The POTUS commented in his weekly radio address that so long as he is president he will continue to fight for the hard for working men and women of the “middle class”. I thought this ironic coming from a Chief Executive who has probably done more to hurt the middle class than any in recent memory.
Putting aside the environmental, entitlement and tax policies of this administration as obvious job crushers, one only has to read the second half of the “Affordable” Care Act to understand, this President represents the complete opposite of anything having to do with the promotion and/or sustainability of “labor” in our country. It’s no secret that fluctuations in applications for unemployment benefits have been overshadowed by the reality of a steadily shrinking workforce and the degradation of the traditional 40 hour work week, brought to you in part by huge increases in the cost of company healthcare administration. Companies like UPS have already read the writing on the wall and moved to cut costs. Even Teamster thug Trumka admits, the Obamacare “vision has come back to haunt us”, sighting the “unforeseen circumstances” of the President’s signature law which he helped write. “Unforeseen”??? Really???
With all due respect Mr. President, I think Labor Day is one you should skip and go do what you do best, the back nine at Camp David…
