The GOP has to kill the ACA now, because once major portions go into effect, all too many people are going to see that it has far more pluses than minuses, and that the minuses can be fixed.
Your response is highly emotional
Your response is highly emotional
We're being emotional? OK, maybe if you include laughing at you as "emotion." We're explaining hiring to you and you're getting upset. You are lecturing to people who actually hire and manage people something about which you have no actual experience in at all. But hey, you heard it on MS-NBC, it must be true.
Last month, leaders of three of the largest labor unions sent a scathing letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),
warning that if the problems with the insurance program are not addressed,
the new health care law will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits,
but destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.

So why the name "Affordable Care Act" if there are no jobs that can "afford care"???
the new health care law will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class. -
when Cons said that we were fear mongers
When you and the president sought our support for the Affordable Care Act, you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threat, said the letter. We have been strong supporters of you. In campaign after campaign we have put boots on the ground, gone door-to-door to get out the vote, run phone banks and raised money to secure this vision. Now this vision has come back to haunt us.
Again, we fucking warned you.
AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka echoed those concerns on Thursday, telling reporters during a breakfast event that the administration and Congress made some serious blunders in drafting the legislation that must be fixed to quiet the growing union discontent. -
From labors perspective, arguably the biggest problem is that the law when fully implemented will create an incentive for employers to keep their workers hours below 30 hours a week.
The Affordable Care Act will eventually penalize firms employing 50 or more people that dont offer health insurance or that offer coverage below minimum standards. This is the so-called employer mandate. The White House this summer put that provision on hold until 2015 to give medium and large employers the opportunity to better prepare and plan for the changes and reporting requirements. But once that provision finally takes hold, union leaders say that companies will cut the hours of workers below 30 hours per week to get under the 50-worker threshold for providing health care coverage.
With salaries remaining relatively static during this tepid economic recovery, a cutback in hours would be tantamount to a substantial pay cut for many union and other workers who are struggling to make ends meet.
Yeah, we were all fucking racist for TELLING you this was going to happen.
I'd like to say; "I hate to tell you we told you so."
but
We Told You So!!!
What a GREAT opportunity for Repubs. Just think. Now that unions are mad at Obamacare, you Rethugs will be able to show the unions the Rethug plans for healthcare, and seeing as how I am sure they are much superior to the current plan, all those union members will now vote for Rethugs.
Oh happy days oh happy days.

If it's so good for us why are the democrats seeking and getting exemptions? Why do I get the feeling this was really just to screw over republicans?

It is simply a step toward their true goal of Socialized everything........
And suddenly the 'nuts are siding with big Labor, just so they can bash Obama again.
How utterly unsurprising.
In 1957 I was working 48 hours a week.
By 1958 I changed employer and it was 44 hours a week, by working six day shifts and five night shifts.
Then a couple years later it went to forty hours per week.
I saw nothing detrimental to my life style through those changed. In fact, I welcomed the reduced hours.
When I found that the reduced hours left me in a financial hole, I changed employer and fixed it.
I did that as an immigrant with limited language skills, so I have absolutely no sympathy for the cry babies who cry racism, demand reparations and blame all their self-imposed woes on slavery that was ended by a Republican President over 150 years ago.

The first part of your post i commend you on. The last part you tripped and fell down. Slaves werent freed then everything was fine. As an immigrant you must not be aware of the history of racial oppression in this country after slavery was outlawed.

So, are you saying that as an immigrant I have no knowledge of hate and discrimination?
Tell me when was the last time those crybabies I referred to earlier were subjected to signs at windows at potential employers saying that "NO blacks need apply". I saw signs saying "No Hungarians need apply", because when the Revolution of 1956 opened the doors of prisons to free political prisoners, they also let free killers, murderers and rapists, who wasted no time to find refuge in a free country, and even more so, wasted no time to resort to their criminal ways, thereby ruining chances of those of us who just wanted to work, learn English and be part of our new country.
None of the reparation cry babies had to face what I faced. They all had the protection and the artificial and undeserved advancement of affirmative action.
I don't give a damn about what the grandparents of today's cry babies had to face. There is a good chance that if they were here today, they would be ashamed of childish and petulant pieces of crap like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Cornell West.
Not to mention the cry babies on this board.

Why do they want socialism if the first thing they do is ask for an exemption?
Are you sure that's what they want?
If big labor is waking up and learning, then yes I could be on their side to an extent.
But it would be more like they were meeting us part way......
