   JOBS JOBS JOBS JOBS. Good luck kid, with Obamacare in to kick in fully 2014 no one is hiring full time. You MIGHT be able to get 2 part time jobs, but no benefits.
   Sad really, Benefits were at one time a bonus to attract the best and brightest to your company. Now with Obamacare it is a limiting factor in who and how many get hired.

   Too bad Republicans are spending all their energies trying stop the Affordable Care Act rather than create jobs, like repairing the nation’s infrastructure for example.

   Yes, business won’t hire because of healthcare so let’s take that burden away from business. Universal healthcare, if you generate income you pay into the plan. Let business thrive.

   What a simple plan. Maybe too simple for some to see the advantage. There is already a government mechanism in place to provide health care for those that qualify. We all pay into it (well, those that “generate income” do) already so the mechanism to fund the program is also already in place. The only thing lacking is the need to produce more revenue to cover one and all. Congress has the ability – by Constitutional law (opening line of section eight says: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes”) – to raise the “payroll tax” to a percentage that would cover the cost. Currently it is " 6.2% of wages up to an annual wage maximum ($110,100 in 2012) for Social Security and a tax of 1.45% of all wages for Medicare". Remove the cap on SSAN taxes and up the Medicare to 5%.

   In my generation, assistance was available to students to pay for education. It’s all been mopped up to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It’s a scandal. I like Elizabeth Warren’s bill on this topic, but it’s not as good as simply funding education. (Hint: Obamacare has nothing to do with businesses not hiring. If there were demand for products, people would be hired to create them.)

   Where’s O’s Jobs Council?

   Well, these are the next ones to be O’s legacy of 25 year olds living in the parents basement staring at that dumb Hope and Change poster.
   Hopefully these “kids” will wise up soon.

   IMO, its TRUE, that OUR government is doing a good job with the post office, the schools, the military, our IRS..
   But, the job it does can be better, and that requires a better people…..not a bunch of conservative lying extremists.

    agree…
    also, I favor the elimination of the insurance companies……….they are far too greedy….

    “Where’s O’s Jobs Council?”

    Good question. I would submit it’s the same place as Mr. Boehner’s laser-like focus on jobs that he announced in 2009. Like O.J. looking for the “real killers”.

    Interesting that we are providing criminal “too big to fail/too big to jail” bankers a rate of less than one percent interest, while student loan interest is likely to be allowed to rise to almost seven times that much. What’s more important to our country’s future?
