...and meanwhile the government employees and union workers are getting raises and the Obamas can't spend taxpayer dollars fast enough on parties, travel and dates.

It's ugly and going to get uglier. I have a friend whos son has been a contractor for 10 years or so. Well thought of. He is working for someone else at the moment.

Meanwhile the bozo's in DC keep spending and doing nothing to help the economy get going. They want to do their health care like MA where employers HAVE to supply health insurance. They give no thought to that other then there, all the employers will go out and buy health insurance. Ah, no, they won't, they are going to start laying people off. Small businesses aren't buying it now because they can't afford it. Mandating just means higher unemployment.

I just spoke with a lawyer friend in Seattle. His sister and her husband have a general contracting company that used to employ 20 people. They're all gone now. This thing is going to get a lot worse, and the Clowns in DC keep pushing ahead.

I'm not going to be terribly sympathetic with any hopeychange Obama voters who start whining about losing their jobs.
