So Much for Helping The Little People

In a recession, Obama has simultaneously increased the costs of all federal contracts awarded and eliminated most small businesses from consideration. He signed an executive order returning to the favorite Democrat position of limiting all federal contracts to companies with a union employees. This event has been largely ignored, but it will have a profound effect during a recession. Few small or minority businesses are union businesses, so they are immediately eliminated from consideration even though they usually underbid the larger, unionized companies with a more expensive work force.

Coincidentally, since each union worker pays approximately $400 to the union yearly, it will bring in an estimated *$2,400,000,000 for the unions who have been losing membership at a rapid rate in the last 20 years.

*Union spokesmen question this total, but I have seen nothing to disprove it.
