Obama’s Jobs Bill Would Make the Unemployed a Protected Class
Filed Under Business, Law, Politics | 7 Comments
Once again, sadly, this isn’t a story from The Onion. Piling a larger burden on business while making lawyers salivate even more with a little class warfare thrown in for good measure? It’s what Obama does best: President Obama has not been particularly successful in fostering the creation of jobs. But he thinks he has [...]

President Obama had better pray that Congress actually does not pass the jobs bill, because “pass this jobs bill” is all he’s got heading into 2012.

I’m expecting Bill to offer The One three pieces of advice on the course: try not to bend your elbow on your back swing; follow through completely on [...]

Filed Under Business, Corruption, Politics | 17 Comments
