Fuck this healthcare Reform...

The sweetest words I've seen in a year are the 40 words of H.R. 2:

 

Yep. That's the party line. Well done.

 

Stop playing checkers when the game is chess.

 

Talk about activist judges. Overturning a century of precedent because it doesn't fit their political philosophy.

That said, Kennedy is not that kind of judge, thankfully.

 

Pray tell, what is the precedent to have the Commerce Clause force you to engage in economic activity? And if that's how the Commerce Clause is interpreted, what CAN'T Congress force you to do?

The absurdity of Mankiw's post highlights the absurdity of those who say repealing Obamacare will add to the deficit. It's not the benefits from Obamacare, it's the additional taxes in the bill that carry the extra income.

 

Byron York has an excellent analysis of the strategy of the opponents of ObamaCare.

Yeah, government is fair and impartial. This is what happens when government has the power to pick winners and losers.

I read the whole thing. Me thinks you don't get the point of the article.

 

Vox clamantis in deserto.

 

Try again.

 

I figured as much.

 

BTW, notice how President Obama is now willing to talk about repealing all the unreasonable revenue measures (1099s for more than $600, 3.8% tax on RE transactions, etc.) now that his bill has passed? He repeatedly said he wouldn't sign it unless it cost less than $1T, no matter how badly he had to game it (e.g., 10 years of revenue for 6 years of benefits, double counting, etc.). Now that it's signed, it doesn't matter what it costs.

What a fucking fraud our President is.
