Refer to posts 3 & 4 below. Nothing has changed my outlook over the past two years or for the next four and now that the ObamaCare candy has all been distributed and the vinegar is about to be dispensed on an unsuspecting public, especially the foolish youth who will have half their payroll from their first job deducted just to pay for gold-plated health insurance they don't need and the top marginal individual tax rate, we will now see the final nail pounded into the coffin containing the cadaver of liberty and prosperity.
The wave of layoffs announced immediately after the election represent prudent planning by businesses and business owners who know they are in for accelerated punishment over the next four years as the Democrats try to blame all the worlds' ills on them and make them pay "their fair share". Where they have already been operating in survival mode they will now correctly conclude that survival is not possible or worth the effort and join the half of America who are takers rather than continue to try to be a a vilified innovator, producer and employer.
The bulk of primary care physicians ObamaCare is relying upon for all that access to affordable and wellness care are in their fifties, a plurality of them having only hung in the past four years on the chance that things might improve over the next four and now that those hopes are dashed they will be retiring, selling their homes and moving to the vacation home in Vermont or Wyoming. Further, where the "freeloaders" used to have to go to emergency rooms to get their free care they will now have the same access to private offices of physicians who last had to deal with dirty, smelly bums, winos and the mentally disturbed when they were going through their residency decades ago. That is not the type of practice they worked all these years to achieve and neither is it the place where ordinary patients will want to go. So, government clinics with dispassionate unionized health care workers immune from competition and dismissal are inevitably in the future for all of us but the wealthy and connected liberal elite. Your dad needs a new hip so he can keep golfing twice a week? Tough luck, take a pain pill or, better still, just wither away.
In the same manner many hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of small businesses, businesses of two or three family members who if they just hire one employee for the kitchen or decide it is safe to start spending money on advertising again would result in millions of new hires, will similarly decide that enough is enough. The auto parts store owner who has kept his boat on blocks the past four seasons or cut his home cleaning service to once a week from three will keep those policies in place and most likely cut his already lean workforce more thanks to new healthcare taxes and regulations. As I posted years back, when you see these guys put their boats back in the water or lease a new luxury car you will know recovery is on the way, otherwise you can forget about it.
Though there will be great pain for countless unsuspecting millions who were sold the big lie, that you can have everything you want and somebody else will pay for it, for me and millions of others who, due to our individual resourcefulness and reliance upon ourselves rather than government, we will get by just fine no matter how the mendacious, demagogic political masterminds try to bring us down, it will be amusing to see them get so spanked by their own foolishness and ignorance.
Maybe they will learn their lesson, but I doubt it. It reminds me of a great line in the movie "15 Minutes", where a Russian criminal on a murderous rampage in New York watches a TV interview of a serial killer who got off by claiming insanity and comments, "That is what I love about America... nobody is responsible for anything", and that of course applies first and foremost to the blameless, finger-pointing Crybaby In Chief, King Obama.
