ABC, NBC and CBS PROP UP OBAMACARE WITH BLATANT PROPAGANDA

You'd never know that sixty-six percent of Americans disapprove of ObamaCare if you watched the liberal media!

 Even as this horrendous healthcare law destroys jobs, increases our national debt and kicks more than 6 million Americans off of their current healthcare plans, the media prop up the president's signature healthcare law; this is disgraceful, blatant propaganda, and it must be stopped!

 When the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that ObamaCare will cause more than two million Americans to reduce their work hours or leave the workforce altogether, all three major networks (ABC, NBC and CBS) echoed the White House talking points that less hours for America workers is a good thing, since workers "are choosing to spend more time with their families." 

Who believes the stupidity of that kind of logic???

 In just 3 months, HealthCare.gov will have spent $52 million of our tax dollars on paid advertising to promote a program that the majority of Americans flat out don't want.  As the Administration institutes another delay in ObamaCare tailored around the November Congressional elections, not a single network evening newscast touched the story.

It's obvious that the liberal media have an agenda: to mend Obamacare's unraveling support, keeping the public in the dark about its damaging impact, and assisting Obama in taking over more control of our lives.

This is not journalism . . . it's left-wing propaganda designed to protect the Obama Administration and impose government-run healthcare on the American people. Take action now to help stop it!  Call or write your Congressmen and urge them to stop these actions; and make sure you vote for conservative candidates to apply better checks and balances to block the Obama agenda.

HOW IMPERIAL DICTATOR OBAMA HAS KILLED THE ECONOMY WITH HIS POLICIES

This month marks the fifth anniversary of the Chrysler bankruptcy. President Obama will doubtless mark the occasion by talking about how his intervention saved the auto company. More noteworthy, however, is how the lawlessness of that intervention created tremendous uncertainty, which still chills the economy today.

Todd Zywicki has written an excellent summary of Obama’s actions in the Chrysler bailout.  A shorter version posted in 'The Foundry' goes like this.

Starting under President Bush and continuing under Obama, the federal government used TARP funds to keep Chrysler afloat.  This gave the government effective control over Chrysler. As a result, the Obama administration was able to call the shots when it put Chrysler through bankruptcy.

Under long-established bankruptcy rules, holders of “secured debt” are rightfully owed 100 percent of what they loaned the company.  However, the Administration decided it would not play by those rules.  Instead, it decreed, holders of secured debt would receive only 29 cents on the dollar. Meanwhile, it decreed that the United Auto Workers, which had no secured creditor rights, would get 40 cents on the dollar.

This arrangement knocked the notion of secured debt on its head.  Businesses offer creditors secured debt when they are struggling to maintain their operations. The assurance that they will get paid back first and in whole if the business declares bankruptcy is what makes lenders more to make such a risky loan.  In Chrysler’s case, most of its secured creditors were large financial institutions, but others taking the risk included Indiana state teacher and police pension funds.

When these creditors balked at accepting the Administration’s offer of less than a third of what they were rightfully owed, Obama chastised them publicly, complaining that they refused to make sacrifices and work constructively, and were holding out for “an unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout.” Since most of the financial institutions holding Chrysler secured debt also had accepted TARP funds, they ultimately yielded to White House pressure and the bankruptcy went through on the President’s law-breaking terms.

For businesses and investors, the process was highly disconcerting.  Both need to know that the rule of law will be upheld consistently.  It is the only way they can be certain that contracts and agreements mean anything. When they aren’t sure the law will recognize their rights, they reduce their activities until certainty returns.

When bankruptcy law is undermined, it’s particularly troubling.  Investing in financially challenged companies is especially risky. Investors need to know how much they stand to lose if the investment does go belly up. By undermining bankruptcy law, the Obama administration made it difficult for investors to gauge whether or not they can absorb such high-risk investments.

Five years on, it is clear the uncertainty is not only slowing investments in companies that could go bankrupt. Investors are providing financing to help businesses replace worn-out equipment and conduct other routine functions.  But they have not returned to taking on other types of riskier investments needed to restore economic growth to where it should be.

The lag in investment shows up clearly when comparing the growth of business investment in the current recovery to that after the similarly severe 1982-1983 recession. After the earlier recession ended, business investment was almost 27 percent greater than its pre-recession peak four years into the recovery. Four years following the end of the latest recession, business investment is just 5.5 percent above its pre-recession height.

Some might argue that the Chrysler bankruptcy was a unique situation and is unlikely to happen again. Therefore, it cannot possibly still be impairing the economy. That argument might hold weight if the Obama administration hadn’t continued to exhibit lawless behavior time and time again.  For example, it has unilaterally “amended” the Affordable Care Act 38 times and acted with similar imperiousness on issues ranging from energy to education to welfare policy.

Such behavior signals to businesses and investors that President Obama won’t hesitate to overturn the law again whenever it suits his interests. This has perpetuated the uncertainty originally created by the Chrysler bankruptcy, and there is no sign that it will abate any time soon.

Uncertainty is bound to persist as long as Obama remains in the Oval Office, unless he has a change of heart and openly declares that he will steadfastly abide by the rule of law for the remainder of his presidency. Since that is profoundly unlikely, we are looking at a minimum of three more years of economy-slowing uncertainty.

That is a long time to wait, but such are the consequences of unsettling something as foundational to the economy as the rule of law.

TOP 10 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT IN 2014

Thanks to Allen West for this gem (allenbwest.com)

10. I’ll vote Democrat because I can’t wait for college football season to be delayed or cancelled because the student athletes are union employees.

8. I’ll vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.



7. I’ll vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.



6. I’ll vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.



5. I’ll vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.

And the Number One reason I’ll vote Democrat is:

DIRECTIONS TO START WORLD WAR III

Start by electing someone not qualified to be the President of the United States. Make sure he is a devout Muslim loyal to his Muslim friends who hate the United States, make sure that illegitimate President selects someone as clueless and incompetent as John Kerry as the Secretary of Defense, and then let a ruthless former KGB thug walk all over him on the world stage.

Ah, I almost forgot. Make sure that person is such an imbecile that despite ALL the evidence to the contrary, he still somehow thinks HE has the upper hand against the KGB thug. Then be sure to fire 250+ of the top military minds of the country if they are not willing to fire on the Tea Party if asked to. When any remaining military minds give suggestions, make sure this same schmuck ignores them all, uses the same brilliance and executive experience never used to run so much as as lemonade stand, and make sure he goes about staying the course with his already proven inept foreign policy ideas. 

When all else fails, be sure to let a rogue nation like Iran go Nuclear, shrink your military because you've destroyed the only remaining super power's economy to afford the military, and then blame it all on income inequality and George Bush.

Any questions?

ADD THURSDAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE 27 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ALREADY MADE TO OBAMACARE

This is another ILLEGAL and UNILATERAL change to add to the 10 or more illegal changes that Obama has already made.  This one seems to delay controversy and uproar over his administration until after the senatorial elections in November.  Why aren't the Republicans challenging him on this?  Why are they letting this idiot get away with his dictatorial actions?  Check out this informative article from the National Review Online if you have any concern at all about Obama's imperial actions.

By Grace-Marie Turner & Tyler Hartsfield

Obama’s announcement Thursday of another illegal change to his health-care law continues a long pattern of trying to fix his fatally flawed signature legislation by administrative fiat.

More than 27 changes already have been made to ObamaCare, including at least 15 that have been signed into law by President Obama.  A large number of changes have been made to a law that has not yet fully taken effect, but they haven’t stopped the cascade of failures we are seeing today.

Measures are gaining bi-partisan support in Congress to help the millions of people who are losing their health insurance.  The Keep Your Plan Act, sponsored by Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-MI, will be considered in the House this week. A companion measure is being offered in the Senate by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-WI.  Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-LA, is offering the Keeping the Affordable Care Act Promise Act, which takes a different approach but has a similar goal.

Some who have been vigilant in helping the American people see ObamaCare’s manifold failures are opposing these measures, worrying about making “a fix” to this fatally flawed law. But the Keep Your Plan Act will not alter the corrupting core of ObamaCare; instead, it will provide some real-time relief to people who are being hurt by this law, people who are losing health insurance that they value because it doesn’t comply with strict ObamaCare rules.

It is incumbent on public servants, whatever their political affiliation, to protect people from clear harm whenever they can.  If the president continues to resist changes to the law, it is clear he is putting preservation of his legacy ACA program above protecting actual people.

The HealthCare.gov website is unlikely to be fixed by the end of November, as the president has assured the American people it would be.  The Upton bill being considered by the House is a first step to try to stem the tide of cancellations that have been occurring, and which will continue to occur, as a result of ObamaCare.  This will not “fix” the law in any way, but it could give people a chance to keep coverage they might otherwise have lost.

ObamaCare must go, but in the meantime, the American people’s elected representatives can help as many families as possible keep the health insurance they like.

The 27 “fixes” that already have been made to the law have not made it better but have indeed protected some Americans from even further damage.

Here is the list.  It shows changes made by the Obama administration; changes made by the 111th Congress (under Democratic control of the House) and signed by President Obama; changes made by the 112th and 113th Congresses (under Republican control of the House) and signed by the president; and changes made by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Changes to the health law by administrative action:

    Congressional opt-out.  The administration gave Members of Congress and their staffs the option of exempting themselves from the ObamaCare exchanges created by the ACA, contrary to the language in the law. ( September 30, 2013)
    Exchange enrollment: The administration extended by six weeks – from February 14 to March 31, 2014 – the period in which people can enroll for coverage and avoid the individual mandate tax penalty. (October 23, 2013)
    Employer mandate delay: By an administrative action that also is contrary to statutory language in the ACA, the reporting requirements for employers were delayed by one year. (July 2, 2013)
    Self-attestation:  Because of the difficulty of verifying income after the employer reporting requirement was delayed, the administration decided it would allow “self-attestation” of income by applicants for health insurance in the exchanges.  (This was later partially retracted after congressional and public outcry over the likelihood of fraud.) (July 15, 2013)
    Small businesses on hold: The administration said that the federal exchanges for small businesses would not be ready by the 2014 statutory deadline. Instead, officials delayed until 2015 implementation of federal SHOP exchanges for small businesses. (March 11, 2013)
    Close high-risk pool:  The administration decided to halt enrollment in federal high-risk pools, blocking coverage for an estimated 40,000 new applicants, and decided, rather than using money from a fund under HHS Secretary Sebelius’ control to extend coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions, to instead use the money to pay for advertising for ObamaCare enrollment. (February 15, 2013)
    Medicare Advantage patch:  The administration ordered an advance draw on funds from a Medicare bonus program in order to provide extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans to temporarily forestall cuts in benefits and therefore delay exodus of MA plans from the program. (April 19, 2011)
    Reports for employee: The administration, contrary to the legislation, instituted a delay by one year in the requirement that employers must report to their employees on their W-2 forms the full cost of their employer-provided health insurance. (January 1, 2012)
    Doubling allowed deductibles: Because some group health plans use more than one benefits administrator, plans are allowed to apply separate patient cost-sharing limits to different services, such as doctor/hospital and prescription drugs on group health plans. (February 20, 2013)
    Low-income basic plan delayed:  The administration delayed implementing the Basic Health Program until 2015.  It would have provided more affordable health coverage for certain low-income individuals not eligible for Medicaid. (March 22, 2013)

Changes to the health law by Congress and signed into law by President Obama:
    1099 repealed:  Congress repealed the paperwork (“1099”) mandate that would have required businesses to report to the IRS all of their transactions with vendors totaling $600 or more in a year. (April 14, 2011)
    CLASS out:  Congress repealed the unsustainable CLASS (Community Living Assistance Services and Supports) long-term care government “insurance” program which even the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee dubbed a “Ponzi scheme of the first order.” (January 2, 2013)
    Cut Co-ops:  Congress cut $2.2 billion from the “Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan” (CO-OP) program, which had been called a “stealth public plan,” blocking creation of co-ops in about half the states after early reports showed many co-ops were very troubled financially. (January 2, 2013)
    No free-choice vouchers:  Congress repealed a program, supported by Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, D, that would have allowed “Free Choice Vouchers,” which The Hill warned “could lead young, healthy workers to opt out” of their employer plans, “driving up costs for everybody else.” The same law barred additional funds for the IRS to hire new agents to enforce the health care law. (April 15, 2011)
    No Medicaid for rich seniors: Congress saved taxpayers $13 billion by changing how the eligibility for certain programs is calculated under ObamaCare. Without the change, a couple earning as much as much as $64,000 would still have been able to qualify for Medicaid. (November 21, 2011)
    CO-OPs, IPAB, IRS:  Congress made further cuts to agencies implementing ObamaCare. It trimmed another $400 million off the CO-OP program; cut another $305 million from the IRS to hamper its ability to enforce the law’s tax hikes and mandates; and rescinded $10 million in funding for the controversial Independent Payment Advisory Board. (December 23, 2011)
    Slush fund savings:  Congress slashed another $11.6 billion from the Prevention and Public Health slush fund and $2.5 billion from ObamaCare’s “Louisiana Purchase.” (February 22, 2012)
    More Louisiana cash:  One of the tricks used to get ObamaCare through the Senate was the special Louisiana Purchase deal for Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-LA.  Congress saved another $670 million by rescinding additional funds that gave a special deal to her home state. (July 6, 2012)
    Medicare trust transfer:  Congress rescinded $200 million of the $500 million transfer from the Medicare Part A and Part B trust funds for the Community-Based Care Transition Program established and funded by ACA. (March 26, 2013)
    Military benefits: Congress clarified that health care provided under TRICARE constitutes minimal essential health care coverage as required by ACA. (April 26, 2010)
    VA benefits:  Congress also clarified that health care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs constitutes minimal essential health care coverage as required by ACA. (May 27, 2010)
    Drug clarification:  Congress modified the definition of average manufacturer price (AMP) to include inhalation, infusion, implanted, or injectable drugs that are not generally dispensed through a retail community pharmacy. (August 10, 2010)
    Doc Tax Fix: Congress modified the amount of excess premium tax credits that individuals would have to repay to help offset the costs of the postponement of cuts in Medicare physician payments called for in the ACA. (December 15, 2010)
    Adoption credit: Congress extended the nonrefundable adoption tax credit through tax year 2012. (December 17, 2010)
    Adult children: TRICARE coverage was extended to dependent adult children up to age 26. (January 7, 2011)

Changes to the health law by the U.S. Supreme Court:

In its landmark decision challenging the ACA’s individual mandate and other provisions, the U.S. Supreme Court modified by judicial edict two key provisions of the law:

    Medicare expansion voluntary: The court made it voluntary rather than mandatory for states to expand Medicaid eligibility to people with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level.
    Individual mandate is a tax: The court determined that the mandate that Americans must purchase government-approved health insurance could be avoided if individuals choose instead to pay the penalty “tax,” making it optional for people to either comply or pay the tax.

And in addition, a number of other provisions have strong bi-partisan support for repeal and could be next in line.  A few examples:

    Delay of the individual mandate by at least a year, supported by West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin
    Repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, supported by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-CA and many others
    Repeal/delay the tax on medical devices, with bi-partisan support from Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar and others
    Repeal/delay the other taxes, including the health insurance tax and tax on policies outside the exchanges to pay for risk adjustments inside the exchanges.

Clearly, this law is being dismantled even before it takes full effect because it is so fatally flawed.

ARE THERE ANY AGENCIES LEFT WITHOUT S.W.A.T. TEAMS? WHY IS OBAMA FIRING SENIOR GENERALS AND BUILDING UP HIS OWN ARMY? HMMMM!

Did you think it was odd when the I.R.S. got a S.W.A.T. team? Seems a little strange for a government that wants so badly to rid the nation of guns right? What about when the EPA got their own S.W.A.T. Team? After all, why wouldn’t the Environmental Protection Agency need a S.W.A.T. teams right? Totally logical right????

The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons” (PDW) — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians. The solicitation, originally posted on June 7, 2012, comes to light as the Obama is calling for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines.  Seems odd, doesn't it?

How about when the Social Security Administration got their own S.W.A.T. Team? Did you find that a bit odd? Nah, me neither. Seems TOTALLY legit right? I tell you what though… I had to at least BEGIN asking questions when I head the Department of Education was stockpiling firearms and ammo. You too, right? Don’t you find that interesting? There were also articles when the Feds FINALLY Admitted They Were Drying Up the Ammo Supply Nationwide. Why? Makes you wonder huh?

I forgot… last week SUPREME COURT JUSTICE Scalia said, “YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF IF YOU THINK’ INTERNMENT CAMPS COULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN… NOW, the POST OFFICE is loading up? What the hell is going on?
