Crazed Mayor of NYC Appeals Level Headed Court Decision

Does the city of New York run itself? How much time does Michael Bloomberg have on his hands these days that he feels the number one issue in his city is sugar water? Over 400 people in NYC are murdered each year, rats infest the upper West Side, violent crime is up, taxes are increasing and all Mayor Bloomberg can think about is how fat some people are getting.

But he is really only ahead of the curve. Once National Healthcare kicks in in fully, the Government will use it as a reason to legislate ALL behavior it deems “bad”.  This will be because it’s the "People’s Money" they will be defending.

Back in the old days, if you were on your own health plan, paying your own way and you had health issues related to an unhealthy lifestyle, it’s YOU who would pay for it in higher premiums and costs of hospitalization. BUT, now that your health care comes from one big pool of money, Comrade, it’s OUR money and the Government, as “Protectors” of the Common Wealth”, will certainly feel obliged to intervene. 

Make sense?

Hope so because it’s been happening in Massachusetts since shortly after RomneyCare came on line. As a plan, it has NEVER run in the black. MassHealth has lost money yearly and resists every effort to stop the red ink. Costs and deductibles go up and the level of care…goes down.

What der Mayor has tried to do is just what he feels he is entitled to do; keep social healthcare costs down by MAKING you behave. Mr. Bloomberg feels that bringing the force of law and the government boot to compel your adherence to “good habits” is now his job as Mayor of the city. All that other stuff about crime, corruption and street violence can wait. 

A totally sane approach if you ask me.

As they would say in not-so-merry old England these days; “The King is a Nutter!”

And so what if Manhattan’s Supreme Court Justice Milton A. Tingling Jr. saw the ban for what it was, an over reach by a bored incumbent narcissist who may or may not actually believe that the sugar water ban would actually save a life. 

Doesn't the good justice know who he’s dealing with?

But only Bloomberg knows better and whether the ban does any good isn’t the point. The point is that Bloomberg himself FEELS it will.

And that’s all that matters.
