wlhester is right, there will be a lot of downsizing in small businesses that simply cannot afford Osama's socialist healthcare plan and will opt out by scaling back the workforce.

Next you will see the report of how the number of Arkansasans out of work is lower. I predict that the number of unemployed (by the governments numbers) will hit 8.5% to 9% by the middle of 2013. 4 more years of baffoon economics will help push this country further into a hole.

You will be seeing a lot of other companies laying off employees as they cannot afford Obamas health care, they have been waiting for the election to get rid of him but working pople are the ones who have lost.

My opinion is.... That turns Hawker Beachcraft into Loogie toilet crap. Just what we need to hear wright? The day after our fearless leader's reallection. Not blaming Obama or anything but it appears some one has some insight. Maybe the last 4 years was all they're pocket book could handle. More taxes/less job's. First day after allection. Good news!!! Good news!!! We're headed in the wright direction now..... (Yea wright)
