They can relax about the health care law now that Obama has killed Keystone and gas prices are skyrocketing.

Thank you for referencing that article Theoria. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Never accept the premise of your opponent's argument.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

When Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR and corrupt Lyndon B. Johnson signed the bills that established Social Security and Medicare, they wrongly ignored the following. With the exception of the federal entities indicated by the Constitution's Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific powers to regulate, tax and spend for such issues, the states uniquely having the 10th Amendment-protected powers to legislatively address such issues.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

By establishing such programs, FDR and Johnson were exploiting low-information voters, voters who were never taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. FDR and Johnson dangled the carrot of constitutionally indefensible federal spending programs before such voters in order to get Democrats elected to federal office and keep incumbent Democrats in office.

challenging the traditional calculus about government benefits and political impact...“The angry opponents are more mobilized than the beneficiaries,” said David Axelrod, the longtime adviser to Mr. Obama.

Oops, the Dems figured that the takers would out-number the providers. That was what the idiots were counting on. The new misery index will spike into the red zone when this Frankenstein goes fully into effect.
