We printed billions trillions and gave it away to lower unemployment.  What happened?  

Structurally nothing has changed so printing money and cutting taxes etc are just window dressing until the real problems are dealt with.

They won't be though.

Hahaha, too easy. On top of that he can't even wait five minutes for a response. Because, you know, I just love sitting here smashing F5 waiting to see your responses.

No, thanks. You didn't bother taking my bet so why should I take yours?

Here's more:

http://www.sba.gov/content/what-sbas-definition-small-business-concern

In the book it talks about business with 50 or fewer employees as employing 25% of the work force.  the SBA defines small businesses differently.

I was going to say that the 25% number doesnt sound right and BF seems to have proven my intuition correct...

The SBA site considers small business differently that what was in the book which they were defined as 50 or less employees.

as for your 2nd question, it depends if they have a forseeable need for personel they will. Problem is to be able to forcast accurately you need to be able to determine the variables and possible/probable outcomes...

this administration has take a situation in which it was already difficult to forcast the future of business and done absolutely nothing but inject more uncertainty...

if you dont know what your expenses are going to be next month are you going to go out and make a purchase on something that could turn against you if your expenses are higher than you thought?

of course not, why would you expect businesses to do the opposite?

What we don't have is growth.  What this article i started with the thread here indicates in my mind, is that the rich getting richer doesn't necessarily mean more jobs.

Uh, no.

Inefficient and anti-growth tax policy and tax code have been around for longer than Bush. Same goes for the untenable financial/monetary foundation of the U.S. as well.

well you should probably disclose that when you make your claim next time...

lol of course not bro b/c there are different ways of increasing net income...

increasing revenue...OR CUTTING COSTS!!!!

well if youre not increasing revenue, then you need to cut costs...

which is what businesses have done over the past so many years, which is why owners can still generate bigger profit while having less employees...

I thought it was commonly accepted that 50 or less was constituted as a small business.  Earlier in the thread, 333333, identified it as that (5-50 employees) so when i read it in this book i figured that was the standard.  So when BF posted that link to the sba.gov i figured the same until i started thinking how can something be so inaccurate.  So i checked SBA's definition and saw it was different.

I see me asking if you want to bet your account on the claim. You then played deaf, blind and dumb.

You and Straw Man should see if they offer group deals.

understandable, i dont however think there is a common definition of what a small business is...in the financial services field business size is often determined by amount of revenue it produces which is somewhat correlated to the amount of ppl it employees but it doesnt take that into account
