One of the most obnoxious things in it (of many and he had a long, long list) is there is a provision for turning the unemployed into a "protected class" like minorities or homosexuals. If you are unemployed and you get turned down for a job, you can sue the potential employer if you think you were discriminated against because you are unemployed.
Trial lawyers everywhere are cheering that but no doubt it will have employers running for the hills (or moving to China... where it is still a somewhat free country). This will ruin all hiring in this country.
And that's just only one of the horrendous features in this bill. It is not only a jobs killer, it is an economy killer. No doubt it is that way on purpose.
So Axeldork insists it's all or nothing? Sure.
I say give Obama exactly what he wants, but then add 3 provisions:
- repeal obamacare
- pass an 18-month regulation moratorium
- repeal davis-bacon
