The Democrats love to prattle on (and on) about how they want to get those wretched unemployment numbers turned around. But they hate free markets and Wormtongue is the first to say so.
So whenever they get the chance, they go and whack small business (the No. 1 creator of new jobs) like their massive Obamacare tax this year that’s guaranteed to ratchet up the unemployment numbers.
“The research arm of the National Federation of Independent Business calculates that the higher insurance costs will shrink hiring by 146,000 to 262,000 jobs over the next decade, with 59% of those losses hitting small business.”
Keep this in mind the next time the White House’s principal occupant (when he and the missus aren’t on vacation) claims to be turning his undivided attention to the economy. Snort.
UPDATE: How bad? This bad: “34%: The unemployment rate for Americans ages 16-17. The unemployment rate for teenage Hispanic Americans is 48%, and the rate for teenage Black Americans is 60%.”
As a commenter at Instapundit says: If this was a Republican admin, the moral outrage would be apoplectic, protests in the streets, etc. But with a Democrat one? Crickets.

Moral outrage definitely has its political colors, true. But it is only expected.
