Friday, President Obama said Republicans are spending too
much time trying to repeal Obamacare. That won’t create jobs, that won’t help
the middle class, and that won’t build ladders to the middle class.
Pure socialist rhetoric when we know businesses by the
thousands have laid off full time employees, cut full to part time, and most
announced new hires will be part time only ALL due to Obamacare mandates.
We also know about the jobs created since Obamacare
passed in 2010, 7 of 8 jobs have been part time. Incomes are down 4.4% since
the end of the recession.
This has resulted in the worst economic recovery in
history. We are in the midst of the longest stretch of sub 3% GDP growth since
1929.
Health insurance costs have increased 29% since Obama
became president, food costs are up 30%, gas has doubled, and electricity rates
have risen faster than inflation every year since 2009.
Fewer jobs, fewer hours, lower wages, and skyrocketing
costs of living. 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and a record
16.1% are living in poverty.
Although the BLS says the unemployment rate for August
was 7.4%/14.7% underemployed, Gallup polling indicates it is much higher at
8.9%/17.9% underemployed with an astounding 8,332,000 workers no longer
counted.
Any reasonable person would understand this economy is an
abject disaster for the working family, middle class, and the nation.
The reason we have this disaster is due precisely to the
Marxist Obamacare law. For the president to say the Republicans are wasting
time and it won’t create jobs or opportunity to repeal Obamacare is an insult
to any thinking American.
President Obama is either economically ignorant or a
dedicated Marxist intent on a government takeover of health care to fully
implement the fundamental transformation of America into a socialist welfare
state.
Which is it President Obama?
