Fiscal Cliff

On 1010 WINS radio this morning I heard a report tying the Fiscal Cliff to job losses.  Apparently companies are so scared over the uncertainty caused by this Fiscal Cliff nonsense they are laying people off like crazy and downsizing.  The report was designed to protect Obama and set up the Republicans.

Funny how there are no stories of what companies really fear.  Companies big and small are terrified of ObamaCare, which will make the cost of running a business sky rocket through mandatory providing of employee health care and increases in taxes (Newsmax.com).  In addition virtually nothing is said about the EPA regulations, which now average hundreds to thousands a month, that will make it harder for profit to be made.  Plus, the very re-election of Obama has made many give up and close shop over worries of the expense of running a business and the refusal to have one's earnings transferred to others who don't want to work (TheBlaze).

But let's say you do want to blame this all on the Fiscal Cliff.  What in the Fiscal Cliff talks has everyone so scared?  Is it some social program being cut?  Some infrastructure program ending?  Well, the 1010 WINS story doesn't specify this for a reason: it doesn't help Obama, and it hurts Republicans.

What scares employers, producers, and business owners the most is the taxes Obama wants to raise and the never ending spending he proposes.  It's not just the mere mention of the Fiscal Cliff and uncertainty.  Producers know what is coming, and they are not in a good position to survive.  Yet Obama takes no heat.  If you do a Yahoo search, one of the first articles highlights how Republicans will be held responsible for the Fiscal Cliff (WashingtonPost). 

When the economy  worsens and quality of life decreases, the Democrats, and a corrupt media that enables them, want to ensure that progressive policies are not attached to it.  It serves them better to have Republicans, who are painted as wanting to stalemate the president, the country, and economic progress, charged with allowing the country to go over the Fiscal Cliff. for the worse Republicans look the better Obama does.  It is a sad example of just how corrupt our media has become and how uninformed the average citizen is.
