Does the National Labor Relations Board help employees or hinder business?

If the NLRB did not exist to support and promote labor organizing, some employers would take shameful advantage of their otherwise helpless employees. A strong NLRB stiffens the spine of good employers and encourages them to be better so they can remain non-union or otherwise ... more

Is economic/political uncertainty the main reason as to why the private sector is not investing?

And yet despite all the uncertainty, the one thing we all seem to be pretty certain of is that Congress will not (or cannot) act to help resolve the problem. Not that anyone can take much comfort in THAT. more

What is driving employees to want to leave their jobs?

Over the years I've left 3 jobs that I loved because of Dreadful bosses that made my life a living hell. People leave because of their bosses, not the company. In all three my cases, the bosses had been there a very very long time, ... more

I wonder, Michael, if you could actually cite some examples of governmental regulations and tax code policies which you feel are stifling the economy? Since that's a rather broad area you have targeted, I'm rather curious about the specifics of your claim. more

Obama economic plan: what are the basics of Obama's economic plan?

I wouldn't count on that, Bob. Not with the clown car of crazies the GOP currently has in the running. If there were a decent candidate among the bunch, Obama would likely have a very difficult time getting re-elected. But somehow, his political opponents have ... more

POLL: Are you confident in Ben Bernanke's ability as Fed Chairman to get the economy moving?

The comments are on display for all to see, Bob. One of us is attempting to have a discussion in good faith while the other is merely trying to score cheap political points with little to no interest in having an actual dialogue.
