It is the ultimate example of how you reap what you sow: Huge numbers of American workers who voted for Obama are now seeing their own jobs slashed below 30 hours a week as employers desperately try to avoid "Obamacare bankruptcy."
Obamacare mandates for businesses only apply to those working 30 hours a week or more, and while many businesses do not want to cut workers' hours, they are being forced to in order to stay afloat. This necessary action is causing businesses to lose money and become less competitive while at the same time destroying American jobs.
Some businesses are also slashing job positions in an effort to get below the 50-employee threshold above which Obamacare mandates kick in. So across the country, we're not only seeing workers lose hours thanks to Obamacare; we're also seeing workers losing their jobs.
But the Obama administration will announce these results to be a huge "job creation success!" because workers must now find two part-time jobs that usually pay less than the one full-time job they used to have. The raw job numbers, however, will be spun by the White House into a victory pronouncement of "twice as many jobs exist now!"
Be careful what you vote for
A note to Obama supporters: When you thought you were voting for "free health care," you were actually voting to get yourself "downsized." Your vote was an act of economic suicide...

Or service drops. Or more work is pushed to consumers as “self-help” and cost saving methods. Like Aldi’s promoting bagging your own as a cost saving method, or other grocers expanding self-scan as a time saver, because they cut clerks.
Did your student debt come with a degree? What is your educational background?
I can understand that.
Listen, moving back with your parents is not a big deal. They are parents, that's what we do. My door has been opened a few times for my children, always will be.
Tough times is and opportunity to learn things, figure out what is important and what's not. One scripture that has always sustained me is: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.", that is a wow statement.
God Bless and good luck, you can do it.
That is so funny, good for you. We have to find as many ways as we can to stop this Race Card madness.
I'm sick of it, and they depend on us being afraid. I refuse to play their game.
I don’t see any evidence Obama voters are getting laid off in higher numbers than normal people.
I wish employers would have a look at the bumper stickers on the cars of their employees when determining who to terminate. You drive a car with a zerobama sticker and you are fired.

Guys - got a young brother needs help and some good words out here.
Luircin:
“...It’s embarrassing, but my mother and step-father have let me move back in with them. I hate it, but it’s the best of my limited options....”
Thank God your mother and step-father are still here so you HAVE that fall back plan.
There’s nothing embarrassing about surviving, my friend. You do what you have to do.
Your response is not an “overly emotional response”; it’s a response to pain, and fear, and the state of things. I understand it totally. I’m scraping by to pay the mortgage every month, feed my family, and keep the lights on. You are not alone; there’s varying degrees of financial wreckage for a lot of us.
On the plus side for you - you’re young. You can - and will - recover eventually.
Don’t give up, brother. Life is a giant wheel of sh*t and sugar, and most of the time we’re somewhere in between the totality of either of those two states. Right now, it’s just sh*tty, but it will come around again.
There’s work out there; may not be what you want to do, but do what you have to any way you can to pay your bills.
Ping me anytime.
Time for a new campaign, avoid employing liberals!
That is real “Social Justice”, I wonder how implementable it would be...?
“It was a vote of economic serial murder, at least second degree murder that is (Intent to do economic harm to half the country that pays taxes, with intent to wound but not kill, but winds up killing anyway by bleeding us, economically speaking, to death)”
I agree, Boycott liberals businesses & employees.
“I hope the boss (quietly) targeted obastard supporters...”
lol Yes we must focus on remaining overt, less the liberals will make a discrimation case against us.
Still it must be done in the name of real justice.
“Let ‘em learn the hard way, ‘cause teaching them is more trouble then they’re worth.”
Teaching real Civil virtue is calmness, otherwise theses people will be taught as they are in our present university system to be thieves & political hacks.
Get Don Drivers DVD’s and learn the art of pitch—invest $20 bucks in some wooly worms, or svengali decks and go to work downtown... If you can build a tip, turn the tip and clear the midway, you will never go broke...
What is the student debt for? Some type of degree?
No, I’m sorry, Americans, especially younger Americans — there ARE jobs out there — they’re just lowly, grungy roll up your sleeves type jobs ...and MOST of them are held by illegals now. So, folks, why don’t you get off your duffs and kick out all these slimebucket illegals and take THOSE jobs and learn how to work for a change!!
Fast food, stocking, lawn mowing, sh*t shoveling ...it all needs to be done, but most Americans won’t do those jobs. Too used to their cushy little posts or asking Grandma for the money.
Or trying being a nurse ..or a nursing tech. Plenty of jobs there ...but all i EVEr hear is “ewwww — I can’t stand the sight of blood ...or, ewww, I could never take care of old people.”
I have worked the window, scrubbed the toilets, and mopped the floors. I’ve cut the grass, watered the plants, and walked the dogs. I’ve done it all ...doesn’t mean you’re stupid or not going anywhere ...it’s what you do to survive until you can get to where you really want to go!
HA-HA, My mom's a retired nurse and my sister is a nurse and has a great career. I have heard this by women myself many times. Sure, there are depressing aspects to those jobs, some stressful, but they are a job w good pay and benefits.
I get the impression that from 1993 to as late as 2006 many Americans got used to the idea that money comes easy in America, “Just do what you love and you will succeed” was the motto.
Just buy a house with no money down and rent it out and the price will double in few years, what could go wrong? ( I know people who believed this and got burned bad)
And every POTUS race the challenger has all the easy answers, until they take office.
I got a hang nail...it's Bush's fault.
My 99 weeks of unemployment expired and I had to go on Social Security Disability because my self esteem was hurt...it's Bush's fault.
My kids hate their free school breakfast and lunch that Moochelle regulates...it's Bush's fault.
Same old song, same whiners singing.
Well said, FRiend! You took the words right out of my mouth.
Obama fraud manufactured voters did not have their hours cut and neither did the city ghetto where the fraud is based.
When we try to pin it on the voters, we have to take into account the invisible and dead voters and foreigners who voted within the kingdom of vote fraud. That is what tipped Obama over in swing states. I think it is safe to say, it is up to 6% of the vote.
