A Swing Vote For Peaceful Coexistence

A Swing Vote For Peaceful Coexistence The following is quoted from a newspaper article published in the Orlando Sentinel, “545 vs. 330,000,000 People” by Charley Reese.o    Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.o    Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?o    Have you ever wondered if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation andhigh taxes?o    You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.o    You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.o    You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.o    You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.o    You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.o    Gang of 545 = 100 senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and 9 Supreme Court justices . . . equates to 545 human beings out of 300 million who are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.” Why then would we believe that they can solve them?I call this the business model of the Board of Directors of the economic Monopsony!Monopsony Encourages Consolidation of the Providers:Vertical integration of the long term care providers occur as Monopsony empowers the regulators to be tougher on enforcement. Rather than horizontal integration that decentralizes delivery systems and makes enforcement less effective and reinforcement more doable and productive.Of course, I am recommending the complete rejection of the consolidation (pyramid) approach, where America’s nursing homes are consolidated into giant centralized conglomerates run by absentee executives who decide to cut costs and services because it is their responsibility to comply with Obama Monopsony Care.Not only is this approach passé in terms of social structures and government, but it is also ironically self-destructive to thehuman element in any business. Though I am not suggesting that we bring back the days of family-run homes, I am suggesting that corporate takeovers for the purpose of being large enough to fend off the power of the Monopsony Game only results in warehousing our elderly. We experienced this in the 1980s when managed care was the name of the game.
