jobs
productivity generally goes down during a recession. businesses want to keep loyal workers. even when there's no work to do. this last recession was so severe that businesses thought they couldn't afford to. so they fired people. now that business is returning, they're finding they can do the same amount of work with fewer people. productivity is way up. heh. seems like propping up a weak recession isn't good for business. let it become a bad recession. it'll give corporate america the opportunity to trim its fat. to say, we don't need your lazy ass taking up space in the break home. get out. heh. if we had severe recessions more often, ie less government up-propping, our businesses would be even more profitable. and our work force wouldn't feel so entitled. and yeah, that's a pretty cold thing to say to someone who lost their job. but it's strong motivation to not be the bottom 10%. or should be. timmer for president.
