Democrat Senator: A “Train Wreck” Coming

original article written by Net Advisor™

WASHINGTON, DC. There has been much discussion about Republicans defunding ObamaCare. The status quo is not working. A hard look at the economy, jobs, inflation, U.S. credit rating (See report 1, 2, and 3), higher interest rates, massive debt and the overall U.S. outlook is a train wreck waiting to happen.

If we stay on the current path the economy risks serious issues that will make the 2008 (really 2006 – to date) recession look like a sunny day at Disneyland. At that point, I would argue that progressives will then reassert what they tried to do in 2008-2009 and take over the banking, insurance, and healthcare (oops too late?) industries in order to “save them,” or “save jobs.”

The U.S. government already controls the most of the $5 Trillion mortgage and $1 Trillion student loan industry. This is debt that is not included in the National Debt, but are potential liabilities for taxpayers.

One Senate Democrat, Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee says he is concerned that ObamaCare is that train wreck.

“I just see a huge train wreck coming down,” he told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a Wednesday hearing. “You and I have discussed this many times, and I don’t see any results yet.”

Senator Baucus was the leading author and original supporter of ObamaCare. Last April Baucus said at a hearing to Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius:

“Small businesses have no idea what to do, what to expect…You need data. Do you have any data? You’ve never given me data. You only give me concepts, frankly,” Baucus told Sebelius.

Baucus also admitted in 2010 that he never read his own ObamaCare bill.

Obama’s Part-time Economy and the Minimum Wage Push

WASHINGTON DC. It used to be that 40-hours a week was considered a full-time job. The “Affordable Care Act” aka “Obamacare,” changed the definition of a full-time job. Any employer who has 50 or more employees working 30 or more hours a week are considered “full-time” workers.

Thus since President Obama signed his signature healthcare legislation, “ObamaCare” he reduced the definition of what a full-time job is by 25%.

U.S. Economy – Are You Really Better Off?

WASHINGTON, DC. There has been much misinformation that has been pushed to American to make them think that the U.S. economy is better off and so are Americans. Being better off is a relative question and can depend on where you like, the local job market and local economy and one’s personal net-worth or overall happiness.

One might argue the economy is better than it was in say 2007-2009. But we can also say the U.S. economy was better off in the mid-1980’s. We can further say the economy is better off since the 1930’s. In general how are people really doing now?

We just pulled a bunch of charts from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, U.S. Census, 3rd party research, and proprietary research based on the U.S. government’s own data, which has some mixed results. We hope you like charts, because here they are:
