America's Second-largest Employer Is a Temp Agency
cold fjord writes "From the Examiner: '...the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider. ... part-time jobs are at an all-time high, with 28 million Americans now working part-time. ... There are now a record number of Americans with temporary jobs. Approximately 2.7 million, in fact. And the trend has been growing. ... Temp jobs made up about 10 percent of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, but now make up a tenth of the jobs in the United States. In fact, nearly one-fifth of all jobs gained since the recession ended have been temporary.' The NYT has a chart detailing the problem."
Oh fuck you. Obama was voted the most liberal democrat in the senate before his election as President. The man is the fucking embodiment of what being a modern Democrat is. You don't get to back pedal now. You assholes elected this evil prick twice in a row without ever vetting him, calling everyone who opposed him a racist and all the while insulting every conservative that thinks differently than you "stupid" and "ignorant." You don't get to now go back and say "I didn't know he'd be like this."
Fuck you and everyone like you that stuck us with this shit. You're exactly the type of low information voter that's fucked this nation for decades with your welfare state policies.
Take a look around you asshole, every major city in this nation has been run by assholes just like Obama for well on 50+ years. From NY to LA, all democratic run and every single fucking one of them is a welfare state, police state, verge of bankruptcy shit hole.
This is your liberal paradise mother fucker. YOU OWN THIS SHIT.
I completely agree. Obamacare is very business unfriendly. A Canadian style system where the employer bears no specific responsibility because healthcare is paid out of general taxes would be much more business friendly. Toyota, for one, certainly thought so when a major reason they put a plant in Canada instead of the US was Canadian healthcare. Republicans should also value maximizing the benefit for the money spent, and Canadian healthcare, which costs only 2/3 of the US, certainly qualifies as a savings.
So why aren't Republicans, with their concerns for business friendliness and cost effectiveness, pushing for Canadian style healthcare? It's an obvious win-win.
Because when Canadians actually need to be treated for something serious they come to the US. That's why. Now take your socialism and shove it up your Canadian ass.
