Government Shutdown Over Obamacare
-
I'm guessing this data is a little deceiving. All the other years have data for the entire year. 2013 just has up until now (or a month ago or whatever). I'm guessing the summer time is the biggest boom in part time jobs. Therefore the ratio at this point in the year would be expected to be higher when compared to a full year. More accurate data would be seen with a full year's worth of data.

As i understand it...if a company has enough part time employees to add up to a certain number of hours,
they still are required to get them medical insurance.
So, they will start letting part timers go.
This "social engineering" isn't about bricks and steel.
It's about human beings. And human beings do not do well under being controlled to the point of being
part of an "engineered society".

Obama core constituents are the ones bailing on this trainwreck - now even the IRS!!

I fear shutting down the government about as much as I feared sequester. And about as much as I fear being eaten by sparrows.

This is about the long and short of it. I could give a fuck. Shut it down.

Yet, heck is still locked in to supporting obamaocare with gusto.
That is .... that's.... beyond belief.

Let them shut it down. Let's get real: its not as if they work anyway.

I was working for the VA the last shut down. I was declared an essential employee and had to work. If you were declared unessential you were sent home. But you were payed for all the time you were off anyway as soon as the budget was passed. So it is a farce. People will end up getting free vacations.

If anyone sees a unemployed government worker tell them to turn in their smart phones.
we are no longer paying them for FREE cell phone services.

Well a friend of mine says she isn't going to get paid. She works for the CDC, you know that organization that tries to keep epidemics from killing us all.

No doubt that each and every slight problem with someone's paycheck will be all over the news. It's impossible to look at this situation without viewing it through the prism of demagoguery. Just like the sequester. The fiscal cliff. Again nobody can talk about anything without it being a matter of catastrophe.
And you must admit that it's ironic to hear these guys crying that Obamacare was legally passed under the rules and regulations of the US government and then bitch like little girls when the same system puts the kibosh on extending the credit...

All I can tell you is when Clinton was President and the same thing happened (I think 1994?) the people who were sent home, did get paid eventually when they returned to work. My friend was harassing me because he was off for awhile and still got paid for it.

How on earth does it come to this? I mean, if the government can't agree on how to change something, you leave it in place until there's an agreed upon policy? If there's no agreed upon changes, you don't change things. How does this affect things like the CDC and all the other government funded organisations? Does it include things like garbage collection? Public transport? The army?

It happened because Americans continue to elect people who are at the extreme fringes of their respective parties. It's the Repubs who turned 'compromise' into a bad word, even though it is just what the doctor ordered here. As a result, the people most capable of coming to agreements with each other have either retired in frustration or have been elected out of office. The Republican Brotherhood has hijacked that party, and until American voters punish them in the next election, we only have ourselves to blame.

It doesn't affect local or State government. Public Transportation is local, likewise garbage collection. Doesn't affect Defense. Those agencies considered 'essential' will continue.

Didn't the president just say that he had no intentions of compromise? Didn't I just hear a tirade from Chuck Schumer saying the exact same thing?
Let's be honest, Osiris. Compromise to you people is doing what you want.
