Bass 2.O
If no one else will take at this one --- I will...
Black unemployment started to rise when the recession took place, not when Obama took office and please point out what Obama policies cause the black unemployment rate to rise, give the name of said policy(ies) and show how they impacted black unemployment.
In the 1st 2 years of his admin, B.O. (and more significantly Pelosi/Reid) held EVERY ASPECT of the American hostage with legislative uncertainty..
** The healthcare abortion (whateverthefuck it was that nobody read) that hung over the heads of every employer..
** The threat of cap/trade energy policy and the delegation to the EPA of powers to treat CO2 as a pollutant (as I live and breathe).. Hold your breath, we're still not there..
** The bush tax cuts. This one went right up until the last f'in minute and we're STILL arguing about it.
** The wars abroad.. Still no definitive policy or conclusion.
** Frank/Dodd legislation which wasn't really legislation (just an empty place-holder for regs) and is being developed (Slowly) in back room deals by unaccountable bureaucrats..
EVERRY SINGLE ASPECT of the American economy has been held CAPTIVE by the Pelosi/Reid socialist steam roller and now a more neutered Chief Exec. The UNCERTAINTY of all this for employers is why blacks (and whites) will CONTINUE to suffer in the workforce.. Get a clue --- clear the decks. And tell your troops to catch up on their "in boxes"....
One of the things I find so damn amusing about the healthcare debate is how Republitards argue that so called "Obama Care" is going to hurt employers when in reality it stands to benefit employers just as much as the employees. The health care plan is going to be affordable even to the full time worker and McDonald's, that my friends is going to cost employers less money paying for health care for their employees, a simple way to cut costs, now how could it be job killing legislation?
I wish it were that innocent.. But if your contention was correct, there would not be a STAMPEDE ON right now for WAIVERS. They're being handed out to "special" employers like strip club discounts in Vegas.. Heck -- ENTIRE states are looking for waivers from the "administrators" of this circus..
In fact -- I THINK McDonalds' was one of the 1st in line to get a WAIVER...
