Republican Nothing Party, Sargent Cartoon

GOP Nothing Party

GOP Nothing Party

No longer the party of old ideas but the party of no ideas.

SMALL GOVERNMENT!  You know I don’t care about big or small government, I care about a government that helps us and move us forward. If I wanted to go backward I would go to church.

A recent story caught my eye concerning SUBWAY owners and other businesses reducing employee hours to under 30 so they don’t have to offer health care. What’s new? People are not going to do the RIGHT THING unless they are forced to. The word in this case is MANDATE.

In 1994 Republicans has a counter plan to Hillarycare. It was to make us all responsible by MANDATING everyone buy health insurance. 20 years later we have the very core  of the Republican Party screaming that MANDATES are socialism, communism and the worst idea anyone ever came up with.

Adding add to that blind ideology, this time round they have no alternative plan at all. Well other than the present system of emergency room health care, with 15% of Americans without insurance, and the ever rising cost adding to the debt and deficit is just fine for Republican Congressmen who have the best free GOVERNMENT health care insurance in the world.

Step one. Take all heath care insurance away from all elected officials. Hmmm… That’s it.  Nothing more needs to be done. And while we are at it a bill to sent all elected officials children to the head of the line in going to war. Settle that one too.

A single payer system accepted by the civilized parts of the world is also a MANDATE, a payroll tax, better more inclusive care for half the price. Get employers out of it! We no longer live in a world where employers give a rat’s ass about their employees. The job of employers is to screw their employees every which way the can.

Have you noticed that any bill, rule, law, mandate concerning any economic issues at all, Republicans claim that it will kill jobs. My God, what employers do best is reduce pay, remove benefits, move off shore and kill jobs to increase their profit.
