Work Hours Getting Cut due to Obamacare
Another negative consequence of Obamacare that was pointed out by conservatives, but ignored. The article gives birth to another great catchphrase, “If you like your workweek, you can’t necessarily keep it, either.” From the article: The survey by Public Opinion Strategies found: Some 31 percent of franchise businesses and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses say they […]
DEMS and the ACA Grandfather Clause – They knew all along millions would lose their plans!
Very disappointed with the DC DEM politicians that are clamoring for changes to the grandfather clause of the ACA. They knew all along people would lose their plans and now they are shocked, shocked, to find out what is in it. They are compounding the earlier lies with the claims of ignorance now. Either way, […]
Three Years Later and We Are Finding Out What Is In The Healthcare Bill
Rising premiums, increased taxes, mountains of regulations, religious freedoms curbed, expensive subsidies, loss of coverage, employer job losses, and doctors planning on retiring are just a few of the unexpected (to the uniformed) consequences of Obamacare.

Sequester Irony – White House Aides Delinquent on Taxes Along with Obama’s Well Heeled, Connected Friends
Everyone needs to pay their “fair share” according to Obama. Maybe his executive aides should be the first pockets picked for the $833,000 in back taxes. After them, try collecting the $3.5 Billion or so owed by federal employees. Americans are bombarded each day by the President and his minions messages of greed by the “rich” while […]
Lies and Contradictions Concerning White House Tours Cancellation
The White House can’t seem to get their stories straight. The White House has cancelled public tours “due to the sequester” until further notice. However, the President’s Press Secretary can’t seem to get everyone on the same page. Obama would have us believe this decision was made without any input or knowledge on his part? […]
Democrats Budget Proposal Requires Willing Suspension of Disbelief
Patty Murray, the Democratic head of the Budget Committee, released their budget proposal that call for spending to increase to $5.7 trillion in 2023.
