Unions: Obamacare will “shatter our hard-earned health benefits” and “destroy the 40 hour work week”

Especially those durn public sector unions like SEIU. Obama’s gonna try an end-around with this to ensure that individuals are crushed but the unions come out intact.

The good news is that he might not be able to afford to do it anymore. We shall see. Yield spikes on the bonds are going to crush O.

Union rank & file members need to hold their leaders accountable for the LIES they told in regard to the wonders of Obamacare. Truth is, nobody read it so nobody could truthfully say it would be good for the workers.

Surprise: Not only are working hours being cut, but the insurance being offered costs significantly more.

The Farmer and the Snake

ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

Watching the unions in action is like seeing some rube get slapped across the face.

Two years later: "HE-EEEEY... STOP THAT!"

Part-time workers are also much less likely to be in unions.

What I am denying, however, is that these unions are “victims.” They are not victims. Instead, these unions are experiencing the consequences of their own actions. They chose to support the passage of Obamacare. They chose to help make Obamacare become reality. For them to now complain about its harmful effects is the height of hypocrisy.

Socialism isn't fun when you're the ones paying the bills, is it union-thugs? It's about time they get a dose of reality.

Not only will Obamacare cost more for most people except the very low income earners, the coverage is crappy. $50 prescription co-pays on generics, a $500 deductible if you want name-brand prescriptions, $45 copay to see a doctor, and a HUGE annual maximum.
