Wondering about the impact that Obamacare is going to have on the economy? Well, here’s yet another example of what we can expect from the new law. A group of Wendy’s franchises in Nebraska is reducing the hours of 100 employees to 28 hours a week because the new Obamacare regulations make it too expensive to employ them for 30+ hours, the threshold for offering insurance or being charged a penalty. And other restaurant chains are either doing the same or adding surcharges to compensate for their increased costs. MSN does a pretty good job of explaining just what’s going on.
