[...] Chris Dodd secured a Hospital Helper in the Demcare bill, has happily exploited the swine flu to expand the role of government, and made sanctimonious noises about banking regulatory reform to [...]

You can look to the politicians to see why employees are too expensive to hire. The TARP mandates mental health coverage in all policies, for instance!

If you’re wondering why your premium went up, look to the politicians.

Dodd’s methods are more correctly called “grasping at straws”.

It is that time of year my sister and her husband need to renew the health insurance for their employees. As theirs is a small company the premiums are rather high with a co-pay.Their agent can not find an insurer willing to give them a one year commitment. Without a fixed price they can not cost the price of production. They are pretty sure they are going to give their employees cash to buy their own insurance-if they can-and see if they can survive.

Uncertainty is the great killer of decisions and markets. If somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred men lose their jobs I am sure Obama and Dodd will step forward to help.

Dodd the Dud & the Demoncrats won’t be happy until we’re all working for china, because they will be the only ones that can afford to do business here.. They’ll pay us 7 days of sick time using the gobs of interest money we owe them, & have plenty left over…

Dodd is jumping on the stupid band-wagon since two Democrats from California already suggested the legislation back on Nov. 4 (link). This is a press strategy on the part of the Dodd campaign since he's up for election in 2010.

What an a$$… a “swine flu tax“…

What kind of people vote in Connecticut? Can they even tie their shoes without federal help… or is there a velcro shoe giveaway program (cash for laces) there?

Why stop at 7 days Chris? If 7 days is good then like 30 ought to be fantastic! It’s not much different than the minimum wage, why not make that $50 an hour? Chris, certainly you agree that hard working Americans deserve better pay and some protection from long illnesses? What’s stopping you from doing the right things? Shame on you!

This flu thing is turning into a boondoggle like “global warming”. Politicians are desparate for any manufactured ‘crisis’ in order to grab more power.

They wouldn’t be able to get away with it if more people were educated in science. Just like global warming is nothing new, either is the flu.

People are psychotic about the flu! I had a bad cold this week and the first thing I was asked was if I was taking an antibiotic. As most educated people know, antibiotics are worthless against viruses and endanger us by contributing to drug-resistant strains of bacteria.

One of my co-workers, also sick with a cold, actually is taking antibiotics. His doctor should be reprimanded for prescribing it.

Here’s a great image that puts the flu in perspective:

I just saw last night a list of some of the items in NY that are heavily taxed. ONE PACK of cigarettes is taxed OVER $4.00!! ONE PACK! I can’t believe people aren’t moving out that state in droves!! The only people who don’t move are too poor to move. And a lot of them smoke…or used to until they simply couldn’t afford it and their food stamps couldn’t even cover them. These liberals are the supidest creatures on the planet…they are going to be so sorry. It is like they are looking up at a piano falling down on their head from the 10th floor and they just stand there and let it happen.
