The Obama administration unilaterally delayed the employer mandate for medium sized businesses today.
The law is such an inconvenient thing: The Obama administration unilaterally delayed the employer mandate for medium sized businesses today.
The government will now exempt companies employing between 50 and 100 full-time workers from complying with the mandate that they offer employees affordable health insurance by another year, until 2016. Companies that have 100 or more full-time workers, defined as employees who work more than 30 hours per week, still will have to begin complying with the mandate to offer such coverage in 2015 or face financial penalties of up to $3,000 per worker.
Gee, didn’t the Democrats and Obama shut the government down only three months ago, calling the Republicans terrorists for suggesting Obamacare be delayed and screaming that it was “the law of the land!”?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The Administration is increasingly engaging in activity that would shame banana republics, and from the MSM we get: crickets.
At least with Pravda, everyone knew that that news reporting agency was a mouthpiece for the government, our main stream media feigns an independence from government when the left is in power and totally acts it when the republicans hold office, and the American idol crowd eat it up!
Every delay is more and more proof to the Obama bots that this whole Obama care plan was written wrong and implemented badly. If not just a plain out bad idea.
They see the evidence and amongst each other talk about it in hushed tones but they will never ever ever admit that they and thus Obama were wrong.
And they will NEVER in a million years admit any conservative or republican was correct.
They would rather try for the next 10 years to fix the junk Obama care is than throw it out and come up with a compromise plan working WITH republicans.
They passed this junk all alone. Keep reminding everyone about that. They held all the power at the time and refused to let republicans join in.(Republicans wouldn’t have joined in anyways)
Except the IRS is requiring these employers to swear an oath that they are not refusing to hire workers because of Obamacare. Unbelieveable.
Is this the government telling businesses how to operate? That is the very definition of fascism.

“regimenting all industry”
The oath that the IRS wants sounds like they are preventing these companies from exercising their First Amendment rights to complain about how bad Obamacare is. Again, the definition of fascism.
And what happens if they fail to take the oath or are caught lying? It sounds like Obama is siccing the IRS on business (at least the small 50-100 employee businesses). How is it possible for any enterprise to *not* take expenses into account when considering hiring, expansion, or any aspect of its business? Even non-profits have to consider costs. It is how to avoid bankruptcy.
According to the article: “We think a phase-in approach is a way to administer the law better, and enhance overall compliance with the law.”
Slowly phasing in the heat on employers? So, they are trying to boil the frog:
