DIRECT RESULT OF OBAMACARE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE: Stryker to cut 5% of workforce

Healthcare rationing, sub-quality care, and shortages. I told you so. It happens every single time, no exceptions, and how some of you are actually insane enough to believe “it’ll be different this time” defies intelligence.

Stryker, the Kalamazoo-based maker of artificial hips and knees, will cut 5% of its global workforce by the end of next year to reduce costs in the face of new fees on device makers required by the U.S. health care law.

The job cuts will reduce annual pretax operating costs by more than $100 million beginning in 2013, when the medical-device excise tax is scheduled to take effect, Stryker said Thursday in a statement. Stryker had more than 20,000 employees as of Dec. 31, according to Bloomberg News data.

So not only is ObamaCare, Socialized Medicine, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or whatever you want to call that socialist bullshit making health services third world, it’s also costing jobs. Remember, this is a Democrat only law. They did it, not one Republican voted in favor of it.

And once again, what entity is creating this mess? That’s right, your precious big government. Sticking its nose where it does not belong. It happens every single time, why some of you don’t get that, well, it defies intelligence.

PolitiFact, WaPo & FactCheck all confirm Michele Bachmann’s claim of a 105 billion dollar slush fund in Obamacare

In a video we first posted on March 4th of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN-6) claiming there was 105+ billion in hidden appropriations to advance the unconstitutional Obamacare, the loony left of course denied it, and ridiculed Bachmann. Yeah, like you morons know what’s in that bill, and would know more than a sitting member of congress. I guess grandiosity is common among the ignorant and pompous left.

Well, as it turns out…

Former Congressman Ernest Istook testified before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee about the $105 billion slush fund in advance appropriations liberals tucked inside Obamacare. The $105 billion bypasses the traditional yearly budgeting process and is spread throughout the 2,700 page legislation. It took the Congressional Research Service (CRS) seven months to identify all the disparate funds and it was not until February (11 months after the bill passed) that all of the funds could be totaled up.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has been beating the drum to raise awareness of this unprecedented level of advance spending. But the liberal media has been attacking her for calling it “hidden” funding….

But more importantly, even in their attempted take down of Rep. Bachmann, PolitiFact, FactCheck, and The Washington Post Fact Checker all confirm her underlying charge: the $105 billion exists.

We were screwed by those Democrats. They rammed that 2700 page crap bill through, forced a vote, and hid appropriations. No wonder that bitch Pelosi had that smirk on her face when she said something to the effect of finding out what’s in the bill after its passed.

And those are the kind of people who you want to represent you?
