Obama: Obamacare "Hasn't Done Too Bad In Terms Of Employment... Just Saying"
RCP Video ^ | 5-8-2015 | RCP

BARACK OBAMA: This this morning we learned our economy created 223,000 new jobs last month. The unemployment rate ticked down again to 5.4%, lowest it's been in almost seven years.

That's 3 million new jobs in past 12 months, nearly the fastest pace in over a decade. All told in 62 months in a row, America's businesses created 12.3 million new jobs. ..........

Since there are a lot of predictions of doom and gloom, I suggest those making those predictions go back and check the statistics. Just saying.

Going to breakfast with a friend who is a doctor.

He closed his practice and placed the blame squarely on Obamacare.

He voted for the guy and regrets that decision because now he has a government job, as a doctor, spending half his time doing paperwork.

Broken window repair jobs was described by economists Bastiat and Hazlitt. Understanding how ACA, or any government program, creates jobs is understanding how the broken window repair business creates jobs.

My doctor has told me that she is considering retiring because:

1. The amount of record keeping has gone up dramatically with Obamacare and so has the cost in expenses and labor to keep up with it.
2. The fact that the government wants her to turn over everyone’s medical information - whether you are on Medicare or not - to them is something she does not feel right about doing.
3. More and more people are on Medicare while the amount it pays is not keeping up with expenses.

She has mentioned those issues to me, but I am sure there are other problems as well. I wonder about what the Obamacare insurance actually pays to doctors as opposed to what private insurance used to pay.

63% employment rate for working age Americans. The lowest since the Carter administration.

"Obama: American business = Government business."

The sad thing is that statement is becoming more true than being a lie. Do a census of family, friends, and neighbors to see where the income is derived from. Between direct employment, transfer payments and government contracts, the answer might surprise you. The question is it to late to reverse it?

Yet, why does Obamacare remain unpopular with the public? Because, unlike him, average folks out there are living the reality
