Obamacare—the Affordable Care Act—is both imploding from its own dead weight and conversely exploding in the face of the Democratic Party as we head toward the 2014 midterm elections. You remember the Democrats? They were the ones who, on Christmas Eve 2009 passed Obamacare in the late hours. It’s the bill Nancy Pelosi told us had to be passed “so we can find out what’s in it.”
The bad news for Democrats and worse news for Barack Obama is that, since it was signed into law on March 23, 2010, Americans have had three years to learn what a total socialist time bomb Obamacare is. If you wanted to destroy the nation’s economy, you could not have chosen a better way.
The crescendo of the backlash is slowly mounting. Writing in The Hill on April 6th, Sam Baker reported that “Delays in implementing popular pieces of Obamacare are hurting it with Democrats”, referring to policies they believe “could help build support for the unpopular bill.” Oh? It’s unpopular? Who knew?
For example, wrote Baker, a key program designed to “help small businesses…won’t be in place when voters head to the polls next year.” It would have allowed small businesses to choose from multiple policies for their workers. Obamacare, however, is really designed to ensure that the only party from whom you can get insurance is the government.

Obamacare is the “perfect storm” for the Democratic Party. It will swamp them in 2014.

The blame for this fiasco can be laid in the lap of the American citizens themselves. They have become the epitome of the selfish, all about ME people. Whenever there is the least bit of discomfort, they look for quick fix answers in order to keep the gravy train rolling along.
Delving into the Obozocare behemoth we can see that the central socialist government has worked a clause into this lousy piece of crap that allows THEM the right to transfer unknown sums of money from individual Roth and 401K accounts. That crap has yet to hit the fan.
You reap what you sow. And even if Reverend Wright, the former pastor of Prez. Obama was malicious in his intent, he was close to the mark when he said, "the chickens are coming home to roost", but meanwhile the lousy politicians are loathe to truly fight this menace and confront the evil Obama.
It’s the bill Nancy Pelosi told us had to be passed “so we can find out what’s in it.”
The people who vote for that Statist witch need to be disenfranchised.
wait until Obama starts bringing in Doctors from Cuba
I remember when America was a 1st World country..
I wish. But after November 6, 2012, I know I will never, ever go broke betting on the abject stupidity of the majority of America's electorate.
If all the current rules remain the same and Obocare is not repealed, then your 401k will be likely effected in three ways. It’s value will not increase very much because of the long term economic trends. Your return will be further diminished because of the inevitable inflation that will come. And finally you will inevitably be taxed on your payouts at a higher rate than they otherwise would have been.
All that assumes no change to the 401k rules. However, I would not be surprised if the rules are changed. I think the government will be forced to apply some sort of additional capital gains assessment of these funds because they represent an irresistible source of revenue. I really believe we are all going to be screwed for being responsible and productive.
For those working folk putting lots of money into retirement plans, bank accounts, 401Ks, etc., you may want to rethink this. Page 59 of Obama’s Healthcare plan will set up an electronic link between your bank accounts and the federal government. Even though Obama is killing the stock market with his harmful economic policy, it may not matter since stock accounts will be siphoned in the future anyhow.

Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.
Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
There is sound reason to believe Obamacare will run out of funds paying for illegals, etc. and will require funding. Why would they need this access
to your bank accounts if Obamacare is free?
How about the unaffordable and uncaring inaction act.

Obamacare will be propped up on life support with taxpayer money come hell or high water, and the IRS will be there to confiscate it in force, with force if need be.
You’ll know the country as a whole regards this as a disaster when the mainstream media stops calling it as “Obamacare” and instead only refers to it as “the Affordable Care Act.” They’ll do what they can to distance Obama from this train wreck.
Obamacare is the “perfect storm” for the Democratic Party. It will swamp them in 2014.
I think you are very wrong. It will not cause a ripple in the voting because the sheepie are happy to get "free" health care. They don't believe the doom and gloom.
I wonder if that’s what happened with FDR’s Social Security. Remember Social Security? That was rolled back as well. Kidding. I mean, there’ll be the initial shock, and then people will forget what things were like before Obamacare. So, is that what happened with Social Security?
It was designed to fail, on purpose. As we have been saying for years.
I’m very much afraid that you’re right. This piece of crap conjured up by shi- for brains DemoRAT politicians is the frosting atop the cake. Connect the dots: it leads to the demise of America.
Where oh where are the brave ‘conservative’ politicians with guts who will go after the weasel occupying the White Hut with red-hot gusto?
??? A peculiar statement to make when many of the equity indexes are at all time highs, whether this was achieved by productive economic activity (not) or by money creation and central bank asset acquisition (yes).
Talk to me after the manifestation of the Obamacare fiasco hits the proverbial fan!
With laws against hoarders and seeing successful charities accused of hoarding and not using their trust funds, it’s a matter of time for court appointed psychiatrists to confiscate your postage stamp collection and savings because you are insane to “hoard” and not trust the government. Liberals investing in 401ks were telling me I was insane for going in debt to beat the inflation and bet against such savings. Only stupid liberals vote for socialism and yet love to brag about their retirement accounts and socialist easy living. Didn’t they hear it is all militarist cultist system?
