This one kills me:
Its a tweet from this girl @Raised_Right
My dad's stadium/golf course lighting business has 55 employees. He too, will have to lay employees off due to Obamacare. Can't afford it.
A stadium/golf course lighting business is a completely unstainable consumption based business that got us into trouble in the first place. Why would you be stupid enough to grow a completely unsustainable flukey business like this to 55 employees in the first place. I guarantee this type of business would have never existed during the Reagan years
Regardless, it is still a company that employs people. People that may own home, people that have families and ,ouths to feed, people who may have kids in college, people who were previously laid off from another job and this was all they could find...
It.Employs.People.
One of those listed, "CVPH Medical Center" is a relatively small, community based hospital. I would encourage you to read that article, published today in the Plattsburgh Press-Republican. They laid off 17, and nowhere is the election, stated as the cause. Many were managerial, like most health care facilities aren't top heavy, and ancillary positions. What they did attribute this cut back to was, low patient count, and a process of revamping the system....Nowhere does it reference the election, directly, or indirectly........if one referenced facility proves inaccurate, that, in my opinion is enough to discredit the entire article.
A lot of defense contractors were told to hold up layoffs until after the election. The full ramifications of obamacare are just starting to ripple. The disaster is just beginning. Wait until our credit rating is hit again when these fools raise the debt ceiling to spend more money.
Layoff announcements are high this time of year all the time. Corps who make such plans NOW, assuming year end (fiscal) is 12/31 , can accrue the severence costs THIS year, the reduced payroll improves next years profits. Bonuses are often based on beating the base year, so that helps them BOTH ways. If 2012 has not been good in terms of profits, might as well add 2012 EXPENSE, lowering 2013 costs, as that will spiral 2013 bonus payouts UP, (since 2012 profits will be the BASE year in 2013).

Are these folks burning the midnight oil just to lay off their workers?
