This is from the Chi-town LIBune?
Careful Grace-Marie, you might get called to DC and be forced to stare into the gaping caverns of Nostrildamus’ nose!
Traitorous companies. They shall be demonized. Hauled before Congress. Then nationalized.
After they are nationalized, their competitors will begin to experience consumer complaints and unexplained product failures.
Chicago Tribune? Telling the truth? I'm speechless.....
Picked up by the Tribune??? This is good news indeed.
Just thinkin’ about Obamacare is creepin’ out America.
The White House said this change closed a tax “loophole” created to encourage companies to provide their retirees with drug benefits rather than moving them into Medicare’s prescription drug program.
If that isn’t proof that Obama”s a socialist idiot nothing will.
I think I’ll start a scrapbook of repentant journalist’s columns.
In order to accommodate trial lawyers, unions, health insurers, pharmaceutical makers, and other fat cats, Democrats were forced to construct the proverbial, over-engineered Rube Goldberg contraption. While a Rube Goldberg Machine looks functional on paper, in reality, one broken pin or snapped cable could cause the whole unwieldy assembly to disintegrate under its own weight.
I can see Obama standing on a pedestal overlooking the country amidst the rubble left behind from his grand plan of economic destruction, saying, “You NEED me (the gov’t) NOW, don’t you..” Any cartoonists out there?
“These retirees will join Medicare Advantage policyholders “
When was Medicare Advantage supposed to end?
This is the issue that Henry Waxman is trying to haul companies in front of congressional committees over.
IF the law says they must make such disclosures, and the write offs are legal, then this is another case of the Demirats not knowing what they were doing.
Pelosi: “We will tell you what is in the bill after we pass it”.....
American companies: “We will take every tax writeoff we can, and then we will be laying off thousands of workers.”
I personally would like to see major companies take out an ad in USA Today, telling the public why this will cost jobs and future stock earnings all across the spectrum.
I would also be very tempted to print invoices or stickers to put on invoices which have a separate line item for the “Health Care Surcharge”-—something like freight charges which carry high fuel costs surcharges.
Comsumers need to understand there is no FREE LUNCH !!!!!
