And here is an interesting study by Harvard Business School

9. I dislike that they call it an "industry". Like health care, if it is, it shouldn't be.

And it still stands that it's REPUBLICANS who want to destroy social safety nets, public health and education, human and equal rights, and the environment, all in favor of more corporate profit (it's at record high levels now, while they taxes they pay are at record lows) & special treatment for billionaires. Looking at one of the charts in the PDF, it was primarily Democrats who voted for Soc Security and Medicare and the ACA. Republicans never supported it and they never will.

Is that a problem with the "industry" or with Republicans? I think the latter.

The document also decries the lack of any accomplishment from the Simpson-Bowles Commission. I did not WANT that commission to accomplish anything because part of its plan was to cut Social Security, which is absurd and unnecessary. Mr. " Social Security Is Like a "Milk Cow with 310 Million Tits!" who called today's retirees "The Greediest Generation" (he must be projecting) is at it again now, too.

Harvard is above all a Business School - I have to remember that.
