ObamaCare and Jobs

This week the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced:

"On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all "measuring green jobs" products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.

Ok, I get how measuring mass layoffs might cost some bucks; but really? Green jobs? Couldn’t a blind guy with one hand and a broken solar calculator do that job for $24,000 per year"

This is why Obama needs to allow for gay marriage at the national level, all the money that can be generated from this then maybe can offset the loss to the economy in other ways. If Obama wants healthcare for all, then he needs to make sure gays have all equal rights here in this country. Let's hope maybe his legacy will get one thing right, 100% equal rights for gays too.
