I think we need to continue to fight against the health care bill but unemployment is killing us too. The more we have to pay out to support the unemployed, the worse things are going to get overall. Unfortunately, the only way to create jobs is to bring back big business and we are driving them out with higher costs. The health care bill is going to be the final nail in the coffin for employers. With so many out of work there's fewer people to pay taxes so government will continue to go after the wealthy. Since the wealthy provide the majority of jobs we are going to be in worse shape as they continue to take their businesses to other countries. Nobody wants to start a small business right now because people aren't spending like they used to. My husband does mowing for people around here as a side job and we're even noticing people cutting back on that. He's also having more trouble collecting from some people. I think our country is in serious trouble.
Just wanted to get a few opinions on this matter. Although March figures are in and show an increase in jobs for that month (approximately 162,000), should we leave the health care debate behind and move on to more important issues, or continue beating the dead horse in hopes somehow we'll revive it? Anyone know CPR?
