Despite anticipation that members of Congress and their staffs would have to obtain their own healthcare just like the rest of America due to President Obama’s massive healthcare regulatory act, it appears that Congress and their staffs will now be provided with full healthcare subsidized by taxes, and additional government debt.
Initially, it was understood that Obamacare would require members of Congress and their staffs on capital hill to go through government exchanges which are supposed to begin on October 1st, but apparently a recently discovered provision in the Obamacare law requires Congressmen and their staff to be covered by plans created in Obamacare, or that they be covered by one of the exchanges created. It is not clear where funding for the special subsidy will come from...

The Mike Lee/Ted Cruz petition against funding Obamacare is now on fire Over 260,000 folks have already signed it!!! Sign & Endorse today....right now!!!
“www.dontfundobamacare.com” ........Sign & Endorse the petition, NOW!!!
So, I am forced to lay off or lose talented employees and deal with a “brain drain” in our company because of ObamaCare, so we can't function.
But Congress exempts itself from ObamaCare so it can retain it's “talented” people so they have the staffing to write and pass more destructive laws like ObamaCare to further destroy American companies to put them out of business and American workers out of work.
Well, this reasoning would certainly make sense to the people that drafted and passed ObamaCare in the first place
If Obamacare is so freakin’ great, as Obama says, why aren’t the politicians begging for it for themselves???????????
It is the ruling class vs the subjects, AGAIN.
Here they come for the mugging.
People like Nancy Pelosi are not worried about Obamacare.
She has stolen enough and made laws enough to get she and her husband as rich as Midas. Plus their insider trading that is illegal for the rest of us.
Anyone who thinks Pelosi and her rich Democrat friends are caring one lick about the rest of America is a damned fool.
All they care about is their power , and money, she stays in Congress because she just loves having her ass kissed by staffers and people looking for favors.

This list will help make since of why
1963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.
1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of “moral strength”
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings”, substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. “ Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art”.
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy”.
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch”
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state”
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man”.
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of “the big picture:” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a “united force” to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
“So, I am forced to lay off or lose talented employees and deal with a “brain drain” in our company because of ObamaCare, so we can’t function.
But Congress exempts itself from ObamaCare so it can retain it’s “talented” people so they have the staffing to write and pass more destructive laws like ObamaCare to further destroy American companies to put them out of business and American workers out of work.”
You got it. And guess what? YOUR taxes and sweat and hard-earned money is paying for ‘all’ of it. Great system we’ve “transformed” into, eh?
Democrats run the “do as I say and NOT as I do” party...
Back in the day, when dealing with pathologically dysfunctional programs, we used to call this a “self correcting problem” if things were not turned around.
We are in for a heck of a correction on so many levels.
There is some validity to the concerns that many of our political class have bought into the Cloward -Piven strategy for social change.
Politicians, regardless of motivations or intentions, have worked the system so that now the country is potentially nearing a scenario that resembles the intended end game of that strategy.
Many of those involved are now realizing that the rhetoric spouted by to naive academics and their sycophantic acolytes and to self proclaimed advocates for the “oppressed and the poor” which sounds good on on campus and Sunday talk shows is going to lead to unimaginably bad consequences when it's goals are realized.
Many of Pols have dedicated their lives and careers to forcing through the Long March to get us to where we are today are in full “be careful what you wish for, it may come true” mode and are beginning to panic.
Unfortunately, they have created a situation with consequences where there is much to panic about.
