This is exactly how the government ends up with $900.00 hammers.

To make a long story short:

Obama wants to give contracts to unionized companies and freeze out non-unionized companies.

The big problem with this idea by the Bolsheviks is that it kicks small business right in the shins. The last thing small business people need right now is higher operating costs. Health care “reform” has the same problem—it’s a threat to small business people that is very likely to drive up their operating costs. And of course small business creates most new jobs in America, so these left-wing policy proposals have completely stalled job growth at this time.

I’m still amazed at the arrogance and stupidity of the democrats as they continue to put their political agenda ahead of the national economy. There is going to be a payback day in the first week of November when America punishes the democrats for their arrogance and teaches them to always put the national interest ahead of the interests of their party’s political base.

The GOP is going to pick up 70 House seats and a number of senate seats and take control of the House in November. At that point the democrats will be successfully gridlocked, all this crazy economically destructive policy will be stopped, and the economy will begin a real recovery in November of this year.

We need to have the government only give money to gay-friendly companies, right?
