President Wormtongue’s new “executive order” (read dictator’s fiat) to put new restrictions on power plant carbon emissions will hike unemployment by raising the cost of doing business, i.e. increasing the cost of electricity.
Just like his party’s tax increases which are restraining consumer spending, but have been hidden by federal (read Democrat) manipulation of the data.
Not to mention Wormtongue’s own manipulation of climate “science.”
All of which amazes me, frankly, because back when I voted Democrat the party wasn’t this stupid. They tried to lower unemployment, not raise it. They tried to encourage business, not penalize it. They wanted general prosperity for all, not more welfare and food stamps. But, then, they didn’t send cretins to the White House just because their skin was the preferred color.

Yeah, the democrats ain’t what they used to be, ever, since the inception. The republicans, of course, have not changed, other to become more insipid than the democrats, save for a very few.

At least the Reps remain a mixture of conservatives and liberals (the so-called RINOs) with a (hopefully growing) number of small-government Tea Party types, whereas the Dems are all big-government liberals now. No more Sam Nunns or Scoop Jacksons among them.
