Unemployment is at the highest level since 1983. The stimulus bill was a failure. The economic outlook is dismal. Our generals have been waiting weeks for the President to make a decision about Afghanistan. So what are House Democrats working on Saturday to accomplish? A massive health care take over that will in no way help the economy. The massive entitlement will burden the nation with trillions of more dollars in debt. For those scoring at home the United States national debt is nearly $12 trillion. That’s only $128,105 per American taxpayer. Or in my case my income for the next three years. This is what happens when ideology overcomes common sense.
Based on my real world experience, (my degree is not in Economics) unemployment numbers are a funny thing. They’re the first sign of a downtrodden economy, and the last figures to show any signs of improvement.
