A New Metric For Obama: Jobs Lost or Prevented

For the better part of two years we have been bombarded with numbers from president Obama and the Obamacrats about jobs "created or saved" by the Stimulus. These figures are a joke since there is no way to determine jobs "saved" from any statistical analysis. Indeed, there is not even a definition of what a saved job is. Does it count if some state employee kept his job for six months longer while the federal government paid for it? If that employee then got laid off, does the job still count as one saved? You get the picture. Much of the talk of jobs saved or created has died down since the numbers are so low as to be embarrassing to the Obama Administration. But there is another important metric that should also be measured: jobs lost or prevented by Obama's actions. No one reports on this; no one measures this. Without a doubt, however, the number of jobs lost or prevented due to Obama is huge and the country should know about it. That is why I am starting a new page on this site called Jobs Lost or Prevented. It contains details on over 513,000 jobs that have been lost or prevented just due to actions by Obama and the Obamacrats.

The list is far from complete, and that is where you all come in. If you are aware of any additional jobs lost due to Obama's actions, please leave the details in a comment to this post or on the Jobs Lost or Prevented page. Thanks.
