Trump needs to destroy the SWAMP SCAMMERS MO......works like this.

Obama signs E/O's and memos, then "delegates" to federal agencies, his orders to come up with plans (that patriots recognize as advancing Boobamba's global conspiracy to overthrow the US govt).

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.

So Obama's E/O's are shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit if and when his orders fail.

Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums and various swamp denzens what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.

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

THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law.

No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it.

Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.)

i have known two people who really needed medical care...
one has been told she has to wait 3 or 4 months to have a painful hernia checked...... the second one had nine doctors all say they will NOT accept Ocare or Medicare patients, period

as far as these limited experiences go, it seems that O-care is pretty much worthless anyway. Expensive but not very good, needs to be repealed. Let local communities and states deal with things locally, the fedgovt is almost horrible at delivering high quality consumer services anyway.

I would not call the CBO nonpartisan.

Wait, wait, wait. So, people having their Rights restored (vs. ‘mandate’) as well as $$ (subsidy paid so others won’t ‘spend so much’ of THEIR own $$)....is bad.

But a ‘law’, that hasn’t even been fully implemented and still swirling the drain (premiums/copays out the roof, same # of ‘uninsured’) is good.

Gotcha, CBO. STFU and GTFO.

“Memo to President Elect Trump: Clean out the CBO”

The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) is Congressional.

Congress needs to haul out its trash.

Btw, isn’t this the same CBO that said Obamacare would be a net savings to the budget and consumers before the final crucial vote?

Why yes, yes it is. :)

“CBO is the government’s nonpartisan scorekeeper,...”

Nopartisan my arse. The left converged the CBO long ago. The CBO is also amazingly incompetent in their forecasts on costs.

The CBO is just another part of the swamp that must be — and will be — drained.

The CBO has long since been politicized.

No mandated coverage requirements, federal or state.

Suppliers need to fight for a place in the policy holder benefits manual.

Why on earth would the CBO even have a blog in the first place? They report to Congress, not the Twittersphere.
