(CNSNews.com) – Once again acting without Congress, President Obama has unilaterally changed his signature health insurance law, delaying its employer mandate – the second time he’s done this -- to 2016, after the mid-term elections.
BUT: To be eligible for the additional delay, the Obama administration says an employer “may not reduce the size of its workforce or the overall hours of service of its employees” unless it can justify those reductions to the Internal Revenue Service.
On Monday, the administration issued new regulations saying that employers with 50 to 99 workers don’t need to provide minimum essential coverage until 2016 – two years beyond what’s written in the law.
But the regulations also say that effective yesterday, employers may not shed employees or work hours just to get below the 100-employee threshold – and thus avoid Obamacare’s penalties for another full year.

This is what “focused like a laser creating jobs” looks like.
So...at what point are legislators going to be sufficiently incensed by the usurpation of the Constitution by this criminal enterprise Administration that they will get off their haughty a$$e$ and do something?
The American people ought to be warming the tar kettles and plucking the chickens by now. It’s a sad commentary that they are not.
Congress is full of fat and happy drones.
Can an employer cut hours and/or employees without signing the illegal document and just keep on as though the mandate was in effect?
Would you want to sign off on a three year agreement on hiring in troubled times in the economy?
If I’m an employer with health benefits, my initial reaction to all this confusion and uncertainty is to just cancel my health plans for employees and pay the fine.
State control of the economy?
Where have we seen this bomb before?
Camel’s nose under the tent on giving FedGov veto power over private firm hiring and firing.
“Certify that you did NOT fire that employee because he was black.”
“Certify that you did NOT fire that employee because he was gay.”
“Certify that you did NOT fire that employee because she was a woman who took 39 unauthorized sick days to care for her children at home.”
etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Even the smarty-smartest lawsuit is not going to wind its way thru the appeals courts to SCOTUS until after Barry is comfortably retired on an Oahu golf course.
And he damn well knows it.
Because Congress is too gutless to do anything more than bend over for this constitutional buggerer.
THAT tears it!!
Nanny government?
For those who didn’t see the Kelly File:
The first video is with Marc Thiessen on the first segment on the Kelly file when this new effort by Obama to regulate the workforce is discussed.
The second video below is Judge Nap. Judge Nap was clearly shaken by this new Obama over-reach.

Big Labor finally got to “O”
England now has more freedom than USA w/ NHC.
When you get to selectively enforce the laws, you can use the laws as a club to make people do whatever you want.
“Nice company you have there, be a shame if it went bankrupt. Remember what happened to that guitar company....”
I like it. Dear Drone Representative -—————
