But I see that you are definitely looking at and emphasizing negatives (light bulbs?) and that is fine. I won't try and change your opinion. I try to balance the bad with the good (my 401k increasing dramatically which will allow me to possibly retire with a nice income).

The "goodies" associated with Obamacare kicked in immediately. It allowed me to keep my son on my insurance. Most of the "taxes" associated with Obamacare kick in 2014. This was purposeful. Also my health insurance has gone up more under Obama's term than before Obamacare. I expect it to go up even further in 2014. In 2014 when he's no longer on my insurance plan, he'll have to purchase health insurance or face a fine or possibly imprisonment.
The light bulb thing was passed by the Dems but signed by Bush.
