No Insurance for You

In a potentially devastating blow to our country's national security, a judge in Houston ruled that Halliburton, America's company, must continue to provide health insurance to its retirees. This was after Halliburton wisely decided to stop providing benefits to these anachronous former team members who no longer provide profit for the Company.

Doesn't this judge realize that Halliburton is above the law and is not required to meet its legal obligations? If Halliburton were forced to abide to the law, this could dramatically affect its patriotic activities in Iraq.

And how does the judge think that Halliburton can pay for this waste when it's only generating a few tens of billions of dollars in revenue every year?

Hopefully, the Company will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. And hopefully, Dick Cheney will invite Justice Scalia on another fishing trip.
