Obamacare may just be the cold slap across the face that brings some Americans back into reality. Unfortunately, it’s to late.
All the extra money required for Obamacare stops people from eating out, or eating at all like they used to. It stops them from taking trips, going to the movies, buying as many clothes or being able to afford much more than rags compared to the past.
In other words the private sector dies hard as government grows and confiscates your play money or survival money for health care.
Look for no one to afford Real Estate anymore and for us to have to go to multigenerational 100 year mortgages as many in Europe have had to do.
Life is basically over as we knew it with Obamacare and not over in a good way.
ALMOST????? Duh.
As long as the political elite and their families get theirs they don't care(mind you DC and not Detroit is now USA's wealthiest place), but one day the people will come for the political elite IMO. Wonder how well that will go down.
Incentives are built into ObamaCare to encourage large companies to dump health insurance.
Not within 75 miles of DC it won’t.
Sounds like your making Obama’s strategy work,the same Strategy that Whitaker Chambers wrote about in “Witness”,create Chaos,then come in on your white horse with the Progressive communist solution,in this case Universal,single payer insurance.
He also explained that at the time when he was a member of the communist party,it was the time of the Red Scare,people were really fearful of the Soviet menace,so the Communist party here decided on a new Moniker,that’s right they decided to call themselves Progressives so as not to scare people.
Guess what Hillary has been calling herself for awhile now?
That’s right,Progressive,we already know what Obama is
what did people expect - Obama was elected through fraud - why would he tell the truth about anything...
I’m sorry - but the people in his administration need to be arrested and tried for treason - Obama needs to be impeached and put in jail from crimes against the US public...
...but alas...no real men were elected to Congress - just more traitors...
I would agree...the private sector sinking in 2014....will be the big mess that they did not anticipate.
I would say this...from the beginning...I think the President and his staff built the entire mess and anticipated that the Supreme Court would toss it...thus giving them fine material for the 2012 election. It was the five-star gravy train...waiting for the five judges to fail it.
By calling it a tax, and keeping the mess alive....the supreme court forced the administration to continue playing a lousy hand of poker. No exits....no way of going anywhere except possibly the single-payer scheme, which the next round of fixing health care in America might attempt.
Sometime in January...the business folks will simply say they’ve noted a slowdown. Recession? It will be talked a good bit by May, and everyone will be asking the President what the next solution will be. Frankly, the OZ is out of magic tricks, and has nothing to fake everyone with. It’s a lousy situation...stuck in OZ, with some bogus characters pretending to be leaders....having no courage...having no heart...and just acting like a banana republic empire.
This m’fer has to go. Feet first or in chains. It’s either him or us. This isn’t a president, this is a criminal!
Is there any part left to wreck?
Break health care and force it into single payer socialized medicine under the government.
He also by his past associations would give the impression he and is kind feel wronged by the America that was and he feels we have too much power in the world.
Many believe it could be in his cards to crash our country and economy to bring us in line with his reduced America standing view.
Remember his wife was only proud of America for the first time when the country elected her husband.
Remember his Reverend racist Wright?
We got one messed up backwards SOB elected as President and all he does is grow government and those dependent on government to keep control of the purse strings as it all goes down.
Also, all your money going to health care? Then you won't be taking vacations, eating out, buying good clothes or patronizing service industries. Economy dies with Obamacare.
You can figure that most middle-class families pulling in fifty to eighty thousand a year...will be three to five thousand in less capital for “free-spending” in 2014, and it’ll go up by fifty percent in 2015 (if you haven’t noticed the impending doom warnings).
Less pocket money for junior. Less vacation ideas. Less possible trade-in on a new car...maybe waiting another year or two. Less chance of buying a new 60-inch TV. On and on.
They really needed the Supreme Court to toss it out back in the summer of 2012. That would have fixed it all and prevented this mess from occurring. I think Roberts saw the wisdom...let the idiots run a bankruptcy scheme to the end.
There’s no legacy left in 2016....if you ask me.
BEFORE the recession, Richard Clark’s cleaning company in Florida had 200 employees, about half of them working full time. These days it has about 150, with 80% part-time.
So, he lost 50 full time workers, and 30 previously full-time positions are now part-time. Yep, that's totally great for business and the economy.
I am utterly convinced that those who are for schemes such as Obamacare are the mathematically challenged.
Sorry. No sympathy here. Maybe she should have studied the candidates and issues more before she polluted the system with her vote.
Roberts is not that smart IMO and should have just followed the constitution. This tax did not originate in the house.
Please allow me a contrarian view on the economy.
Yes, the private sector is under assault, from the impairment of credit, to the attempted squelching of energy, the printing of money, the growing deficit, and increasing regulations, and perhaps the worst-Obamacare.
But, capitalism is very, very resilient. I am a small business owner, and three years ago, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I may not make it yet.
Here are the few positives that only a few seem to be recognizing.
1-Businesses have, out of necessity, had to increase productivity. And that is happening. We have hunkered down, cut expenses, and rallied our employees.
2-Energy. In spite of Obama, there’s an oil and natural gas boom going on in this country. Cheap natural gas is bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. Gas prices are down 10 to 12 percent in the last couple of months. This is a huge benefit to consumers and business.
3-The underground economy has grown in leaps and bounds, and cannot be measured. I know this because my business brings me in contact with those working for cash. The growing welfare programs, including disability payments, is creating this phenomenon.
4-Banks are not lending, because of Dodd-Frank over-scrutiny and meddling, but non-bank entities have cropped up to fill the void.
Am I saying the economy is flourishing? Heck no. I am saying that capitalism-the private sector, is like a weed, that is very difficult to kill, even for the regime now in power determined to kill it.
Keep the faith. We’ll make it through this.
