Last Friday’s grim jobs numbers left no doubt that America’s economy remains weak, with millions of families still struggling to find work.
ObamaCare is making things worse, and polls show Americans recognize that ObamaCare’s burdensome regulations are hurting small business job creation.
Despite these growing concerns about ObamaCare’s disastrous economic impact, Democrats insist their healthcare law is “here to stay.” That means the only way to make ObamaCare leave is to kick-out Democrats.

Last Friday’s grim jobs numbers left no doubt that America’s economy remains weak, with millions of families still struggling to find work:

Despite these growing concerns about ObamaCare’s disastrous economic impact, Democrats insist their healthcare law is “here to stay.” That means the only way to make ObamaCare leave is to kick-out Democrats:
