More Hitler tactics being employed by the Obama team.
Before Zero-care passed Waxman would have hauled them before a committee for NOT doing this.
The good news is that if the CEOs keep quite, their balance sheets will do the talking.
Waxman loves to sit on his raised platform and look down his nostrils at his victims. In reality he’s a mental midget who’d find it difficult to get a job in the real world.
The CEO of Caterpillar thought he could work with Obama, but got wacked immediately. Guess he learned his lesson. They were talking the negative effect before the passage of the law. He is retiring shortly, so I guess he thought he could take the heat.

Henry Waxman is an ornament to his profession.
Whatever that profession may be.
At first I thought, maybe “pimp”, but pimps are respectable and conservative businessmen in comparison.
>> McCarthy: fail to play along with the our Leftist rulers’ script
That’s right folks - we’re not talking about Liberals. These radicals are hardcore Leftists!
Sadly, because of Waxman and his Marxist buddies, none of us are able to get a job in the real world... at least the one the Obamanation has created.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We *want* them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

This is good....:^)
Waxman will have to try and debunk the AT&T cost numbers.
I bet the AT&T numbers have much more data behind them than the govt. rosy numbers. The public debate could be quite interesting...
I hope that one of these CEOs will have the balls to speak out against tyranny. Maybe one will. They could have their corporate jet take them to their remote bunker out of the country shortly after giving their testimony. Better have an ex Mossad agent as bodyguard.
The Supreme court ruled decisively (in the McCain-Feingold case) that corporations most definitely do have free speech rights, so this will not survive any legal challenge.
These corporate titans take their oversized bonuses but are too chickensh!t to denounce Nostrilitis Waxman in a committee hearing? What are they paid for?
If they have any cojones they demand an open televised hearing then they say— “Have you no decency Representative Waxman!”
**** Welch pulled this on Joseph McCarthy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_N._Welch
Henry Waxman is a professional thief.
I don’t know what kind of ground rules the minority on Waxman’s committee have to play by, but if I was one of them, I’d have an appropriate career prosecutor from the Justice Department called as a witness, as well as an enforcemtn officer from the SEC.
And then I’d ask them if it’s okay for entities like those in question to keep their anticipated costs hidden - and if they answer in the affirmative, I’d ask them in what other situations corporations are allowed to hide from the public known anticipated costs that will affect their share value.
You might be right. Fortunately, there are more people today who see through this than saw through Hitler in the early 1930s.
Obama media kept touting how little it was going to cost government and how much it would save deficit over 10 years. It never even once honestly told how much it would cost the employers, to the economy, to the private sector, to the employment market. Sure enough, when they all go bonkers, liberal media will the there to sell the sob stories to push for even more corporate welfare and entitlements and government regulations and take over.
