Harvard not only educated the president but has steadfastly supported not only him and even his more controversial policies, until now.
“For years, Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost,” Robert Pear reported in The New York Times on January 5, 2015. “But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar.”
“Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard professors championed.”
“Everyone knows ObamaCare itself was more than 2,000 pages,” Hadley Heath Manning of the Independent Women’s Forum pointed out last September. “But did you know that more than 20,000 pages of Ob amaCare regulations have been promulgated?” “Making things worse, many of these rules have been written, and then rewritten, rewritten, and rewritten again.” Manning is one of the instructors in AIA’s Women’s Studies Course.
Apparently, the faculty at Harvard is just catching up to the fine print they inspired.
People tend to make better decisions when forced to live with the consequences of their decisions.
“This can’t be right!
If only Obama knew.”
you asked for it you got it toyota
KARMA IS A B**TCH (ESPECIALLY FOR A LIB!)
Haven’t had to pay the Cadillac tax yet
They were for it before they were against it.....................
ok, somebody has to say it, and this karma ran over their dogma.
Just reading this morning where Jesus said “they already have their reward”.
This is apropos to this situation.
The Harvard Profs & Faculty received their “reward” the moment they supported Obamacare in order to make themselves feel morally superior.
That feeling of moral superiority and self-righteousness was the “reward” - now they gotta pay for it.
(It was NEVER about giving universal coverage. It was ALWAYS about being self-righteous for supporting universal coverage.)
I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.
Being the product of a B-school of somewhat lesser statue than Harvard, I’d say the MBA types there fall into two categories:
Those who hate it because of it’s negative impacts on businesses.
Those who love it because they plan to go work for the big healthcare insurance companies.
Both are grounded in realism about Obamacare. It’s just self-serving realism.
I remember that we’d occasionally have Lib Arts students in some of our business classes. They were a lot of fun, we’d bat them around like cats with a ball of yarn, they’d be very perplexed that the professors wouldn’t take their sides and wouldnt intervene in discussions to save them.
Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost!
The so-called "best and brightest" lefties are finally figuring out what us peons have known for a while! To hell with them. They made this bastard, so let 'em stew.
Not too sure about obamacare but Harvard definitely Hates America, see John Leboutillier, Harvard Hates America, which he wrote as soon as he graduated from there.
One way to convince the Harvard faculty to like this, is to appeal to their liberal compassion -— “It’s for the public good.”
Think of it this way — The government is trying to solve the problem of inequality, which in this case, requires them to ask you to “contribute” or “donate” a few thousand dollars a year in order for the poor to have the health care they did not have. ALL FOR THE SAKE OF FAIRNESS !!!
By doing this, they should understand.... they’ve been teaching this to their students for years.
No doubt Obama is hearing this for the first time from the news outlets!!!!
Indeed the last six years have proven so.
Be careful what you wish for;it may come true. Maybe if the folks at Harvard had a little less education & a little more common sense....just saying...
Although, your second point it appears to be an ethics issue. Would be for me anyway.
