Found out yesterday that my wife is more than likely to lose her job due to obamacare once it kicks in. She is officially part time at her job so the hours are flexible for childcare. It puts her and a bunch like her in the 30+ hour catagory but not under current healthcare plan from her company. (A nationwide company with a branch in every major city) Looks like they are going to cut those type employees because it will cost them too much.
Hows that for drama? I fully expect it to hit somebody in your family also, even if you are too blinded to see it.

Short list of companies that have announced layoffs since the election 3 days ago:
1.Boeing
2. Murray Coal in Ohio
3. Energizer
4. Exide
5. Westinghouse
6. Research in Motion
7. Lightyear network solutions
8. Hawker beechcraft
9. CVPH medical center
10.Us Cellular
11.Momentum performance materials
12. Rocketdyne
13.Vestas Wind systems
14. Husqvarna
15 Bristol Myers
16. OCE North America
17. West ridge mine
18 Caterpillar
Not a complete list I just got tired of typing.
It is already starting, the people who hire and employee people in this country know what his re-election means. They are already making changes and cutting people to survive it.
My guess is a lot more in the coming months to be added to this list.

I know ! Your the type of person who has to be hit square in the face, with the fact's, to finally accept them !
"This summer, McDonald's Chief Financial Officer Peter Bensen noted in a conference call with investors that the fast food company was looking at the many factors that will impact health care costs, including the number of full-time employees."
"Prepping for Obamacare, Olive Garden and Red Lobster Cut Workers' Hours !"

Now, not only do these people make less money, they now have to purchase health insurance or be penalized by the I.R.S.
Again, don't let facts get in the way of your one liners !

Two companies on the above list would be making layoffs regardless of the election.
Research in Motion has one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. When was the last time you bought a Blackberry.
Next is Oce which is finishing it's merger with Canon, USA so layoffs are a given.

True, and I've seen a more complete version of that list, and several of them are due to the economy in general, not Obamacare.
The economy was definitely an issue for the election. Y'all picked the status quo.
There are also a dozen or so companies on the larger list who are directly involved in medical technologies and supplies. With the 2.3% tax that kicks in under Obamacare, those companies are cutting back accordingly. One (Boston Scientific) is closing down US manufacturing and moving it to China. Another company is closing down a US plant and increasing production at a Mexico plant.
That's definitely an election issue, but it wasn't one for the Presidency -- it was for the Senate.
The companies who are cutting back on the part timers? That's not going to show up as layoffs. But it's a pay cut for people at the bottom.

You "know" what type of person I am?
I point at you and laugh because you don't "know" anything you haven't heard on talk radio.

Nope, luckily I've had a job, some good, some bad, for the last 30+ years, the current one for 15 years, but still have some compassion for someone who "Want's" to work, make it on their own and not exist on government handout's ! But if you want to laugh at them, go right ahead !
I'd say in this case, pretty much hit the nail on the head !
I think we all know what kind of person you are ! Pretty good I cited something I found on the internet, post it "With" a link, yet you believe it all came from talk radio !
Ok...........now you can go smoke another blunt and play xbox and wait for your check in the mail to show up !

All those anvils to your head are taking a toll. Do you ever get a point?
A blunt might make you smarter, it couldn't possibly do the opposite.
