Let Them Flip Burgers!

Big Blue is gearing up to start shedding pensions! Golden parachutes for the big bosses and good luck wishes for the worker bees. Congress is considering at least some type of remedy, yet this ReThuglican dominated group and often weak opposition group will assuredly make matters worse. So what if the economy continues to back up for the regular guy? Instead of “Let them eat cake!” W will “Let them flip burger!” I guess, and we’ll just hope they can stay healthy. Bu$h made an appearance in Ohio, which is of course hemorrhaging for the GOP as of late, at Wendy’s HQ to talk up his health savings accounts proposal. Rather ironic to talk of health at a fast food entity. That health savings accounts are so wrong make them just right for this administration.

Bloomberg reminds us, from an April article, that cheap, docile workers might be more important to many GOP donors than having healthy workers.

Restaurants such as Tampa, Florida-based Outback Steakhouse Inc. and Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy's International Inc. support changes to the law that would allow them to fill empty positions with immigrants and provide a way for those illegally in the country now to get legal documentation, said Lee Culpepper, senior vice president for public policy at the National Restaurant Association in Washington.

Serious schism in the GOP over immigration looming yet I’d bet the Big Mules win this battle, all the while using their brainwashed branchheads to stay in power. And then they'll blame the left and mainstream media for the problem. Peace … or War!
