by Steve MacDonald April 4, 2014
Thumbnail image for Democrat War On Work – Are You Pivoting From ObamaCare to Jobs Because ObamaCare Kills Jobs?

Yesterday I observed what has been observed rightly, from the right, for years.  ObamaCare can’t help but kill jobs. I know, wasn’t ObamaCare a jobs Bill?  Sure.  Everything Democrats passed in 2009 and 2010 was a jobs bill.  Commemorating post offices was a jobs bill.  Defunding abstinence education to pay for more abortions was a […]

“..while we’re proud of the Affordable Care Act, we now pivot to jobs.” … “Well let me just say, those of us who fought for this (ObamaCare) knew what we believed in and really don’t think we needed any vindication,” she responded. “We just had to protect it from those ideological anti-government people who didn’t […]

Minimum Wage Hike = Fewer Jobs, Higher Prices

by Steve MacDonald March 20, 2014
Thumbnail image for Minimum Wage Hike = Fewer Jobs, Higher Prices

We’ve talked about this.  Obama wants to kill jobs.  NH Democrats want to kill some jobs.  Make prices go up.  Reduce full-time opportunities.  Make it harder for new or unskilled people to find work.  Everyone knows what will happen, and still the Democrats persist.  They are willing to harm New Hampshire families to pad their […]

Conservatives are for You, Progressive Politicians are for Themselves

by Don March 16, 2014

Conservatives want the very best for everyone. We want people to be free, happy, healthy, independent, safe, financially secure, and to feel they are leading lives of accomplishment by providing for their families and contributing to others. These blessings are enabled and fostered by Conservative policies. Everyone applauds Bono’s humanitarian efforts in Africa. Bono realized […]

Right after 28 clueless Senate Democrats held a pajama Party (Up4Climate) on the floor of the US Senate to lobby a California Billionaire for campaign donations, Gallop released its March 2014 polling on what Americans think are the most important problems facing the US. “Climate” didn’t even make the new list.

Really “Fixing” Health Care Coverage Could Be the “New” New Hampshire Advantage

by Steve MacDonald March 14, 2014

If you want to keep people off Medicaid, or food stamps, or welfare, you need to improve their employment prospects.   This works best with little or no public money or political interference.   Business flourishes in the sun, so the shadow of the bureaucracy must be as small as possible. We also know that the more […]

Welcome To Total Failure Island

Democrats insisting we must increase the minimum wage is like a wife-beater showing up at the door with flowers. Me Nothing says total economic failure like a political party (Democrats), which has crooned endlessly about its effort to create good paying jobs for American families, having to use the force of law to make wages […]

Jimmy And Barry Have Something else in Common Now

No one can credit George Bush with being a great job creator, but things had stabilized before the banking crisis (created by Democrats).  He also didn’t add over 7 trillion to the debt in just five years while driving 12 million people out of the Job market, never to return.  (Recovery summer started with the […]

The Failure of Veteran Senate Republicans

by Tom March 4, 2014

I’m wondering why some of our veteran Senate Republicans are jumping on the easy track to fixing the so-called Medicaid expansion “problem”. Republicans are supposed to lean toward market based, economic oriented solutions and away from entitlement-based fixes, which ultimately our grandchildren, not us, nor the aging Republican Senators (who feel the need to “do something“), will pay for.

NH Democrats Want to Kill Jobs In New Hampshire

by Steve MacDonald February 20, 2014
Thumbnail image for NH Democrats Want to Kill Jobs In New Hampshire

We already know that forcing an increase in the minimum wage kills jobs.  It’s commons sense.  So common even the CBO reported that Obama’s executive declaration will cost taxpayers 31 billion and kill half a million jobs to offset his royal decree. But no one ever accused New Hampshire Democrats of having any common sense.  […]

Democrats Admit To Their Own Economic Incompetence

Nothing says total economic failure like a political party (Democrats), which has crooned endlessly about its effort to create good paying jobs for American families, having to use the force of law to make wages go up. In times of real economic growth labor increases in value as business owners compete for the resource.  This […]

New Hampshire’s Lost Decade (and a third).

Charlie Arlinghaus, writing in the Union Leader, talks about stagnation in New Hampshire becoming “the new normal.” In the course of his discourse on the years before and during our current stasis, business tax reform appears to coincide with job growth before the lost decade, and a lack of business tax reform for a lack […]

If You Have No Clue How To Fix It – Just Try And Hide It

by Steve MacDonald January 9, 2014

After five years of saying you fixed it, followed by ObamaCare–which will just make employment matters worse, this might send a message that you can’t fix it and should be replaced. Typically, the Unemployment Insurance program lasts for 26 weeks of unemployment with an additional 13 weeks during recessions.  Most of the cost is purveyed […]

Data Point – After 5 years of Democrat economic leadership

by Skip December 8, 2013

Democrats took over the Congress in 2006: November 2006, 145,534,000 Americans held jobs November 2013, 144,386,000 Americans held jobs. I think the “Blame Bush” mantra has now expired. (H/T: IJReview)

Unions And Democrats Sacrificing More Entry Level Jobs on Their Progressive Alter

The professional union driven “strikes” being fomented by professional jack-asses around the nation are the culmination of several layers of manufactured failure and outrage.  First, the Democrats have been ruining the economy and expanding the part-time employment culture–that’s planned failure.  And now that these people feel trapped (as intended) the unions are organizing them to […]

The Adults are Killing Our Country, It’s Time for “Wacko Birds”

by Don October 23, 2013

The radical leftists that believe politicians should control how you live and spend your hard earned money are rejoicing.  The “adults”, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, other elected Democrats and Republicans who forgot their campaign promises, have “won” and can force Obamacare down our throats. But not everyone has to comply with Obamacare.  President Obama […]

Yahoo News has a top story on how furloughed federal workers are getting bored.  It’s called ‘Shutdown Science: Furloughed Workers Feel the Burden of Boredom.’ Welcome to the real world. A world where tens of  millions have been unemployed so long they have stopped looking and left the workforce.  And yet, we’ve had no ‘science’ […]

Science, Technology, Union Backed Strikes, and Fewer McJobs.

by Steve MacDonald September 1, 2013

The unions are deep pocketed advocates of the Democrat party.  The Democrat party likes to think of itself as the hip party of science and technology.  In reality, they are trapped in a post-progressive world-view that has been circling the drain for years.  That reality has not, however, ecouraged them to stop being either progressive, […]

Stop Obamacare Now! Support Dontfundit2013.com

by Don August 26, 2013

Obamacare has hurt enough people!  It is time to end this evil sham of a health care plan.  The (Un)Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was passed by a Democrat Congress that didn’t read it.  Even getting Democrat votes required lies and bribes. Despite hundreds of Obama speeches and millions of taxpayer dollars spent on promotional propaganda, […]

Makes Perfect Sense- Part-Time Employment-Nation Run by Part-Time President

by Steve MacDonald August 5, 2013

Yes, yes, we know the left promised good jobs with living wages for American families.  The left promised us we’d be under boiling seas as well–didn’t stop the limousine liberals from owning or spending slivers of their fortunes on beachfront property.  Obama Care was filled with more progressive promises than you can shake a multi-thousand […]

Boehner on Obama’s Bright Idea to Add More Aggesive Regulations on Power Plants

I’d love to know where Senator Greene Shaheen, and Carol-McLane-Shea-Kuster stand on this energy-price spiking, job killing, economy punishing top down executive mandate on the way from Obama?  Seeing as they are all slaves to the green energy industrial complex and consistently support market distorting policies that favor them (and Obama is their guy) the […]

Sequester Will Destroy 170 Million Jobs

by Steve MacDonald March 11, 2013

I confess that I missed this (until now). Democrat Maxine Waters (D- Doh!), relieved that she is not in prison for all the corruption she has engaged in while elected to the US House of representatives, is making up for that by just being herself. “We don’t need to be having something like sequestration that’s going to […]

The Obama Recovery Is So Darn Good…

by Steve MacDonald February 3, 2013

The recovery is so damn good that more people stopped looking for work than found a job in January.  Around 157,000 became employed while 169,000 people left the labor force. Since Obama came to office 8.5 million Americans have left the labor force.  That means that there are 8.5 million fewer jobs in the country […]

Has Jeanne Shaheen Had A Come To Jesus Moment on Taxes?

by Steve MacDonald December 13, 2012

Eighteen Democrat US Senators have sent a letter to Harry Reid requesting that the Medical Device tax portion of Obama-Care be delayed. The letter does not say it directly, preferring to dance around the issue, but it is obvious that these 18 Democrats, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen among them, believe the Medical Device tax […]
