The Little Engine That Will Never Get there.

       Okay class, here's your assignment. Assume you are the owner of a company that makes widgets. You have two groups of managers. One group suggests you make the widgets to fit the average person's hand. After much discussion, it's decided to go ahead with the plan to make that change. A vote of managers agrees and everything is set in motion.
       Now some of the second group of managers decide they don't like the changes. They boycott those changes. They are overridden in votes by the first group and you, the owner. They continue to be dissatisfied with the change and go on to boycott and vote down the changes forty two times, and each time they are outvoted.
       Here's the question for you, class. What would you do as owner of that company? A/ fire the boycotting group, B/ finally give in to their insistence, C/ hire a third group of managers to be a tiebreaker, D/ none of the above?
       Now class, for your next question, write down what you would do if these boycotting managers were actually elected Congressmen. Let's assume they did not like the Affordable Care Act, even after it passed both houses of Congress. and so, against the advise of their own leadership and after the Supreme Court proclaimed it to be constitutional, they continue to try to dismantle the law or defund it forty two times, unsuccessfully.
       Would you as president, agree to give in to their insistence because they threatened to shut down the government, and not pay rightful bills owed by America, or would you stand firm and not allow our government to be bartered away, because we are being held hostage? Should the government of the United States of America buckle under to terroristic threats or not?
       Let's not forget class, that the Affordable Care Act was designed to insure as many as twenty million Americans currently without health care insurance, and to require insurance companies to cover people even with pre-existing conditions, just for starters. Wouldn't it make more sense to try to change and improve the Affordable Care Act instead of wasting so much time on votes that obviously can go nowhere?
