GOP flips flops, now supports Entitlements, Fair treatment for Everybody.

I was struck by this headline on Fox News:
GOP to White House: ObamaCare delay for businesses unfair to everyone else.
Imagine that. Ignoring the preposterous notion that people don’t want affordable health care through the exchanges, Republicans are now whining how life is so...unfair.

Hypocrites all: It seems conservative standards are changing by the minute, depending on their scheme at the time.

Life’s not Fair!!!: Republicans seem to be forgetting their own golden rule.

GOP Entitlement Society: You are now entitled to fair treatment. 

Apparently Republicans believe in entitlements after all. Could it be made any clearer:
"We agree with you that the burden was overwhelming for employers, but we also believe American families need the same relief," House Speaker John Boehner and several other top Republicans wrote in a letter to President Obama. 

Michael Tanner, a senior fellow with the Cato Institute, penned a column that ran in the Daily Caller noting that the delay could increase the burden on individuals and taxpayers. "By postponing the employer mandate ... the administration has shifted costs from employers to workers and/or taxpayers," he wrote. "That hardly seems fair." 
There’s that “fair,” entitlement thing again.


That’s the funny thing too, because Republicans are all about giving up the employer mandate and shifting the costs to workers and taxpayers. They want people to take their insurance coverage with them, regardless of employment, which isn't a bad idea. But their plan does nothing to curb the rising cost of care, and instead, pays taxpayer premium support leaving any increases up to the individual. In other words, good luck. Hey wait that's not fair!
