Exactly right. In selling an item, you ask for more than you actually want, so you give the buyer ‘leeway’ in negotiating the price. Knowing all along you would have taken less to start with. Obama does that on ALL issues. We are outraged at ‘how much’ they are asking and demanding. All the while he didn’t really want ‘all’ he was asking for, just part of it. Or 30%. He still wins. WE NEED TO SAY LEAVE ALL OF HEALTHCARE ALONE. Remember he only wants to get his foot in the door. He knew all along he would not ‘immediately’ be able to takeover all of the healthcare system. But in ‘increments’.....he’s not looking for the total takeover, oh, if he got great,but he wasn’t expecting that. He just wants the FIRST increment to the government takeover of healthcare. He is expert on Saul Alinsky tactics, and way ahead of us in the game.
It also happens in Congress. When you add the ear marks it becomes the same idea. Take what you can get, forget the things that will destroy us. Our whole system needs to get back to what it was supposed to be.
