Yeah I'm kinda in shock at the sheer political stupidity of what he's doing.
First he came into office claiming that jobs and the economy were going to be the priority.
He promptly spent the next year and a half on a "health care" bill that is not "health care" but instead is a giant gift to insurance companies (tens of millions of new FORCED customers).
Now he just gave ANOTHER speech a couple of weeks ago about jobs, jobs, jobs. And what does he do? Goes for a class warfare populist b.s. approach and raises taxes only on the rich?
How the fuck does that help stimulate the private sector and cause demand for products to rise and production to increase thus employment rising?
It don't.
And I just don't get it.
Who is advising him on these things? People want to make a living. Insurance companies and taxing rich people are NOT what they need.
