Yeah. I can sympathize with you. While my husband hasn’t been laid off like you have been recently, he told me earlier today that the business he works for may need to close its doors before the end of the year due to being unable to keep up with the increased tax burden coming in January. The initial plan was for the company to begin a gradual transition out of business to be completed by Janurt 2014 when the Obamacare taxes kick in.

Not sure what we will do if he is out of work by the end of the year. Roll with the punches, I guess.

Today my husband’s employer called everyone for a meeting. They will let them know in a few weeks if they are closing the coal fired plant where he works. The company was holding off hoping Romney but now it’s full steam ahead on the war on coal.

Good news is that those liberal pukes will suffer the brown outs and increase cost of electricity. I hope it’s a cold winter and they freeze to death.

Some 0bama vagina will demand an abortion at a Catholic Hospital, and a Leftist court will force them to do so or close down. I’ll bet that this will come up and many Catholic Hospitals, 25% of the total, will close.

So many stories similar or this. It makes me wonder just how many companies are going to lay off large numbers of workers or just close up entirely by the end of the year. Very hard to think about. Very scary.

Did Romney’s Johnny One Note Campaign ever make mention of those 2013 tax increases that would take effect if Obama was retained ?

“So with another four years for President Obama..”

There’s another issue not being culled out.

If a company has x hours of work required to complete a set of tasks and has to cut the hours of some number of workers, they still have x hours of work to be done. That means more part-time workers must be hired and trained to complete the x hours of work.

That then requires additional supervisors because of the inefficiencies introduced by the additional workers, more people to hire, train, supervise, fire, etc.

This translates to higher costs which must be passed along in cost of goods, so the ultimate “beneficiary” of Obama’s policies is the consumer paying higher prices for the same stuff.

VA stands to lose about 200K in jobs because of layoffs from gov’t contracting.

Obama got the contractors to refrain from sending out layoff notices in October [in violation of the FEAR Act] so that he could win VA in the election. He said that the gov’t would pay any fines levied on the contractors due to the violation ...

Can’t wait for the weenies that voted for O to get their layoff notices that will now be forthcoming !!!

The stunning consequences haven’t begun to be understood by those who chose wilfull ignorance. I hope they enjoy their foodstamps and Obamaphones.

I’ve read down to comment #30, and people just keep adding more real world anecdotes.

It also translates into "new jobs" for BO to claim.

The next big thing to hit as far as layoffs go is the hotel and theme park industry. Nobody will be able to afford vacations and Disney World just opened a whole new wing. Good luck with that.

do not hire any democrat

I think that's a great idea - seriously. And I don't think there is any law against it.

Companies that do so could advertise they have a “Live Your Vote” Policy.

Company’s forced to layoff could announce they have to Obamasize their workforce...

Some cars in my general neighborhood have been sporting “I love Obamacare” bumper stickers.

Every voter knew what was coming when they voted for obama. They could see the high gas prices everytime they filled up their cars. Apparently they don’t care. Or they just don’t believe it. Now they will be getting an education in business 101 and a dose of reality.

The guy who owns the pizza shop. He buys boxes to put the pizzas in. He buys ingredients. He rents a building. His taxes go up and he can’t afford to pay for insurance or the fine so he goes out of business.

So the obama voter goes down the street to the other pizza joint and is shocked to see the pizzas now cost more. There are fewer companies buying boxes and ingredients so the costs went up and the pizza shop had to add the higher costs to his pizzas. Now the obama voter’s take own pay has dropped so he has to stop buying pizzas. Then the second pizza shop closes. Now all these laid off employees are looking for jobs and they’ll work for less money. So one of them takes the obama voter’s job. Welcome to reality, obamaboy.

Obama voters don’t care. They will still be blaming Bush because you never allow the poor black man who “cares” take the responsibility. Republicans will not hit this man hard out of fear of looking mean to the black “caring” president and will allow Bush to take the heat as absurd as it is.
When Obama leaves office in 2016 the media will do glowing stories on the first black president who passed the much desired and high effective healthcare bill that that helped poor uninsured people have coverage for the breast cancer. They’ll write stories on how he cared and tried to turn around the Bush legacy during his 8 years but fell short, if only he had another 8 years.
