Dems should have set implementation date for HCR ASAP.

Now I'm hearing employers won't hire until they see the implications of the bill. If true this means high unemployment til 2013.

1. they are looking for ANY excuse not to hire

Although this gives them what they suppose is a *legitimate* reason to wait.

2. They're not hiring because...

... the economy is rife with fraud and theft and no sane man would put his money out there to be stolen at this time.

We need to fix (replace, really) the banking system before things will start to come back to normal.

3. employers hire when the work load demands it

end of story

4. I used to think that but now I'm hearing analysts tying unemployment to HCR

In terms of timing.
