We see how well the economy has done since the last President Bush involved us in multiple theaters.

Denver Steve, I want to be nice, positive, sensitive,sweet,giving and forgiving....BUT Have you ever stayed awake all night wondering how to make "PAYROLL" ? Have you ever owned your own business with employees with families that depend on you to make things happen so they will get paid for their hard work so they can eat ??? Until you have had this huge responsibility on your shoulders, I will no longer discuss this subject with you. END of STORY.

All the above, currently. Our businesses grew at 31% last year. We just closed out inventory on the retail business with a 20% growth in product stocked, 31% gross sales growth and 33% employee growth. Additionally our real estate holdings almost doubled. So yes, I'm intimately aware of all the above. What's your point. We have been in the black since opening 9 years ago after I retired from service. I don't stay awake at night, I run my companies fiscally tight and have nothing to lose sleep over.

Please forgive me as I am a real nice guy ...until I hear the word...Obama . Sick . I am again.
+1, I find it amazing that the Obama administration does not include the price of fuel and food when coming out with their Inflation numbers.

Sorry Obama is a joke.

The war in Iraq was a mistake, Afghanistan should have been a military mission and not a regime change.

I will say this as if I were talking to an 8 year-old.............The economy is worse now then when bush was in office.

Stephen.

My after service life was in Executive Retail Management. A 20% growth in product stocked is stale inventory...I wouldn't tout that too much. And a 33% growth in employees? So you hired 33% more employees for a 31% GROWTH in gross sales...I wouldnt brag too much about that either.

You obviously have gone over the edge. As long as you're as completely nuts as you appear to be, I'll let you rant incoherently.

33% when the economy is, as you chicken little's state is horrible, is pretty good. I employ people while you sit in your chair and whine.

John/Millie - if you actually read things you'ld know I was in the military. And my bio would read born in Denver, and while Steve may be too decent to say it, NO one at Langley says they worked at Langley, it's the first rule of Langley. You're a broken poser. If you want people to respond to your $h!t for mouth, keep your posts on one thread. What was your MOS anyway - Bravo Foxtrot? As I stated before, I doubt you saw any combat, even if you were stationed somewhere other's did. Did your DD-214 read "cowardly discharge"? For someone who says they did something, me thinks you protest too much. As I stated before, no one who speaks of war as cavalierly as you, ever heard bullets whizzing past their head. Poser.

John/Millie posted this - " HOLD THE PHONE MISS MURPHY !!!" Mile High, Have you seen John99's wounds ? From his service to this great country ? Obama... show us your wounds !!!!! - So are YOU two the same person or are you having your wife fight your battle's for you? Dusche.
