Hanson: Atlas Is Sorta Shrugging

via Pajamas Media, Works and Days

Excerpts

• “They Did It!” [ Everybody but Obama, that is]
• Where Are They Now? Austan Goolsbee, Peter Orszag, Christina Romer, Larry Summers
• Start Hiring, Stupid!...The employers of America have taken a time out
• The Slurring and Smearing...He clearly does not like private businesses
• Play Money...the private sector has concluded that this guy loves trillion-dollar debt
• Regulations Are Not Just Right-Wing Talking Points...Obama has unleashed the NLRB to shut down a billion-dollar plant. Ideology trumps reality every time.
• Energy Matters...Businesses really have concluded that Obama was once serious when he warned that energy prices would “skyrocket” and coal companies would be “bankrupt” trying to generate electricity under his new proposals.
• Taxes Are Not Investments...Those who hire finally got it into their collective heads that they were...to be further taxed as well
• Academics Don’t Know a Hammer From A Wrench, a W-2 from a 1040...without a CEO, farmer, or small businessperson in the bunch?
• A Thankless Job...“I’m hoarding cash, hunkering down, and am going to wait this bad bunch out.”

 If you listen to the left, they blame what happened in 2008 on free enterprise.  Now free enterprise is realizing it under attack and the left wants to up the ante.  How far can they push this and not push us over the edge?  The most recent election should have been a warning to them, but they are still pushing full steam ahead.
