In my living memory, every socialist failure has been blamed on the weather. And so it is with the pathetic job growth figures in the U.S., which the New York Times attributes to “snowstorms.” Never mind the minimum wage, the payroll tax, the regulations, the mandated benefits, the dozens of agencies that add artificial costs and risks to the hiring process, the unions, and the vast governmental machinery that inhibits start ups. It’s really all the fault of mother nature.
So now it’s the weather!
