Private sector needs its jobs back first

Recently, when President Obama said the private sector economy “was doing fine,” I was rather stunned. When he tried to clarify his statement, he merely added more confusion. When the public sector unemployment is 4.2 percent and the private sector (this is called business) is over 9.4 percent, it is pretty simple for most people to see where jobs need to be generated.

A few days later, while taking questions, Obama disagreed when told a local company went out of business because it couldn’t deal with the costs of the Obamacare legislation. He said that the only ones who had to deal with the costs were the insurance companies. Mr. President, who do you think pays the premiums to the insurance companies?

Mr. President, I’ll say this slowly, “Without private sector business ... there is no public sector.” If you need further help please contact anyone who has business experience. But please note, you will need to go outside your administration.
