Even though I can not stand Obama's ideology, policies or choices, I do not give him blame for our industry that moved overseas. There are many factors that occurred a long time before Obama. High union labor costs, high corporate taxes, etc. They have been in play longer than Obama has been president.
But, Obamacare and restrictions are causing small businesses to close up or not hire more employees. That's a fact.

I agree with just about everything, but the last sentence. The mandate that requires companies with more than 50 employees is not in affect yet. The number of companies with 50 or more employees that don't offer health insurance to their employees is very small.

Some people that don't have a college education are doing well. However, most of these people are in the trades, or government employees. Factory workers are almost a thing of the past in the US. We are now a service country. Even now, good paying service jobs are moving overseas. You call the customer service for some of the large companies, and you can't understand a word the person on the other line is saying.
