Shaking My Head!
Headline from a recent industry news story:
"SPI Lauds Obama for Highlighting Economic Growth in State of the Union Address"
Seriously? Has no one noticed the deliberate war Washington has been waging on the American manufacturing base? The forced closures of coal-fired power plants by the EPA, and the EPA/DEP refusal to allow utilities to construct or upgrade grid infrastructure is setting us up for an electrical disaster. Excessive Obamacare costs are driving the labor force to part-time and reducing available healthcare, yet Washington does nothing to stop the flow of illegals or transmission of infectious diseases. The lower oil prices are temporary at best. More jobs being available does nothing to put contrast on the reality of the unemployment number propaganda where those who have exhausted their Unemployment Compensation, and those who are not eligible to claim UC are simply not counted by the government. Of the jobs coming available, the majority are part-time so as to skirt the Obamacare mandates. Considering the tax increases that went into effect January 01 including the new capital gains and medicare punishments; the looming increases in fuel and other transportation taxes; the looming increases in state & local taxes; increasing raw materials costs from metal to wood; increasing food prices as government's war on family farms goes into overdrive ... the only thing Washington is setting the stage for is a major socioeconomic disaster!
Denying the truth does not change what the truth is.
Ignoring the facts does not make them go away.
