The Obama administration is quietly diverting roughly $500 million to the IRS to help implement the presidents healthcare law.
The money is only part of the IRSs total implementation spending, and it is being provided outside the normal appropriations process. The tax agency is responsible for several key provisions of the new law, including the unpopular individual mandate.
Republican lawmakers have tried to cut off funding to implement the healthcare law, at least until after the Supreme Court decides whether to strike it down. That ruling is expected by June, and oral arguments last week indicated the justices might well overturn at least the individual mandate, if not the whole law.
While President Obama and his Senate allies continue to spend more tax dollars implementing an unpopular and unworkable law that may very well be struck down as unconstitutional in a matter of months, Ill continue to stand with the American people who want to repeal this law and replace it with something that will actually address the cost of healthcare, said Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), who chairs the House Appropriations subcommittee for healthcare and is in a closely contested Senate race this year.
The Obama administration has plowed ahead despite the legal and political challenges.
It has moved aggressively to get important policies in place. And, according to a review of budget documents and figures provided by congressional staff, the administration is also burning through implementation funding provided in the healthcare law.
Thanks STARWISE.
I do not understand but this is what he wants. I only pray we can stop all of this( laws and taxes) before he destroys the last vestige of freedom, of liberty, of America. I only hope we can take back the country in a peaceful vote so we can roll back the evil already upon us.

Looks like he’s already telling the SC what he will do if they rule against him.
Those 3 give the stooges a bad name.
