Comment: The world has truly been turned upside down by Obamacare. Now, mandatory government programs are worried about branding. The plum jobs are in government, exactly the way it is in Third World countries. It only takes a 4-year degree to get a cushy position, and the work is to sell us something the government said we were going to love in the first place. If Obamacare is so great, why do we need propagandists to sell it? How is it possible for Obamacare to ‘bend the cost curve down’ as backers claim when extravagant positions like this are being created? Obamacare’s cronies get more than $152,000 a year at the same time untold numbers of people around the country are being cut to 29 hour a week part-time jobs. Folks, this is George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ where, at the end, we find out that some of us are more equal than others. But isn’t that the way it always is in the Left’s grandiose collectivist schemes?
