5 Major Ways The Obama Administration Is Killing American Jobs

My latest Townhall column is called, 5 Major Ways The Obama Administration Is Killing American Jobs[1]. Here’s an excerpt from the column.

Admittedly, the country was not in great shape when Barack Obama came into office. The United States had already gone into recession, the housing bubble had burst, and the global economy didn’t look so hot either. Unfortunately, Barack Obama took a bad situation and made it much worse. Had Obama done nothing, chances are the country would be better off today and had he actually pursued a pro-growth policy of slashing regulations, cutting taxes, and tamping down the deficit, the economy would be immeasurably stronger than it is now. Instead, Barack Obama pumped job-killing, growth-draining rat poison directly into the veins of our nation’s economy.

1) Obamacare: Obama pushed a massive new entitlement program past a Congress that didn’t even read the bill. Many businesses don’t fully understand how Obamacare will impact them when it goes into effect in 2014, but they do know their lives will be much more complicated, it will cost them a lot more money[2], and it will be considerably more difficult to provide health care for their employees. Obamacare is a major disincentive to hire new people.

Once again, you can read it all here[3].
