SUCKER PUNCHED


The business people in Havre have all been feeling the “pinch” of the tight economy. They are sitting on the edge of their chairs worrying about what could be a long winter with slow sales, high utility bills and other rising fixed expenses. They hear news reports on a daily basis telling them how all is improving, yet they see no local results. Many are hoping and praying that the beginning of the gift giving season of good cheer will bring an increase to their respective slumping businesses. So what do you suppose our State bureaucrats do to help? Yep, they increase the premium employers pay for Unemployment insurance an average of 71.5% starting in January.


Thank you Governor BS and our fat-cat well-paid tax-supported bureaucratic friends for this fine holiday gift. Where the Hell is our “stimulus?”

    Thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen anything yet from the Unemployment Division.

    It's always nice isn't it to have the govenment entities dump on you while it is slow and hard to generate revenue.

    When does it ever end?

    I have noticed that any shortfall in revenue is expected to be made up by additional fees to business because they can best afford it I guess the thinking is.

    I do wonder if those affected businesses will pass these increased costs on to me, the consumer?

    DUUUUUHHHHHHHH
