Beat Health Care Cost
 

I heard that allegedly IBM is considering downsizing 299,000 of the employees out of 400,000+ and rehiring as consultants as needed. This of course would beat the Obama health care costs and again move large numbers overseas.
It would be the tip of the iceberg as a number of other large companies and potentially small business under $250K would follow suit with small business's rehiring probably within the US.
This should demonstrate what quiet impact this crazy bill will have the US economy if this ends up to be just half right..
Does Obama think companies will lay down, reduce their revenues and profits without a fight and without alternatives and just fold to his socialistis or communist ways. It won't happen.!!!
I am sure this is just one way of "beating" the Obama stupid goverence.
How is this all working for you???:yuck:

The sky is falling again.

This is a political post!

Hopefully Tony or TH will move it to where it belongs.

However, I think that any downsizing by IBM (if even true) was in the works long before the Health Care fiasco.

For the sake of discussion, I posted two links to this conversation in the political fourm.

Not Intent
 

It is not my intent to attack the administration or to downplay IBM. It is also not my intent to go into denial. If the facts are true it is serious and attempts at being humorous is poor when such potential harm is possible to the USA.
It would be more constructive to provide feedback as to the possible of impact or non impact if it happens. It would also be really constructive to provide some thoughts as to how business's will protect their revenue and profits under the healthcare plan without serious pain to the public.
It should not be assumed it will be bad or that it will be good without some research and see where that takes you.:shrug:

Head for the hills!!!!!!!!!chilout
