[i]During a Google Hangout session on Friday, fry cook Darnell Summers told President Obama that his hours were cut due to the Affordable Care Act. “We were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance,” he said. Summers explained that he makes $7.25 an hour and has been on strike four times seeking a wage increase. “We can’t survive, it’s not livin’,” he said.
The president responded by urging states to increase the minimum wage. “I am working to encourage states, governors, mayors, state legislators to raise their own minimum wage,” Obama said. “Obviously, the way to reach millions of people would be for Congress to pass a new federal minimum wage law. So far, at least, we have not seen support from Republicans for such a move.”
The president did not address Summers’s comments about the healthcare law.[/i]

Let's just hope people don't notice how we blamed Obamacare last year over cut hours before the bill was even enacted. The point it, we businesses always cut hours so we don't have to pay for all the extra benefits, but this time we can do it and not look bad. Let's just hope people still buy into the struggle that rich and powerful businesses are going through due to Obamacare. I mean, who needs healthcare right?"
