Obama supporters will soon learn the hard way that elections have consequences. Unfortunately we all must suffer...even those who knew better.

Low information and blindly loyal liberal Progressives will soon find out that putting Obama and his henchmen back in the WH for another four years (at least), will have dire consequences for all of us.  The Democrats talk such a wonderful game about caring for the poor and middle-class, but its all smoke and mirrors.  They pander to classes of voters. They spin lies to bolster their narrative.  Dems have kept poor people poor while making them poorer, and have they added to the ranks of the poor through entitlements.  Why do we have nearly 50 million people on food stamps?  Shouldn't we be in a recovery by now?  Damn, its George Bush's fault. I forgot.  Impeachment will be our only salvation.  We must make one of his dozens of impeachable offenses stick.

Obamacare Gets Juicy: Obama hipsters learn health care law comes at a heavy cost

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 28th, 2013 at 08:30 AM

Yesterday, some person (or group) tweeted to me a link to a campaign (allegedly) by and for the current and former employees of Juicy Couture to demand “just hours.”

You see, according to the campaign, the hip and trendy Juicy is doing what other companies are doing in an effort to cope with the burdensome regulations and costs of the “Affordable Health Care Act” (aka ObamaCare)–the company is downsizing its full-time payroll to (mostly) part-time workers.

While employees seem shocked that their ranks are thinning from 128 full-time employees to 19, they really shouldn’t be outraged at their employer, as opposed to angry with themselves for supporting such an inanely-written law.

When Darrell and I started at Juicy Couture a few years ago, many of us were full-time. Now, only 19 of the store’s 128 employees are full-time! Not only are they firing full-time workers and replacing us with a part-time workforce, just this month Juicy capped all part-time workers hours at 21 hours per week. We quickly realized that Juicy Couture is doing everything they can to not take care of its workers.

See, it was hard enough for us to make ends meet in New York City as full-time retail workers. But by keeping hours under 30 per week, Juicy Couture will no longer be required to offer their workers affordable health care – part of the Affordable Health Care Act’s plan to make sure more working Americans have basic health care.

Further, we were told we’re only eligible for paid time off in case we’re sick or have other responsibilities if we work 1400 hours in one year. We did the math, and realized part-time workers would never hit the 1400 hours in a year at 21 hours per week. This means that the vast majority of Juicy Couture’s workers will not ever get one single paid sick day. [Emphasis added.]

Since it is probably a safe bet that many of Juicy Couture’s (former) employees voted for Barack Obama, it appears that they are learning three things simultaneously:

1. The law of unintended consequences;
2. Elections do matter; and
3. There’s no free lunch.

In their case, as with so many other Obama supporters, one might add: Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.

Just wait until the other shoe drops.
