She now knows what the rest of America has experienced for several years now.....! When I was recruiting, when the economy started downhill in late 1999, companies were not only laying off, but many had been cutting back on the benefits for several years. Hillary's stealth behind closed doors scared the insurance companies to death, and they started raising the premiums. Corporations, large and small, take paying benefits out of profits.... The Feds, State and local governments continued paying most of the premiums, figuring the taxpayers would do it. Pretty soon, people everywhere have to realize that if a company is going to keep their doors open, they must make a profit!! And small business is the ONLY business that is pulling more than their fair share of the weight....they are the engine that is making our growth possible. Most of them can't pay much for benefits though....
