Bill Clinton's Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Of 1995 Could Pose Significant Problems For ObamaCare
3-28-10 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on 03/28/2010 1:20:50 PM PDT by Anti-Hillary

Under this act, any new legislation that proposes a mandate on state and local governments estimated to cost more than $50 million dollars must have a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate and provide the funding to pay for the mandates.

How many states are going to have to deal with unfunded mandates that far exceed $50 million dollars and into the tens of billions of dollars each year and pertain to a host of services that will have to be funded by the federal gov't under ObamaCare?

If the unfunded mandates are funded, that would skyrocket the actual cost of ObamaCare.

Something else to add to the mix:

1.) The commerce clause deals with the regulation of commerce. How can the gov't regulate commerce if someone doesn't engage in commerce?

2.) How can the gov't force people to buy and sell and work jobs to buy and sell and engage in commerce? The gov't cannot force someone to work, so they cannot force them to engage in commerce.

Given the commerce clause deals with the regulation of commerce, the gov't therefore cannot force anyone to purchase health insurance coverage under ObamaCare, per 1 & 2.

Re-posting this in light of the Dems wanting to perp-walk CAT, Deere, AT&T and the like. They need to arm themselves with this.

BTW, mods you can flame me for reposting this, but I think in this fight all the ammo that can be put in the arsenal needs to see the light of day by as many as possible. JMHO!

I support you 100%. I posted links to Ken C (VA AG) and Bill McCollum (FL AG) plus Levin’s Landmark Foundation.

We need to also send it to the Doctors Association in NJ that filed suit in Fed Court in Newark.

Keep posting it. A lot better then some defending McCain, semi-satire garbage and defeatism.

You hit the nail on the head with this thread. This needs as wide distribution as possible.

King Soetoro don’t follow no laws - he makes ‘em up as they go!

Between this (great work, btw anti-hillary!) and DOMA, who woulda thunk Billy C might have laid out a couple of landmines against the libs.

King Barry makes me like Billy C. Never thought that would happen.

Well, there's this mark...

Facebook it to the group: “I bet we can find 1,000,000+ people who disapprove of the Health Care Bill”

The group has surpassed 1,000 since the bill was shoved through. Facebookers are spreading the word like wild fire. Lots of anti-obama young people there.

Another way to challenge it on a legal and constitutional basis, maybe the whole thing can be put on hold and strangled to death.

Yes! I would never of thought I’d look back at Clinton as good, but compared to the current occupant of the WH, he is/was.

It shows just how bad King Soetoro really is - he makes Clinton almost look patriotic, and that’s not easy to do.

1.) The commerce clause deals with the regulation of commerce. How can the gov’t regulate commerce if someone doesn’t engage in commerce?

Here we have a situation where the government prohibits
interstate commerce in insurance in the first place which
makes it even more confused.
