So, Obama hates volunteer fire departments (of course, where’s the Union?)

Fire HouseFrom the Daily Mail (a UK paper that does a lot better on reporting edgy American news than most US papers):

  • The Affordable Care Act forces companies with more than 50 workers to buy them all health insurance or pay hefty fines
  • The IRS says volunteer firefighters are ’employees,‘ even though the Department of Labor says they’re ‘volunteers’
  • Out of more than 1 million fire departments in the U.S., 87 per cent are staffed entirely or mostly by life-saving volunteers
  • Members of Congress are weighing in, but the Obama administration hasn’t taken any action yet to carve out a fire-fighting exception

Yup, pass it to see what’s in it, eh Madame Pelosi?  Nice to see that this is gonna hit New Hampshire towns and hamlets HARD!  But remember, you all voted in these Progressives – welcome to another agenda item FORWARD!  Once again, our Godlets-in-DC are absolutely convinced that they know what’s best for us out here in the ‘sticks!  Nice to see that not only is Obamacare effectively stripping us of healthcare insurance (what middle class family can afford to shell out $12,700 in deductibles on a $40,000 income?  Effectively, they will HAVE NO insurance).  Now, here’s the next shoe to fall in Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform America”:

Now he’s about to strip us of home insurance.  And that’s not all!

And Jeanne Shaheen and Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter?  And let’s not forget Annie “Benghazi-in-headlights” Kuster!   They, too, believe that most NH town Fire Departments are optional – after all, there’s nothing in it for them, is there – NO Fire Unions with volunteers to man the phone banks and empty their wallets to make the Democrat campaigns flush with cash.  Not only that…Thanks for making our property taxes about to go SKY HIGH!  I’m betting that, with this (as Fire Departments are among the top 3 expenses a town has – outstripped by schools but running neck and neck with Police Departments (and DPW in there too) a lot of folks are about to go homeless. If this stays as is, there is no way that the Town Fathers of the small rural towns can lay this new tax on property owners.  Instead, they will disband the local companies.  And insurance companies, seeing that, will jack up their rates as well.

Nice way to hit insurance companies again – whatcha doing, playing Knock-Out on a national scale?  Once again, The Won will have solved his latest HUD “crisis of national importance” problem of “inequality of neighborhood housing” – there will be no neighborhoods left.  Can you imagine how banks will refactor their mortgage interest rates?  How many people will just turn in their keys like back in 2008 / 2009

And the nationwide misery stories of families after families sobbing around the embers and charcoled timbers of what used to be their homes, their businesses…

…and a little girl’s teddy bear singed beyond recognition laying on the cement porch steps.

Remember, Obama is out to change America, as Van Jones said, from the Top Down, Middle Out.  Unfortunately with this in play, there will be no Bottom Up – it will be Bottom All The Way Down.  And there will be no Full Stop.
