So expect it to continue.

If enough states choose to do this, the entire program would collapse — much to the shame of the GOP leadership in Congress, which has had the power all along to stop Obamacare in its tracks by refusing to fund it.

This administration decides which laws to enforce seemingly based upon the politics of the moment. They could just as easily decide to enforce the law again at any moment just to “punish” any perceived political opponents.

It’s sad that a President would treat the citizens of his own country with such disregard, but this is what we’ve got.

The people of America have been sold down the river, paddles not included.

Evolution?

Devolution?

Choose one and explain.

Say there is one worker and right now and they work 35-40 hours a week depening on the work that needs to be done. Well, now another worker needs to be hired to do 5-10 hours of work.

The second worker wont be happy with 5-10 hours. So now, the workers compete for the 40 hours of work. Will the first worker still work 30 hours a week or will some of their hours go to the new worker? Most likely, the first worker will see their hours cut well below 30 and the new worker wont be working 5-10 hours but 20.
