How's That Hopey-Changey Thing Working Out For Ya?On Friday Oct. 5, the Department of Labor released it's monthly employment report with some surprising results. Jack Welch's knee-jerk tweet said out loud what a lot of professionals thought to themselves with regard to the string of data they had been showing a dropping unemployment rate. Most of this was due to people stopping looking for work, thus lowering the denominator part of the percentage calculation. The September number was just a drop too far in most people's eyes, so they viewed it as "manipulated". I was one of them. No longer, and here's a confirmation just out today as to why.
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve released it's monthly Business Outlook Survey, this AM, and, as is their custom, they included two special questions. Both were on employment practices and were designed to reflect businesses' hiring and staffing changes. It confirms two features of Obamacare that are just now being discovered by the populace at large.
First, under Obamacare, companies with 50 or more full time employees are under all the mandates proscribed by the Bill and subject to each and every fine and tax, so proscribed. One new wrinkle with regard to just what is a full time employee. Per Obamacare, if you work 30 hours a week or more, you're a full time employee. If you're CEO of a company with 1,000 or more employees, there is only one way to dodge it, self-insuring. If you're closer to that magic 50 level, is there a cheaper way around it? Everybody goes part time, or you hire temporary workers as needed. This worked so well in France, and they're at 35 hours a week.

Yes, we now have a 30 hour work week. The income disparity is going to explode if this sticks.
These idiots have to lay off The View and such. :lol:
The Number of Obama Supporters Who Have Never Heard of the 9/11 Benghazi Attack Will Terrify You
Americans everywhere are wondering how the Obama administration will be able to recover from such a significant and deadly intelligence error in Benghazi, Libya. The White House
reportedly ignored multiple calls for additional security at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, even after the U.S. and international intelligence community warned of increased terrorist activity in Libya.
Ultimately, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans lost their lives in a fiery terrorist attack on the 9/11 anniversary.
To make matters worse, the Obama administration repeatedly
blamed an anti-Muslim YouTube video for the attack for nearly two weeks, citing a make-believe demonstration outside the U.S. compound in Libya. Of course, it was later revealed that radical Islamic terrorists were behind the attack and the video had nothing to do with it.
However, as it turns out, some of Obama’s supporters don’t even know the Benghazi attack occurred in the first place — and as they say, what you don’t know can’t hurt you.
Revealing Politics went to an Obama event at Ohio University on Oct. 17 and asked a number of the president’s supporters about the Benghazi attack. The conservative site says “most of the event attendees” had never heard of the terrorist act.
“So, what do you guys think about the situation in Benghazi?” an interviewer with Revealing Politics asks two girls.
“I have no idea,” one of them replies, giggling her head off.
One man said he thinks “the Republicans” were responsible for the attack while an alarming number of others could not identify Ambassador Stevens or recall a terrorist attack occurring in Benghazi.
