When you find one, Obama will take credit for creating it.
Grasping at straws.
Agreed.
Your posting brings out the huge economic knowledge disparity between the makers and the takers. This Nation has become one with more takers than makers. Call it wealth distribution, socialism, or whatever, without a healthy amount of makers a society’s life drys up. I believe that we are not to far from a tipping point where/when the takers will be fighting among themselves for what is left to take.
Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread, is going out of business after striking workers failed to heed a Thursday deadline to return to work, the company said.
Living in a rural area, we have only 3 fast food joints. The food is overpriced and ranges from disgusting to awful.
The 2 best take-away options are fried chicken from the convenience store chain or a rotisserie chicken from Walmart. The Chinese restaurant is so-so, but they do well w/portions large enough to share and a buffet (from which you can takeout, paying by the pound) both at an affordable price.
There is an increase in small mom & pop restaurants. I don’t know their politics, but given the voting patterns here, some must be owned by 0 voters. They offer everything from American diner fare to pizza and wings, plus a couple of trendy, more up-scale places that compete w/the one large traditional family-owned restaurant. Some have made a living for the past 4 years. Not mega bucks, but a family living.
It may be the end of the national chain of standardized frozen and microwaved offerings. The model just no longer works and the food has deteriorated in quality over the last 10 years. When McD’s for 2 averages around $16, there is room for local competition. However, the real bottom line killer, from what I am told, isn’t health insurance, since these places only have a few waitstaff, it is property, accident and liability insurance. It has already put one place out of business that I know of.
That pressure on congress will give way to single payer, it won’t reverse anything.
$6868 per employee ave for year.
$572 a month average.
Not long from now, we will all be discussing ‘the good old days’ when our employers gave us a decent health benefit at a reasonable cost.
Keep in mind that thousands of doctors and other health care workers are going to quit under Obamacare.
I’m waiting for the next show to drop: I expect:
Companies won’t be able to deduct Obamacare costs from their gross income as a normal business expense.
Same with Medicare. What's so good about a health insurance plan that requires you to buy supplemental insurance for what Medicare doesn't cover? Of course, this feature keeps AARP in business.
These idiots will continue to praise obama as the greatest president in history while they’re rummaging through fast food restaurants’ garbage cans looking for food.
Instead of want ads reading “with benefits” they’ll say “with government benefits”.
