When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV programs was Gomer Pyle USMC. One of his favorite lines when something unexpected happened was “Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!” These words would often bring looks of frustration and disbelief to the faces of all who heard it.
Well, I just heard that some large industries may are considering dumping their healthcare programs…which would cause employees to do two things:
1-Not be able to keep their healthcare programs (as touted by the President) and
2-Have to go to the government program, which would be a further burden on guess who? Taxpayers!
For the niave, this may have come as a surprise but to those of us who predicted this would happen, it is no real surprise. It is an issue of industrial survival. These industries could have chosen to downsize or cut their employee base or to cut their healthcare program to insure their survival. I know, the government may give them a tax-break, but that is a small consolation compared to their long-term loss because of the healthcare program. Lost in this discussion is the fact that businesses are out to first survive and secondly to make a profit.
Again, we see the virtual ignorance of the Democrat party by their literally shoving this healthcare foolishness down our throats, when most Americans said they did not want it. The very fact that anyone could vote for a candidate that supported the healthcare bill still baffles me. These voters are not relational thinkers but are void of basic understanding of connectivity.
My encouragement to each of you is to get out and vote so that the Democrats will be the ones surprised by their loss of the house and senate next Tuesday.
