Exterminate all liberals and you’ll end welfare, obamacare, social security, medicaid, medicare, EPA, IRS, NEA, DOA, FCC and large variety of others, We’d be oil independent, have a strong military and be respected in the world once again, have plenty of jobs, secure borders with an immigration plan that works, men will be men, we’ll have winners and losers and the losers will work harder, schools will teach real history and what it takes to get ahead in life and the list goes on.
Find a cure for liberalism and America will prosper.

Funny remake of Nine to Five song spurred by Obamacare

Regardless of the birdcage-liner source, there are SOME aspects of Obamacare that are beneficial to the labor force. One of them involves “job lock” and unhireability - that is, that once a person becomes ill, they can’t ever change jobs; and, that people who were sick but who no longer are become unhireable. I have been fortunate so far (NOT to be confused with the present-day version of “fortunate”) that this hasn’t happened to me, but I work or have worked with people in this situation. They are “invisible”, but there are many. Republicans who actually want to run on getting back to exactly the way things were ignore them at their peril.
That’s 2.5 million people going from the tax payer rolls to the welfare rolls.

I could see new businesses springing up for medical tourism. Obamacare denying you a knee replacement..make a reservation for a trip to India to have your knee replaced at a state of the art facility by US trained doctors for a reasonable cost. Need cancer treatment...book a trip to the Caribbean and a stay at the Mayo Clinic’s newest facility.
Good points.
Having “health care” tied to employment for many folks is a bad artifact of WW2 wage controls. Has caused many problems.
Yes...that is happening...and will increase
I plan to start a consulting business in which I will consult with the newly unemployed to advise them how to spend all their newly found, liberating free time in optimal ways. Spend time with the family? Take vacations? Engage in outdoor activities? The possibilities are boundless. So boundless that some people might be at a loss to decide what would be best. And therein lies opportunity!
Shaila Dewan, B.A., Rice University in 1993.
I'm sure that she had intensive training in economics in her BA program.
What libs know about economics wouldn't even fill a thimble.
What would you expect from somebody whose mother couldn’t even spell “Sheila”? ;-)
Rice is another university that has become increasingly liberal. Very sad.
Yes, but do you really think employers are going to hire people with chronic conditions, especially in this economy? Government has completely distorted the labor market so that “fixing” one thing only creates bigger problems.
Unfortunately, it would take getting back to the way things were before government put its heavy hand on the economy, and that’s too far back to even contemplate. We are stuck in a royal mess now.
Thank you! The unintended consequences of governmental actions strike again.
Few ever question the logic of having your boss provide your health care - a concept so ridiculous that it could only be the result of governmental intrusion.
"Our economy needs risk-takers in order to grow. Thats why the government creates programs to mitigate risk. For example, insuring student loans softens the risk of investing in an education. The bankruptcy system lessens the risk of starting a business".
Blowing smoke up our a$$es for over 33 years.
Yea that’s a good thing we can all sit around and eat our Ramien noodles and be happy happy!

Being a cancer survivor and “cured” for 20 years is not a “chronic condition”.

A growth industry if ever I saw one. Establish it, and then franchise it.
