Talk about no clue.
Opening a Hostess plant with 18k workers is beyond me and I've been in business almost 20 years and have advanced business degrees. I have a healthy line of credit and a little money, but you're talking dollars vs millions.
And, based on your business problem that you outlined above, I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about. If your business couldn't survive off 45k per month in retail sales without you working 80 hours and making less than minimum wage then the problem is obvious and it had nothing to do with Obama.
Perhaps the new owner with his business plan and bank loan has figured out what to charge or how to manage the business better?
