Marie Antoinette was not very concerned with the common people who were starving. She suggested the cake menu to them when told that they were starving. Congress and B.O. had a very similar response when they found out that their families and their staff would be paying much much much more for health insurance under Obamacare-and they would in fact be losing some of their sweet benefits.
What was their reaction? Why, to exempt themselves of course! Not one of them has to deal with the onus that they created for the rest of us. Not one single congress person or senator has to sort through the higher premiums of obamacare. Not one single judge or justice has to dig through the volumes of paperwork and write a larger check for their health care. That's convenient for them, isn't it?
It's a lot like a person reading their own electric meter and deciding what they owe. Where in the world can I sign up for something like that? For that matter, why can't we all be excluded?
B.O. has delayed the employer mandate for one year. That is pretty handy for him, as the elections are coming up, and it's not looking like a great year for the democrats who foisted this train wreck upon us. When Pelosi said we would have to pass it to see what was in it, she wasn't kidding. Now, not one single politician is running their re election on the platform that they voted for the biggest leap toward socialism we have had since FDR was president.
The state that I live in has declined to set up the exchanges that will be needed so that people can "shop" for health insurance. Most of the states have done the same thing. That means one more delay, on more debacle for B.O. to "fix" if he ever stops vacationing. Poor guy- he was so tired after hauling his wife, two children, mother-in-law, and niece and nephew all over Africa for 17 days that he needed a month in Martha's Vineyard. Poor guy.
I didn't think that B.O. could arbitrarily delay parts of a law once it's signed into being. As a constitutional professor from Harvard, I would have thought he would have all the ins and outs on what a president was allowed to do. Maybe not.
But the Constitution aside- B.O. has decided that employers will have another year before they have to start dealing with all of the many headaches that obamacare will be bringing. The response of most employers? They have cut most employees hours so that they are no part time employees. Now they don't have to provide insurance for those part timers. Of course, the employee will now need another job to cover the hours they just lost. Unless of course, they can feed their family on 32 hours a week.
Can you imagine how complicated your week will be when you have to coordinate two work schedules and get yourself back and forth to both of them? What happens when your days off don't coincide? Is it possible that a day off will mean only having to go to one job? If that's the future you are facing-thank an idiot that voted for Obama. It's their fault too. In the mean time, I'll save the want ads for you, and you can thank me later.
