Congressional Democrats and the Obama administration bet that they could force the states to do their will. When they lost their bet, the administration ignored the Constitution and ordered the spending of monies that Congress never authorized.
Brilliant explanation. I'm going to use this.
Obama must be made to pay. He committed fraud in his salesmanship of Democratcare, and then stole our tax dollars without authorization, and is committed to keep on doing so, after wagging his finger at US telling us we had to pay our fair share. IMPEACH THE BASTARD or the country is DEAD!
Yes, it is a brilliant piece by Barone. He’s fallen off in his election predictions in recent years likely because his data gathering is antiquated. But he’s always had the talented deep insight at describing and explaining complex law and politics in succinct summaries that readers can grab onto.
Also was a way to shift the pea around under the shells so the CBO scoring would come out the way they wanted it to.
For some reason, this reminds me of the scene in Cool Hand Luke where Luke holds up the tree-branch from which the snapping turtle hangs by his clenched jaws, and yells to the guard "look Boss, dead as hell and won't let go."
