The reality is that the president’s partisan health care overhaul, passed without any Republican votes, is directly contributing to the nation’s unemployment problem.

“Green jobs” were sold to the American people not just as a way to improve the environment, but as a central pillar of the Obama Administration’s response to our nation’s growing unemployment epidemic. Two and a half years and nearly $100 billion later, this failed experiment has proven to do…
