As many of us not left of center have been saying, Obamacare is killing jobs and job growth. If it is not repealed, our country's better days will be behind us and not in our future. We are now in an out-of-control downward spiral economically. It will be entertaining at least to see the administration, the pundits and the apologists try to spin their way out of this one.
Obama is an abysmal failure and his policies are now coming to fruition. Can't blame this on Bush can they.
I thought you guys believe the numbers given by the government were BS.
Is it accurate now?

The only thing that has been keeping the economy "growing" is the insane influx of QE dollars into the market. The stock market growth has not been an indicator of a growing economy, it is the bellwether of coming hyper-inflation the likes of which we haven't seen since the Carter administration.
Gee, you think?While the economy's woes have been largely blamed on an unusually cold winter, the magnitude of the revisions suggest other factors at play beyond the weather.
Except the statistics do not support this assertion. Yes, the first quarter was down, but by nearly every non-political opinion, it was due to the rough winter. The winter theory holds credibility because the jobs reports since the winter have all had job increases over 200,000, as did most of Q3 of last year.As many of us not left of center have been saying, Obamacare is killing jobs and job growth.

With the exception of the harsh winter, our job growth from Q3 and Q1 is the strongest it has been in almost a decade. I'm sorry, unless previously released jobs numbers get revised downward (which is possible), there's just no evidence to support your theory of Obamacare killing jobs and job growth.

Given that the first figure they gave was that there was very minor growth, there really is no reason to believe the numbers. However, it seems they cannot ignore that there has been a significant downturn and no one is buying the "it's just the weather" excuse anymore.

That may be, but he just mentioned Obamacare.obamacare is just a part of the pie there is the billions of dollar in regulation compliance that is costing US jobs as well.
Agreed, so I suspect you'll go along with the facts which show there is no support for your assertion that Obamacare is killing jobs and job growth. Otherwise, you'll be in Egypt.Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Yes, the worst non-recession growth since the last major economic collapse. :roll:This is the worst non-recession "growth" in 58 years.
Anyone who wants to deny some of the strongest job growth in nearly a decade just so they can blame a policy to which they are opposed is more likely the one with their head up their rear.Anyone that can say that Obamacare has nothing to do with this with a straight face clearly has their head planted firmly where the sun does not shine.
Y'all crack me up.
Were Obama's policies working between Q3 2009 and Q4 2013? They're predicting roughly 3% growth next quarter, because employment and manufacturing and services are picking up. If Q2 2014 is positive, will you congratulate Obama for his good policy choices?
Care to guess what caused the decline in growth? A miserable winter, reductions in health care spending, and reductions in trade. Which Obama policies affected these factors?
Meanwhile, the Tea Party types want to shut down the Export-Import bank, which will hamstring US exports, and US businesses are freaking out. Yes, clearly Obama's policies are anti-business....
There is nothing like facts to knockdown a theory.
That may be, but he just mentioned Obamacare.

Let's focus on the facts. The job growth over the last 12 or so months, outside of the harsh winter, has been the strongest it's been in nearly a decade. That includes several years before the economy collapsed. There is simply no evidence that Obamacare is hurting job growth, especially since job growth has, outside of winter, been getting stronger since the individual mandate went into effect.

For your assertion that Obamacare is killing jobs/growth, you have to provide evidence to support it, and using a job market which appears to be accelerating is not the way to do it.

First of all, the job growth from September 2005 to 2007 was mostly paltry. Second of all, the job growth from 2001-2005 is irrelevant to the discussion RedAskton and I were having.Come on Sly, you are smarter than this. Job growth strongest in over a decade ignores the 9 million jobs Bush created from 2001-2007
Which has what to do with what I was debating with RedAkston?Yeah, but the jobs created are of the McDonald's/WalMart variety

He blamed Obamacare for jobs not being there. I pointed out the job market has been growing in the last 12 months quite well, the best in nearly a decade.
Which has what to do with what I was debating with RedAkston?
