The arrow points to the size of a man
The Washington Examiner reports the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has, um, revised their estimate of how much the unconstitutional Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) is going to gouge the American people if the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t do the right thing and strike it down for the affront to liberty it is.
You may recall that President Barack Obama and the other Leftists in congress told us it would cost less than a trillion dollars. Most of us knew that was complete bunk even then, but now the CBO admits it’s more like $1.76 TRILLION over 10 years (and I’d be willing to wager a significant percentage of that $1.76 trillion that this estimate is lowballed, too.
Interestingly, as Allahpundit at Hot Air reminds us, the only way they could reach their original under-a-trillion figure was to “engineer” a 10-year “cost” with only six years of providing benefits.
Trampling the U.S. Constitution…providing abortion despite claims it wouldn’t…trashing religious freedom…defining deviancy down…and costing us nearly twice the original estimate to do for Americans what Americans should and can do much better for themselves.
This tyrant and all his Leftist cronies need to be thrown out of Washington with all possible haste.

It was announced today that the leadership of the Boy Scouts has decided to abandon it's commitment to values and capitulate to the intimidation of homosexual activists and allow open homosexuality within the organization.
In an ironic twist, during former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman's appearance before the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, he recoiled when asked about his political activities in the past. Imagine the rudeness of a member of Congress asking a witness who is embroiled in a scandal involving the targeting of the Administration’s political enemies, about his own political allegiances.
In 2010 Rubio said we can't give amnesty to the people who violated our borders and broke our laws because it wouldn't be fair to those immigrants who have gone by the rules and done things lawfully. Rubio even went to the point of stating, "Earned path to citizenship is basically code for 'amnesty." Why does Rubio now disagree with himself?
In Great Britain, two Muslims hacked a British soldier to death just 200 yards from an army barracks. According to the Daily Mail, a video has emerged showing a man with bloody hands, carrying knives and ranting 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you', after a serving soldier was hacked to death by two men just 200 yards from an Army barracks.
Looks like I'm not alone in my distrust of "Republicans" to do the right thing. An elected Republican in the U.S. Senate says he doesn't trust "Republicans" any more than he trusts Democrats to do the right thing.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
