I really love it when a liberal runs face first into reality, and has no clue that their policies created that reality. The latest victim of this cognitive dissonance is Donna Brazile, the current DNC vice- Chair. Nice Deb has info on Ms. Brazile’s recent brush with reality… Now, how could she had known that her premiums were going to go up? Could she have been warned? Well, friends, those types of warnings are a speciality here at the CH2.0. Elections have Consequences: Health Insurance Premiums to Hit $20,000?

ObamaCare Damage
Just in Case You Don’t Know Why ObamaCare Kills Jobs…
I’ve seen quite a bit of shock lately, as liberals see how ObamaCare is actually functioning in practice. With it’s key components kicking in in just a short period of time, employees are cutting hours, and laying off workers. While Conservative bloggers and other outlets have been discussing this for over a year, most of the public are now seeing the results, after it is too late. For a good wrap-up of what is happening, kindly consider this, from Chicks on the Right… In case you weren’t already painfully aware, here’s the skinny on why unemployment will skyrocket in the [...]
Beasts of Burden
“Who would have thought that it would fall to us, some of us in our so-called declining years (unless 60 is the new 40) to rescue the Republic? In our lifetimes, we have had the war in Vietnam, and the Reagan revival, and now we find the left has been tunneling under us all along. Last Tuesday, the platform we thought was solid collapsed as if its underpinnings had been eaten by termites, which they had.” — Greg Richards via The American Thinker It didn’t take long, did it? The next four years of misrule by Hussein Obama have yet [...]
ObamaCare Damage: Denny’s Franchisee Adds 5% Surcharge, Cuts Employee Hours
One of the ObamaCare damage scenarios that we have been describing since the law passed was that employees hours would likely be cut to be under 30 hours a week, to escape going out of business. And, just as predicted, that very scenario is unfolding at 40 Denny’s Restaurants in Florida. The Daily Mail has more… Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny’s and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers’ bills and will reduce his employees’ hours. With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January [...]
ObamaCare Damage: Parent of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouse to Limit Worker’s Hours
In the latest example of ObamaCare Damage, workers at select Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouses are seeing their hours cut to avoid the penalties under the big government health care law. The Orlando Sentinel has more… In an experiment apparently aimed at keeping down the cost of health-care reform, Orlando-based Darden Restaurants has stopped offering full-time schedules to many hourly workers in at least a few Olive Gardens, Red Lobsters and LongHorn Steakhouses. … In an emailed statement, Darden said staffing changes are “just one of the many things we are evaluating to help us address the cost implications health care reform will have on our business. There are still many [...]
ObamCare Damage: Medical Device Manufacturer to cut 1400 Jobs
It’s been a while since I wrote anything on ObamaCare Damage, but the reports keep trickling in. If you recall, there is a tax on medical devises in ObamaCare, basically making granny’s pacemaker more expensive. We’re now seeing more concrete evidence of the predictable results of such a tax. Kindly take a look at this, from The Boston Globe, via Hot Air. Boston Scientific Corp. said yesterday that it plans to eliminate 1,200 to 1,400 jobs worldwide during the next 2 1/2 years to free money for new investments, the Natick medical device maker’s second major round of cuts since [...]
