Obamacare is why jobs report is so bad

The weekly repub address featuring NY congressperson Buerkle, claims the affordable care act is the reason why the jobs report was so bad. http://www.speaker.gov/video/weekly-address-highlights-weak-jobs-report-adds-urgency-full-obamacare-repeal

Along with many other republic talking points. the logic used in these arguments are always strained.

I left a comment. perhaps more will...

Not that there is any truth to it, but that never stops a die-hard Repuke.

No Mr Buerkle, it is not because of ACA. It is because the corporate world is so damned greedy, working the people who are employees now to the bone doing five peoples' jobs to keep from spending the money to hire more help....or moving jobs to some god forsaken country where they can pay $1 a day for 16 hours of work with no benefits and no regulations....or privatizing public sector jobs and putting government employees out of work while lining their pockets. Record profits, few jobs created.

THAT is why the jobs report doesn't look good yet.
