What possible right does teh WH have to stop a company’s honest financial reporting?
It’s nonsense like this that got us into this mess. Ignoring reality.

These companies are required by law to report the changes to their bottom line.

"And now Henry Waxman is calling Congressional hearings to beat the companies up on live TV."They should spit in his eye and say no. Waxman is beyond pathetic.

They thought the real costs of this bill wouldn't be noticed until
AFTER THE ELECTIONS and all would be forgotten by the voters.
The fools!

Later, on CNBC, he suggested that they were acting unpatriotically. WTF is "patriotic" about slitting your own throat to appease the boy king?

They want to intimidate. Dare to criticize us and we'll take over your company!
QUESTION: Isn't it true that Congress does not have subpoena power?

The companies are required by the SEC, Auditors, Shareholders and GAAP to record their net liabilities for future healthcare correctly.
Since companies know that 0bummerCare will raise their costs by taxing the benefits they offer to current retirees, they have to increase their reserves to account for that knowledge, and reduce their income accordingly.
“We’re forcing costs on you, but you may not account for them as required by law because it looks bad for us.” - 0bummer Administration

Chet, I believe under Sarbanes/Oxley these companies have NO recourse other than to announce their profit shifts.
The phrase, ‘hoisted on their own petard’ comes to mind for the Democrats (who enacted S/O).
This is getting uglier and uglier with each passing day...and Dear Leader’s polls are plummeting.

Oh, these successful companies that provide valuable services, dont know what they were talking about and suggesting that they were acting unpatriotically
how is that so?
This all coming from a group of pure breed Racists, Marxists and Homo-Leninists which have proven themselves to be less than honest and more of being sneak, cheats and lairs promising blue-sky for everyone. I guess the political class will say and do anything possible to get money put in their pockets for free, while everyone who is not a friend of government pays the freight.
