The profit motive, the survival motive, the consequences of Obamacare are now being felt in the economy...and get this...liberals are SURPRISED AND OUTRAGED!

Remember, these were the morons who swore they would move away from America if Bush won re-election...and then they didn't.

Conservatives WERE saying all along that if Obamacare isn't repealed, it would kill jobs. Now it IS killing jobs....just as predicted....and the mouth breathers are upset.

liberals are idiots.

It no longer makes any economic sense for a restaurant to hire full time employees. It costs less to hire 2 people for 30 hours than one person for 40 hours.

It is that simple.

Plus jobs move overseas because the government has made doing business in the US too expensive

I would like to support some good conservative restaurants in my area....but over all, we are not going to be eating out as much.

My family and I used to go out to eat after our worship services...every week.

Now, because of the decisions made last Tuesday, that will be cut AT LEAST in half...and maybe down to just once a month. We will not be spending anywhere NEAR as much...we want to starve the Obama Economy to death. And even if we don’t succeed, we will be at peace knowing OUR contribution to it was greatly diminished.

I asked for some advice on how to, on the spending side of things, “Go Galt” on Obama’s economy...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2956311/posts

We have already found almost $250 a month in spending to cut—by cutting back on cable services, phone, lawn services, etc. AND WE HAVE TOLD THE BUSINESSES THAT THE REASON WE ARE CUTTING BACK IS BECAUSE OF THE RE-ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA. Most of them are very sympathetic and understand completely.

Because that is precisely the goal of the Communists, divide and conquer the United States, and you are helping them with reckless and irresponsible speech furthering their goals to wreck the United States.

These were two notable comments.
I censored a comment.

Does it make zero sense to anyone else
that people angry over lay-offs would call for a
boycott? Wouldn’t that lead to MORE lay-offs? I
mean, I know these people haven’t taken an
econ class in their lives, but isn’t that basic
logic?

Even funnier, Applebees doesn’t
take food stamps. How the f*k do
Obama losers boycott it?

I would not be surprised at all if, starting with the next Congress, the Obama administration tries to punish those companies cutting hours to avoid the mandate. It won’t be presented as punishment, of course. But a hopey-changey speech about “thwarting the intent of affordable health care” would mean the same thing. The Senate, having gotten a good deal more liberal after election day, would surely play ball on such a move (Elizabeth Warren probably leading the charge).

Saw a post on my facebook today — they are also demonizing Papa John’s, showing pics of his gigantic mansion and how he refuses to add .14 cents to the price of a pizza to pay for healthcare and also plans to not offer health insurance.

So, the element of envy and jealous over large business continues. They see them as rich, thus, they should just hand it all over to the “workers” I guess — and now, especially in support of Obamacare — the new “cause.”

I hope all who voted for nobama have increased struggles. I know...that’s meanspirited. It is meanspirited to elect an anti-American to the presidency.
