I just want to put an asterisk to your comment about employment. We met with Mort Zuckerman, economist and editor of U.S. News & World Report. He says that much of the ``growth'' in jobs reports that you see is actually people reentering the job market, but they're actually getting part-time jobs instead of full-time jobs and, in some cases, getting a second or third part-time job so that we're actually seeing an inflation of the actual number. So ObamaCare--and I would argue Obamanomics in general--is actually taking us to not only an underemployed society but to an unemployed and underemployed society, and much of it is from ObamaCare.
