Hey guys! Rather than dump on the publication and make fun of the writer, why don’t we productively provide the talking points to counter this stuff? That is what a good conservative web site should be doing. After all, these are the talking points that Obama will be using later this year. We might as well stoke up our side so that none of us is caught flat-footed.

For instance, we should point out that unemployment figures produced by the government are only valid during the early stages of a recession. Once it has gone on this long, the government starts to exclude those who have dropped off the roles and are no longer even looking for work. Fox News is estimating actual current unemployment at ~15%. Others put it as high as 18%.

Not only did employers demur in hiring new employees as soon as Obama was elected, the government heaped uncertainty into the mix by passing Obamacare whose provisions were not even explained by the administration even after passage. How can business expect to extend employment to people in the face of unknown costs?!

See post #12. I addressed this AFTER I got done dumping on the writer and his publication.
