printing with no end in sight, with no reform coming for Social Security, Medicare and the tax system, and 8% unemployment and GDP stagnation as the new normal.

Next up: the fiscal cliff, with a president who has not at any time in the last four years shown any interest or ability in working in a bipartison fashion.

This will not end well.

I'm curious how my large globalist corporation plays this. We can create or eliminate jobs in a vast number of countries. At any given time we're growing in one continent and shrinking in another.

It may not be fascism but the dictatorship will rise from the chaos after the USA goes bankrupt. A big enough crisis and people will just willingly hand away their freedoms for the feeling of security. It is just another version of the nanny state mentality already in place.

We didn't dodge anything. We're still on track and maybe accelerated it.

...I'm a gun carrying redneck of the "pry it from my cold dead hands" variety. I worked for the Santorum campaign during the primaries and have worked for other GOP candidates in the past. I was raised Southern Baptist, my father was a minister and I still attend (at least weekly) an evangelical church. So that puts me firmly in the social conservative branch of the GOP. I also worked in DC during the first Bush Administration...now those credentials were impressive but I won't bore you with those details...blah, blah, blah...

And me? Well, I'm a Scorpio. I like long walks on the beach. I enjoy quiet evenings by the fire.
Social drinker, and yes, I smoke handmade cigars.
But enough about me. Let's hear some more about YOU...

Never mind the complexities of a presidential campaign and party platforms. The author astutely boiled it down to "Everyone who voted against my candidate wants free stuff, anyone who voted for my candidate wants to be an honest worker."

Really, this is the level of complexity you're able to handle in the world?
