New Normal is SUCKING vitality out of US!

The economic dynamics of the New Normal are sucking the vitality and the dynamism and the hope from everyone in this formally boisterous and joyful and hopeful Nation.  Just imagine if you were now consigned to working less than 30 hours per week and being forever classed as part-time in any one job? 

Oh, and how many jobs of the newly created part-times jobs would you need to survive?  For a much more detailed review of what all this means for the future of companies like yours, go to the New Normal page on our website at www.polestarcomm.com.

The real economy out there is really in horrific shape folks, and it is getting much weaker by the day, because the net effects of “Obama Care” will prove devastating, as small businesses will just NOT be able to afford its costs.

Oh, and by the way “Obama Care” should have been more accurately termed “Insurance Company Care,” because all this outrageous piece of illegally construed legislation will effectively do is to funnel roughly more than a startlingly huge $40,000,000,000 (some estimates are MUCH Higher) to the Health Insurance Companies, and penalize all earnestly caring Doctors and severely ration expensive Medical Care to Seniors; so that, their lives can be shortened as a huge benefit to the remaining living - until they become too old or useless, when their Medical Care will be rationed, too!

Health Law Spurs Shift in Worker Hours

Wall street Journal; November 4, 2012; WSJ

“Some low-wage employers are moving toward hiring part-time workers instead of full-time ones to mitigate the health-care overhaul's requirement that large companies provide health insurance for full-time workers or pay a fee.

Several restaurants, hotels and retailers have started or are preparing to limit schedules of hourly workers to below 30 hours a week. That is the threshold at which large employers in 2014 would have to offer workers a minimum level of insurance or pay a penalty starting at $2,000 for each worker. …”

Retirement and Health Care Costs Weighing Heavy on Americans' Minds

Nearly half of Americans living paycheck to paycheck

The Sacramento Bee: By Harris Interactive; Published: Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 - 2:12 am

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone paying attention to the current presidential election knows that health care and retirement have been major topics in the campaign, and with good reason:  Americans are gravely concerned about these issues.  Nearly three-fourths of those Americans who are not retired agree that they worry about having enough money to do so (74%) and about being able to pay for health care costs in retirement (73%).  These fears appear to be tied at least in part to concerns regarding social security, with only two-in-five (41%) of non-retired Americans agreeing with the statement, "I have faith in social security being there when I retire."
Additionally, seven in ten Americans – retired and not retired alike – agree that they worry about being able to afford unexpected health care costs (71%).
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,307 adults surveyed online between August 13 and 20, 2012 by Harris Interactive. …
Worried about the future while also living on the edge
Forty-seven percent (47%) of Americans agree that they are living paycheck to paycheck and thus cannot afford to put money in savings, thereby providing no relief to their future worries.
…So what? "There is clear anxiety on the part of the American public regarding their day-to-day finances and those related to their futures," says David Krane, SVP Harris Interactive.  "Yet rather than creating products and services that could alleviate these concerns, bringing peace of mind to their customers, the financial services industry continues to focus its marketing on products and services related to spending and further debt accumulation …”
