Can it be true that job recovery was going very well before passage of Obamacare and has fallen off sharply after passage? I see that it may have declined by as much as 10 times. Check this link.

This link indicates that since the passage of Obamacare jobs have dropped from about 65,000 new ones per month to more like 6,500 and then it explains how and why that has happened.

The title itself is idiotic. I can't imagine what the article itself would be like. Who exactly is it targeting?

OP - I don't think job recovery dropped off of a cliff due to the enacted health care legislation, but it absolutely was slowed. The legislation led to dramatically increased healthcare costs to businesses, and the political uncertainty is making hiring a more risky thing to do.

If you want to defend an article, at least have the necessary information to defend its title, much less the stupidity it encompasses.

I am not defending that article. I actually think it was very poorly written. I just think a response that says nothing more than the name of a source doesn't add anything to the conversation.

Imagine you and a I are standing in a Wal-Mart discussing politics. Your friend walks in, points to the store and says 'Wal-Mart' and walks away. Did your friend contribute ANYTHING to the conversation?
