74% of small businesses will fire workers, cut hours under Obamacare
When will we learn that government cannot solve our problems?
The propaganda told by this White House is growing. Press Secretary Jay Carney said today:
"The data reflects that there is not support for the proposition that businesses are not hiring full-time employees because of the Affordable Care Act."
The only problem is that there is a ton of data to support that. Employers are adding more part time jobs than full time. Hours are being cut back from full time employees, with 74% of small business owners saying they will fire workers and cut back hours. But the White House keeps with their talking points that Obamacare is a good thing. Even the unions which had been one of the biggest supporters of Obamacare are desperately trying to get an exemption from it.
Of course, the White House needs to keep pushing the theme that jobs are there, because the president promised 3 times now to singularly focus on creating jobs. It's pretty clear the administration has utterly failed at that task, More people are out of the workforce now than at any time since WWII.
After 3 years of being passed, Obamacare is still a mess and is being delayed from implementation until after the next elections. The administration is refusing to comply with Congressional inquiries into why they are delaying implementation or whether it's even legal to do so. Of course, they're more than willing to meet with their media partners to continue to spread the propaganda.
What will it take for people to wake up and realize that government cannot solve our problems? The more government we get the worse things become. Even simple things like school lunch menus are an issue, to implement their overhaul would cost over $3 billion. And considering that school districts all over the nation are reporting losses of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars because kids don't like the meals, it's abundantly clear that government doesn't have a clue about what actually helps us.
The more power the government gets the less accountable they are to the people. The way to fix this problem is to vote out any politician in Washington who isn't working actively to remove layers of government. We the people know how to fix our problems, it's time to let us do it.
