You have some valid points ... my understanding in reading some of this is this is the numbers are net net change (loss) of the retailers listed. These numbers are available each year. The reason I had them is we were putting something together for a client. So you can go on line and see that back just a few years ago there were net additions rather than losses.

This is not blaming it all on Obama and the dems ... but they need to take some ownership since their approach to the economy has had a very slow impact which resulted in more closings and more job losses.

I am sure that rather than the expansion of government and the other foolish things that the stimulus went to, a package that provided incentives to business through tax cuts, or tax cuts to individuals ... you would not see nearly the level of store closing, nearly the level of unemployment .... and as such, even government tax revenues would be higher since you would have more people working and more businesses operating.

But tax cuts are evil and don't work ... so instead we drive up unemployment, let businesses close, deflate asset values of homes and commercial real estate ... government revenues fall and it is blamed on bad policies from the past ... which by the way worked, and worked well.
