    The people in the other Washington are so out of touch with reality. In the real world, over 120 of my PT workers lost hours. Luckily I am in a military community where a lot of military spouses and the active duty members themselves like to work PT, and want HOURS, not benefits. The other large % of the PT employees were college students.

    When word of the bill was spreading, we were required to make sure these folks NEVER went above 28 hrs per week. Some these people we hitting 40 hrs/wk and as long as we did not do it for 8 straight weeks, they were fine.

    That was a lot of cash taken straight out of the pockets of people who did not want or need healthcare.

    The people in the other Washington know exactly what they're doing in most cases

    They want to hurt the economy for some perverse grander global vision

    But if employers are cutting part time workers hours that's more money into the job creators pockets which they will then use to hire more employees. That means more job and less unemployment. It's called trickle down economics. Look it up.

    I am against health care, because I hope I die before I get old.

    Forgive the low tweak.

    He should've used AND instead of OR.

    I like to pretend that the other Washington is different than the state of Washington, even though both are run by drippy cunts. I do that.

    Actually, it's not.

    Indeed, it's actually the opposite.

    Please...I'm very interested in your math on this. Let's hear it.

    Indeed. Please tell us how massive government regulation and taxation (as I'm sure you're aware, Obamacare, its mandates, penalties and fees have been ruled tantamount to taxation) squares with Supply Side Economics? Didn't think so.

    Or just simple math... If I have one person working 30 hours a week for $10 an hour, and I cut that person to 15 hours and hire an additional person for 15 hours a week.... Well, if you can't see that that doesn't line the owners pocket, I can't help you.

    Plus, "Trickle down" isn't a real thing in economics. It's political BS.

    AHCA AKA "Obama Care" aside, no one can defend the amount of corruption and waste in health scare as well as the pharmaceutical companies right now...

    We prescribe 18 times more meds for kids with ADHD than do the French..total racket..

    Is that corruption or just really shitty parenting tied with laziness...?

    Parents who tried babysitting their kids with TV and now attempt to suppress their misguided energy with drugs, wouldnt this kind of thing continue with out without obamacare/AHCA or any other thing?

    (yes I fucking know some kids really do need it)
