The Federal Governments War on the Poor and Middle Class



The poor and the middle class are suffering under a hostile federal government.  President Barack Obama has set the tone for the bureaucracies.  His administration is constantly meddling in the economy.  The end result is the rising cost of energy, health care, and daily operations of doing business.  Here is an excerpt from the Heritage Foundation:

Abstract: During the first three years of the Obama Administration, 106 new major federal regulations added more than $46 billion per year in new costs for Americans. This is almost four times the number—and more than five times the cost—of the major regulations issued by George W. Bush during his first three years. Hundreds more regulations are winding through the rulemaking pipeline as a consequence of the Dodd–Frank financial-regulation law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s global warming crusade, threatening to further weaken an anemic economy and job creation. Congress must increase scrutiny of regulations—existing and new. Reforms should include requiring congressional approval of major rules and mandatory sunset clauses for major regulations 

States are witnessing startling increases in health insurance.  All are related to Obamacare.



 I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the constant moaning by liberals that the United States is falling behind the rest the industrialized world.  Well, thanks to the Obama administration and the federal bureaucracies, we’re becoming just like Europe.  Workers are being reduced to part time work.  A record number of citizens receive some form of a government subsidy.  And we have insurmountable debt.  Congratulations Democrats, we have become what our ancestors escaped from.  I hope you’re proud of yourselves.
