Pennsylvania Community College of Allegheny County has already slashed the hours of 400 adjunct instructors, support staff, and part-time teachers to sidestep the Obamacare fines.

Probably 95% of them voted for Obama. But I can't take much pleasure from that, because everyone is getting screwed, including my family and friends, and the whole economy is going to tank.

Good heavens, has no other college done this? This particular college's actions keep getting repeated time after time. Makes it seem all alone.

"the government requires businesses to track worker schedules for three to 12 months in advance."

So what is the tax penalty penaltax if they don't?

Let’s say you own “Bob’s Machine Shop” with 52 employees and 2 divisions—engineering, and manufacturing. Could you circumvent the law by starting a new company, “Bob’s Engineering”, then divide the company in two with the machinists staying with the original company and the engineers working for the “new” company?

You would now have two companies, each with fewer than the arbitrary 50 designated in the law.

As a public service I would like to remind these adjunct instructors that although their pay has been cut they will still be required by law to buy health insurance or pay the Federal penaltax.

If anyone wants to see how workers are treated in a liberal utopia, just talk to some adjunct instructors. McDonalds workers are probably paid more, and they don't require master's degrees or more.

More work than it’s worth. Fire 3 and make the 49 work harder.

Obamacare is going to implode.

The legislation calls for the poor to be assisted in affording health insurance through the exchanges. Thirty some-odd states have already indicated they’re not going there. This leaves the Feds to provide an exchange, the funds for which were not authorized in the legislation.

We have the House, the Fed exchange will not be funded, meaning the poor will squeal like stuck pigs if the mandate is implemented. This means the mandate cannot be implemented in a consequence-free manner for the Democrats.

The Supreme Court upheld the mandate, but took away the ability of the feds to coerce the states into complying by declaring that Medicaid could not be withheld from the states.

Without the mandate, insurance companies have what is known as “adverse selection”, in other words, they will have to astronomically raise prices. I don’t think people will put up with it. There will be a “cliff” soon, if Obama doesn’t kick the can down the road, or sit down and negotiate for the reforms Republicans have already suggested. If Obama is obstinate, and he may well be, he will kill the Democratic party.

A huge rift is coming, no, a train wreck, in my opinion, between Obama and his own party.
