Obamas 3000 Percent Sales Pitch
Usually lowering the price of something by more than 100 percent is a very bad idea. But 3000 percent?
That’s called good governing.
If Obamacare rams its way through Congress employer-based health care will defy the laws of physics or economics or something like that.
“For Americans who get their insurance through the work place-how many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now? Raise your hands.
Alright well, a lot of those folks, your employer it’s estimated would see premiums fall by as much as 3000 percent, which means they could give you a raise.”
Well why the hell didn’t he say that in the first place? This could have saved a lot of us right-wingers some valuable time. To think we could have been able to shoot our guns more often or clutch our bibles with both left and right arms.
Instead, we spent months fighting against this so-called “reform” with our Astroturfing ways.
But I guess we were wrong. According to one of the smartest Presidents ever, a person with an employer-based health care premium would, I guess not pay anything. And the employer would also get a reduction in premiums by 3000 percent. Or maybe the employee does too.
Who the hell knows but according to the Democrats this is sound logic. Maybe we should let them run other things like department stores.
With sales pitches like that who needs enemies?
