Why is everyone ignoring the fact that the top bracket was lowered by 25% and the lowest bracket was raised by 50%? Is this what we voted for, to reward the wealthy on the backs of the working poor?

Obama Siphoned off GSE Dividends To Prop Up OBAMACARE

ZeroHedge ^ | April 2, 2017 / FR Posted on by Zakeet

Earlier this month, Harvard Ph.D. Jerome Corsi of InfoWars (@jerome_corsi) and a CPA "who worked for two years for a major U.S. accounting firm as an outside auditor for Freddie Mac," confirmed a 2012 scheme hatched by the Obama administration.

The audacious looting involved funnelling hundreds of billions in dividends from Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prop up the failing Obamacare program - by paying subsidies to insurers to remain in the system. [Snip]

The conclusion reached by Corsi and others is that this was probably illegal. In fact, House Republicans actually sued the Obama Administration in 2014 over the fact that the subsidies to insurers weren't appropriated by congress and won, which the Obama administration appealed.

Zerohedge and the Atlanta Journal Constitution pointed out last week, the Trump administration has until May 22nd to decide whether or not to pursue the appeal: (Excerpt) Read more at zerohedge.com ...

===========================================

UPDATE: Trump and Repubs will not pursue the appeal.

THE ANTI-AMERICAN ROYAL IDIOT NEVER STOPPED LYING TO AMERICANS

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama had promised repeatedly that he would
not raise any tax on any American earning less than $250,000 per year. He broke his
promise when he signed Obamacare.

Obama screws-over Americans. Democrats are ecstatic.

THE STARK NAKEDNESS OF DEMOCRAT STUPIDITY UNVEILED:

Democrats need to be constantly reminded: "When you voted a straight
party line vote for Obamacare, did you know you were voting for:

(1) throwing Americans off affordable health plans,

(2) nationalizing 1/6 of the US economy,

3) installing IPAB's (healthcare rationing---death panels),

(4) decimating intergenerational transfers of wealth (grandma/pa's holdings go to the govt---not to Americans),

(5) pulling $750 billion out of Medicare,

(6) drug-rationing---death panels,

(8) abandoning seniors and the chronically ill,

(9) forcing healthy young Americans to subsidize healthcare for the elderly.

=====================================================

REMINDER When Dummycrats had the chance to help Americans hang onto affordable care, they voted AGAINST Sen Mike Enzi's 2010 bill which helped Americans keep their existing plans.

Obamacare was developed as a a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.

ITEM---- The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002 ---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion.

The reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.

ITEM--How $4.3 billion tax dollars to then-Sen Mary Landrieu (Dem-LA) was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Harry Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. Reid needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage.

In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---but $4.3 went to Landrieu not the $200,000 she had bargained for.

<><> Was Mary the baglady for buying the other senators aye votes?

THE LANDRIEU PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Landrieu sold her aye vote for a "price." Landrieu was bought off in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount.

You are claiming victory in the early stages of the process. This has two chances of making it through the Senate as is - slim and none. Slim left town.

Over ten years I assume. Where are the offsetting spending cuts?

Abby4116 says the reduction of fees to 0 was to pave the way for repeal, replace first, then repeal.

Ray76 had pointed out the fees were still there, albeit set to 0:

Does this bill repeal anything? if so, what does it repeal?,

Or is it just the “replace” part?

From what I heard and read yesterday, replace has to be done first so that the high risk, pre-existing condition people are not left without health insurance.

Then the repeal can be done.

Obamacare is like a Hydra. It is intertwined in many departments and areas.

This morning’s lead story on every LSM outlet is that Trumpcare doesn’t cover the bulk of PE’s that were covered in 0care.

Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump · 1h1 hour ago Big win in the House - very exciting! But when everything comes together with the inclusion of Phase 2, we will have truly great healthcare!

Abolishes Obamacare’s Chronic Care Tax on 10 million Americans with high out of pocket medical expenses.

I thought this was a tax DEDUCTION. I can't see Obama passing a tax explicitly on those with high medical expenses, for the crime of having high medical expenses. Doesn't pass the smell test... but then again, this is ObamaCare, so anything is possible.
