Using the same logic as the Senate Education Committee, I’ve come to some astounding conclusions:

Insurance companies should not be allowed to offer discounts to their largest volume customers or to their long-term loyal customers.

Publicly held delivery companies such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, et. al. should not be allowed to handle any packages until the United States Postal Service decides they don’t want that particular delivery.

Even though the orange juice industry has made detailed studies and created products consumers wish to purchase, varieties will henceforth be limited to “from concentrate” only and the government will ensure pulp is kept to 2%. The government will not have to explain how they intend to ensure this or if the 2% is per carton, vat, or general principle.

So don’t worry when your overpriced prescriptions arrive two days late, because your chances of choking on pulp, while trying to stave off scurvy, have been all but eliminated. Thank you Congress!

Of course I’m being facetious, but I think you get my meaning. We want the government to help get mail delivered, keep medications economically available, and protect us from dangerous products, but we don’t want them to take away our options or add needless bureaucratic meddling to industry.

Insurance companies offer discounted plans to large corporations because they are large. More employees mean more policies which means the volume helps disperse the costs. As long as everyone doesn’t get sick at the same time the insurance company can make a profit which will pay for the discount.

Competition has made the Post Office better than ever. Improvements, upgrades in technology, realizing citizens are customers – all brought to you by the beauty of capitalism.

Beverage companies don’t waste time coming out with products they think will fail. They’ve found ways to make multiple products and stay profitable. And while I’m not advocating the FDA step out of the picture, the orange juice people aren’t going to purposely make products that kill their customers.

The current proposed legislation to improve financial aid for college students makes a lot of bad assumptions. The worst of which is the assumption students and lenders don’t know what is best for them. Congress thinks by limiting the options and opportunities for both groups neither will be able to make the wrong choice. No, Senator, it just means they have no choice.

We are opposed to the proposed student loan legislation and middle-class families should be too! The government is taking money out of YOUR POCKET.

It only takes one minute to make a difference: call your senators, send your senators an e-mail, download a letter to fax to your senators, become part of our petition and help your friends find out the truth about the proposed student loan legislation.
