Retail workweek hits 3-year low in ObamaCare shift

Retail workweek hits 3-year low in ObamaCare shift. “Firms with at least 50 workers face fines based on the number of employees who receive ObamaCare subsidies, which are only available to people who lack affordable coverage from an employer. But those fines… won’t apply for part-time workers, which the law defines as 30 hours per week.” It’s a bad omen when your “signature” legislation is too big to fail and too stupid to succeed.

  • We're wasting too much time responding to crowley's inane statements and non sequiturs; it's like the squawking of an annoying parrot. Maybe it's time to ban him and his endlessly repeated crapola.

  • Like nobody saw this coming, except for Creepy Crowley who couldn't find his welfare enriched ass with both hands and a flashlight.

    • Hey DUMBASS, Oboza care is a GOVERNMENT mandate, nothing CORPORATE about it.

      Shouldn't you be looking into credit card scam sites right now?
      Gotta keep that welfare fraud going somehow, right?

      • Don't you think that Obamacare is a front by Corporate Greed as an excuse to raise everyone's rates?

        • No. I think Obama is a front for several someones who want to destroy the country and turn it into a communist hell hole. And like Kruschev warned, they won't have to do anything. We'll do it to ourselves.

          • If everyone's mandated to have insurance, they can charge whatever they want to fuel their greed.

          • You REALLY have no clue. It's about mandating a government run single payer "health care" you simpering moron.
            The only positive note may be the fact that low IQ non producers such as yourself MIGHT be the first ones the death panels go after.

            Drink some spot remover and disappear.

          • And taking on all of the pre-existing conditions clients will bankrupt them. Does it trouble you to be wrong about everything?

          • Which is the goal, so they can force everyone onto the single payer government system and force all healthcare professionals to be government employees and union members forced to pay dues to union thugs.

          • SAnd if you think THAT is a good idea, look at Medicare and Medicaid. The fraud is completely out of control and fewer and fewer doctors are wiling to take these patients because reimbursement sucks so badly they can't pay THEIR bills. And they aren't corporations, so don't go there.

          • Isn't Medicare part of social security with people paying into it to utilize when they retire? If you think people paying into it during their entire career is fraud, then I don't know what is.

          • That part isn't fraudulent. The government stealing the money paid in to support the system, then scream it is an entitlement we don't deserve is the fraud. Again, perpetrated by the government.

          • Of course that's the goal and it's going to happen thanks to 100 years of unrelenting effort by the progs to ruin this country.

          • 1913; Federal Reserve Bank founded. THE original Corporate Greed that hijacked America's money supply.

          • 100 years ago I thought it was mostly the Robber Barons and that ilk. Did we even HAVE corporations 100 years ago?

          • You mean 100 years of Corporate Greed?

            No you stupid welfare whore, if that was what she meant, that would be what she said. Do try to remove your cranial cavity from your anal orifice.

          • Creepy Crowley you need to go to E-bay right now, they have a new shipment of Ron Paul blow up dolls just for you..and you can get the Bob Menendez one for mommy...

  • As the consequences of this monstrosity begin to sink in, look for the Left to renew their caterwauling on behalf of a single payer system, aka Socialized Medicine.
