UPS to drop 15,000 spouses from insurance, cites ObamaCare

[moonlady0623]

69. Just curious,

how does a country pay for that when all its money goes to the military industrial complex, bloated salaries and benefits for the congress, and a number of other things?

I frequently debate politics with a Tea Party loved one, and it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to defend any additions to social programs - and I do believe in social programs - when he asks how such a program would be paid for. I am increasingly finding that the whole IT"S THE DEMOCRATS!!! IT"S THE REPUBLICANS!!!! reasoning is just blowing smoke.

Until we all decide to IGNORE the PARTY LINES and think outside those boxes - and decide that

UNITED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE FALL

and open our eyes to see that we are being fed information to maintain - actually to increase - the status quo of US VS THEM, we are being led down the path of tyranny.

I still come to Democratic Underground from time to time searching for a real debate. When I find folks taking off on tangents unrelated to reality, such as this one - the practice of requiring a spouse with access to an employee health care option to not be covered on their plan - I lose hope that some balance will ever be found. Of course UPS put out a statement to make it sound like something completely normal was BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE!!! Good grief. Step one: stop believing everything you read as the TRUTH. Follow the source/follow the $$$$$. Reality is subjective, after all.
