Sales are down not just for porn, but for cars, music, restaurants, and everything else.
So free porn is not the problem.
In 2008, the US had the subprime mortgage "crisis", which was $180 billion in risky mortgages.
That caused the growth of sales to slow from 6%-7% per year to 2%-3%. Some jack ass decided
to spend a two TRILLION dollars trying to fix that $180 billion problem, $2 trillion OUR money.
That's about $10,000 per tax payer! What happens when you take $10,000 from someone?
He's broke and can't buy shit. Sales go down.
Bush was a blabbering idiot in a lot of ways, but his response kind of made sense - people are
having trouble paying their mortgages, to the tune of about $180 billion, so let's give them
back some of their money, he figured. He gave us back $145 billion via tax cuts so hopefully
we'd be able to pay our mortgages. Since it's the government, it wasn't done well, so the
growth of sales was slow in 2008. That's basically what economists mean when they say
"the economy grew at 3% last year" - that sales are up 3% overall.
When Obama took people's money away, they could buy less stuff and sales went down.
In 2009, sales overall (GDP) was down for six months in a row, and that's the definition
of a recession. This quarter sales may be starting to turn around, but we each have $10,000
in new debt courtesy of the morons in Washington. We need to get $10,000 each in new sales
in order to offset the $10,000 in additional taxes that are being used required to pay for "deficit stimulus".
perfect wording - the only thing it stimulated was the deficit because the $2 trillion was given
to Obama allies like ACORN, rather than to people like you and me trying to run a business.
