America has spoken
Whether you agree with the election or not and who won, now it's time to address crucial issues. While I fear time for discussion is far too late, and I think the country is WAY too divided for any real progress, an attempt must be made.
2nd coming of a recession
This is scary stuff. And while I agree our society needs a lot of social changes, we have a responsibility to be fiscally responsible for my children and yours. Just under the new healthcare laws starting to take effect (full effect by 2014) I'm paying almost $600 more, which is just about a 30% increase. Take in effect, inflation of only 2%. Not accounting that the mandate for insurance would put more undue pressure on a struggling small business. To cover additional expenses in costs for employees by forcing the business to provide coverage means either a) a raise in price to the consumer or b) laid off employees by businesses that can't afford to lay out that extra money
Then this..
"But if officials don't make a deal, the effect could be disastrous, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. If all the scheduled spending cuts and tax increases took effect, the impact would cost 6 million jobs, and unemployment could top 11% by 2014, the lobbying group said."
Business spending tightens
You guys got your mandates, whatever they may be. Fix this mess now..
