Wal Mart has been using the "short hours so i do not have to pay insurance" almost from the beginning so that is nothing new.
Taxes were going to go up no matter who got elected.
Small business owners have gotten rich off the sweat of the Hispanic population for 50 years. They have hired and fired up and down for that whole time to make sure that their pockets were full. I have witnessed it. Nothing new.
The people on this planet are putting out about 5.2 tons of co2 per person per year. If that is not turned around to close to zero by 2050 there will be little to live for on this planet. Denial denial denial. That can not be happening because big oil and big coal tell us it is not happening. If there was a huge asteroid heading straight for the planet earth and it is going to hit in the year 2050 would you panic and try to come up with a solution that would throw it off course. Same scenario different cause. It is panic time people because you or your grand children are going to suffer the greatest disaster since man first rose out of the swamp.
Laugh or cry, it does not matter but panic about self survival is going to be miniscule to annihilation.
If I thought anyone would watch them I would put up some documentary films that show proof of what I am talking about starting with Bill Gates who is putting a huge amount of effort and money into turning things around. If there is anyone here that knows they are not more intelligent than Bill Gates and all the scientist, let me know and I will start posting the films. The word needs to get out. It is not for me or a lot of you because we will be dead, it is for the survival of my grand children and your grand children. People think that we can just keep rolling down the same road but we are going to hit a rock that no one can cut up and make beautiful.
Have a great day Jim

Mr. Robert E. Murray's Prayer, as shared with his workers:
Dear Lord:
The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.
We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.
My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.
The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, "To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love."
Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.
Amen.
---
Mr. Murray's Outline of America's Future:
What I foresee in America, by Robert E. Murray:
- Drastically reduced economic activity
- Reduced electric power consumption
- Even more drastically reduced coal markets with even worse coal pricing
- Total destruction of the coal industry by 2030
- Enactment of 12 regulations pending from the Obama Administration from the U.S. EPA alone
- Per Sen. James Inhofe, three (3) regulations - greenhouse gas, utility MACT and coal ash - will cost America $600 billion alone
- Likely a carbon tax will be forced to subsidize the government and "receivers" (Obama supporters) in the total destruction of the coal industry, again, the latter as early as 2030
- All coal companies are performing drastically worse than their CEOs and Boards want to report, and this is understandable with their concerns for their stock prices and refinancing
- Most public companies will not be able to continue to emphasize any positive that they have, while avoiding the negatives in their statements and opinions
- The markets will soon take this ability away from these public CEOs and Directors
- Of course, private companies will abandon this business
- We must prepare for this today, and we cannot bleed cash waiting for our competitors to be eliminated
- We must totally go into a survival mode and generate all the cash that we can from whatever we still have left that can help us
- We must tear down all structures in Murray Energy and reassemble them
- While putting Murray Energy into a survival mode, I will be fighting allegations from radical Obama supporters that you know are blatantly false and were inspired only to shut down our opposition to them on behalf of our employees, your area, and our country
- We must be passionate and austere in all that we do.
Murray Energy Corp.
Robert E. Murray
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Denial denial denial denial. I said this morning that the coal and oil companies are going to keep telling everyone that there is nothing to worry about as far as the environment being totally destroyed.
Short term gratification from all of us spoiled Americans that have gone down the road of "we will fix it tomorrow as long as I do not have to give up anything". Guess what, there is not going to be a choice like we had Tuesday. There is going to be some s..t happen that would make this panic look like a picnic. Do you really think that we can continue living high on the hog because we were the first so we deserve it. We are just a blip on the universe time scale and the planet does not give a damn whether we live or die. It will survive. If you plan to stock up for the long run you probably better plan on stocking up for about 100,000 years so you can make it back to the point of being able to survive here.
Denial denial denial. Instant gratification is not fast enough. Burn baby burn.
That is a really pretty map Bill. What did it look like before the election? It looks pretty much the same except for blue and red being a little more chopped up than it was before. The coast line has not changed yet but there are a lot of people that are going be wondering where all that land went that used to be there. The Democrats have most of the coast so it will be easy for the Republicans to take over because all of the Democrats are going to drown.
Has not changed my opinion of you Bill. You are an intelligent man with some good opinions and I am not going to fault you because some of yours do not coincide with mine. You are a short term fixer and I am a long term fixer. They both need to be fixed and they both need a lot of people getting together to work on a solution. One thing that I am pretty sure of is that everyone but the rich are going to see a setback from the instant gratification life style. Things are going to be tough for a lot of people but hopefully something good will come of this in the way of long term gratification called life instead of death. Jim

My doctor has decided to retire, while she's still allowed to, and the clinic she founded is likely to fold. My employer will most likely be forced to change insurance providers as well. It seems that with obamacare rules, a lot of larger healthcare networks are severing ties with outside insuance companies and only accepting their own insurance programs. It all means less choice of physicians and much longer waits for care. My employer expects a premium increase of $1-2K that they will most likely split with employees in lieu of any pay increase in 2013.
Jim, I hope you're right about the long haul, assuming we make it that far.

I saw an article about the layoffs at Murray Energy. One of the biggest coal polluters in the NE, and the article claims that their business wasn't doing so well due to competition from Natural Gas. It's Obama's fault that coal prices can't compete with Natural Gas prices? I guess Obama goes down the line telling energy companies what to charge now... after months of Republicans telling everyone that energy prices were the market... when gas prices dropped and it made Obama look good. Can't take it back now:).
Here's the most insightful comment to the article: "What a worthless piece of trash. Did he cut his paycheck before firing some of the people who's work made him rich?
Pigs like him belong in Hell."

Have a great day Jim Well, Natural Gas prices are driving coal out of business. It's not politics, it's business. Coal prices can't compete, and coal companies can blame Obama if they want to, but the market drives prices and like many Republicans, he is well aware of the fact, just uses it to make it a political statement. I'm sure the coal industry is sorry that coal won't be getting subsidies from Obama to destroy our planet as Romney likely promised him. I feel bad... ok, I don't really.

Bill, you reading the lies again? You'd think after their being 180 degrees wrong on Romney's win potential, you'd start looking at your sources as the BULLSHYTE they are, but clearly not. This article from 5pm tonite: www.cnn.com/2012/11/09/politics/obama-fiscal-cliff/index.htmlWashington (CNN) -- Flush with re-election vigor, President Barack Obama called Friday for House Republicans to immediately pass a bill already approved by the Senate that would maintain current tax rates for middle-class Americans while increasing taxes of wealthier citizens.
In his first public comments since winning Tuesday's vote, Obama expressed openness to negotiate with Congress on how to deal with pending tax hikes and spending cuts that create the so-called fiscal cliff facing the economy at the end of the year.
However, he also repeated his longstanding demand that Republican opponents to any kind of tax increase relent to the will of the White House and the Senate -- and now the American people -- in letting tax rates increase on income over $250,000.
Nobody in either party wants the middle class, identified as families making less than $250,000 a year, to see taxes increase at the end of the year when lower rates set during the administration of former President George W. Bush will expire, Obama said.
"That makes no sense. It would be bad for the economy," he told a White House gathering of what aides described as middle class Americans. "Let's extend middle class tax cuts right now. Let's do that right now. That one step would give millions of families, 98% of Americans, 97% of small businesses, the certainty that they need going into the new year."
Noting the Senate previously passed a bill to extend the tax cuts to the middle class, but not income over $250,000, Obama said: "All we need is action from the House."
"I've got the pen," he said, reaching into his pocket to hold one up as the crowd applauded. "I'm ready to sign the bill right away. I'm ready to do it." He's flying to Asia to dodge the fiscal cliff that only requires a vote from the House? You mean if he sits in the White House holding his breath, the Republican House will move faster to AGREE to an issue that NOT ONLY was polled to be supported by the VAST majority of Americans, but which a 332 Electoral Vote LANDSLIDE gave Obama a mandate for? Really?

My employer expects a premium increase of $1-2K that they will most likely split with employees in lieu of any pay increase in 2013. Jim, I hope you're right about the long haul, assuming we make it that far. Lee Lee, ObamaCare does not fully kick in til 2014. There has been so much fearmongering from the right, it's not a surprise that it's scared many doctors. It's a boogeyman or monster under the bed, no one knows what will happen because it has not yet happened. Doctors are busy people, the vast majority do not have time to read non-industry news, let alone political news. Nor, like most layman, do not understand what they are reading, they do not have the understanding of our political system, historical record or understanding of where to find direct information from. We will not know the full impact of the law til the law takes effect, no one will. And just like cleaning out a neglected and messy closet always requires a BIGGER mess before it's sorted and organized, any large change to a system will too. If your doctor was old enough to retire anyway, you wouldn't have been able to go to him for the rest of your life, Obamacare or no Obamacare. This was an issue that concerned me back in 2005 actually... the fact that fewer and fewer kids want to become doctors, due to the COST of Medical School. It was a decision my kids had to make... both my kids could go into Medicine, they had both the grades and the aptitude.... and neither will. An engineering student or computer science will spend 1/10 the money for education, and 1/2 the time... to make the same money at the other end. With 0% liability whatsoever by comparison. Why would any kid choose to be a doctor today? This is COST of education crisis, there ARE going to be fewer doctors just because kids can't AFFORD to go to Medical School. It's all about the money. That's why doctors are getting older and older, and no one is replacing them. The average cost of a Medical school degree is $180,000 today. The program is so grueling, you cannot work while studying. ZERO possibility of a part time job to help offset. So once you add in eating and putting a roof over your head, you need $300,000 to attend Medical School for 4 years of dedicated study from the best and brightest in the nation. Most of the time, you cannot borrow that $300,000, there's a limit even from the Gov't. So WHO goes to Medical School anymore? It makes no sense for any kid to do it financially. AT ALL. It is a completely unrelated issue to Obamacare, it's a national crisis tho. It scares me. Both my kids are gifted, and can go anywhere they want. They have brilliant friends too... and not a single one wants to be a Medical Doctor. Of the kids in their generation (and we're talking about a HS that has nearly 4000 students)... neither know A SINGLE kid who will go on to be a Doctor. NOT ONE interested. They have friends studying microbiology, computer science, programming, engineering... top of the class kids DO NOT want to be Doctors. The ONLY way we'll have more Doctors is if the Gov't will step in to pay for it. Few parents can afford 4 years of college, then $300K to send their child to medical school. And the kids DO NOT WANT to come out the other side $500,000 in debt, with a $5000 monthly payment on their education due the month they graduate. At this rate, we'll have no more doctors in the US. It's not Obamacare, it's the cost of Medical School.

Actually my doctor isn't much older than me, and through her professional circle has an intimite understanding of Obamacare, that's why she's packing up before 2014. Not retiring entirely, just leaving general practice for a something that will allow her to have a normal life. Sad because she has assembled a team of amazing individuals. Doctors hire people to manage the business side of their practices, and to decipher the political and insurance stuff. The kind of people who don't just panic at the slightest thing, people who have been devising strategies to cut costs without lowering quality. When this is no longer possible truly devoted physicians will leave the work to the assembly line butchers, what else can they do. This isn't the first time this has happened for me either. When I lived in Oregon I had an excellent DO (osteopathic physician) who literally saved my life by being able to discover a medical condition lots of others had overlooked. When Oregon adopted a statewide system used as a model for Massachusetts and Obamacare he chose to leave the state. Waiting time for medical care in Oregon is more than twice the national average now. Now, Helen, I realize you're the cheerleader on the sidelines cheering for all the "GO TEAM OBAMA!" crap and truly believing all the hype for your team even though they have been losing a lot more than they're winning. That's OK, you have the right to an opinion. I remember voting for Carter against Reagan, thinking that after four years surely Jimmie had learned enough to govern, he couldn't possibly screw things up worse. Thank God we never had to see if I was right. Now we get to see if you were right, and I pray you are, but I'm also preparing for calamity, and frankly, if Mitt had been elected I would be preparing as well. I just think with Mitt we might have made it a little longer hopefully allowing for more preparation.

I just think with Mitt we might have made it a little longer hopefully allowing for more preparation. Lee Well, there are MANY MANY issues in any given election, because a nation has so many things facing it at a time. If you ask any 10 people why they voted for a given person, you might get 10 different answers. The election's OVER, the candidate is HIRED, time for him to earn his pay. The election was no final exam he got to pass or fail, his work just started again. He doesn't get a honeymoon like a new President would, and he'd better justify the faith that the majority of Americans put in him, and we have high expectations for his performance. No matter what, we knew some pain was coming, there's a LOT to fix, and not even a tiny ship turns on a dime, let alone a nation as huge and varied as this one. I said at the very beginning of the political discussions that my opinion of the President of the US is he's slave in chief. He is the biggest servant in the USA. With the power and prestige comes the biggest responsibility and pain, and price for failure. His actions this term will forever color his party and yes, even his race, because people will scrutinize him harder. He's the man everyone blames when things go wrong, even things not his fault or with his knowledge. I have some reservations, I did not vote for him with blinders on. I believe his heart IS in the right place, but he's got a lot working against him, not the least being nearly 1/2 the country hoping he fails and actively working towards his failure. The sad part is, his failure is OUR failure, everything he does from here out for the next 4 years affects us all, and possibly every future generation to come. I had hopes that the Republicans will be able to set aside their blinding hatred and willingness to watch the nation fall to ruin just to get rid of him of the LAST 4 years. With Boner's comments lately, I'm not so sure... it is unreal to me that the man still clings to a commitment made to an idiot, when the entire nation NEEDS compromise badly. Election's over, Obama's not going anywhere. Before 52 days are up, the House will have come to their senses, or this nation may be set back for 100 years. If we can overcome the budget problem very soon, we have real hope for the future. If we cannot... well, Obamacare is the least of our worries.

Read more: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=polit&action=display&thread=56264&page=2#ixzz2BpFwrF6hThis is what I was talking about but I am not eloquent enough to get the point across. If we have half of the country wanting Obama to fail they are jumping in the crapper where Don dropped his two chili bowl turd and dragging everyone down with them. Glad I was not in the same county Don. It is going to take 100% of us working together to keep from falling in that crapper. If 50% of you want to jump in the crapper that is fine by me but PLEASE do not drag the rest of us down it with you. I do not even care if you hate the man with a passion for any reason (racist included) because it is your right but it is not your right to help drag the rest of us down because of your hatred. I said it before, we are supposed to be one nation under God, not two nations trying to climb on top of each other. DIVIDED WE FALL. If Romney would have won I would be jumping on his band wagon and trying to help instead of throwing rocks under his tires. Jim

He's flying to Asia to dodge the fiscal cliff that only requires a vote from the House? Helen, my sources are every bit as valid as yours. The article you are whining about was from The New York Post, established on November 16, 1801, the nation's oldest continuously published daily newspaper. Just because their take is not the same as CNN does not make them lairs. You make it sound as though Obama could run the country by phoning it in. A real leader would be out there working to bring the country together, building consensus, healing a divided electorate. What part of this statement is a lie? Obama heads to Asia amid looming fear of 'Fiscal Cliff' WASHINGTON — President Obama yesterday announced he’s jetting off on a victory lap around Southeast Asia, despite a new government report warning the Jan. 1 fiscal cliff will plunge the US into a recession and drive the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. Obama and Congress have just 52 days to reach a deal to avoid sailing off that precipice, when a devastating double whammy of tax hikes and budget cuts will rock the economy and hit just about every American. I suppose Obama just assumes that since he won, he does not have to play ball with the other side, or try to bring the country together.
