The U.S. Treasury Department has rebuffed a request by House Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R- Wis., to explain $3 billion in payments that were made to health insurers even though Congress never authorized the spending through annual appropriations.

nobody to enforce our laws on these scoundrels so they are nothing more than words on parchment
$3 billion in payments that were made to health insurers even though Congress never authorized the spending through annual appropriations.
It is also just plain THEFT and EMBEZZLEMENT, FELONIES EVERYWHERE!
Bribes.
The federal ‘government’ is nothing but a criminal organization at this point.
If congress did not appropriate the funds, then the spending was illegal.
Unauthorized spending! Who at Treasury okd this. They need to be spending some time in jail.
more time in the gym.
Methinks we are now a dictatorship.
All patriots should act accordingly.

Holy F***.
The Treasury is writing checks Congress never approved.
We are in the Fascist State NOW.
Lawmakers like Ryan will pontificate and "blow to the galleries".. but in the end they will DO NOTHING.
America is in much deeper trouble than anyone realizes.
Remember how we tea partiers had to fall in line and vote for the GOPe candidates this round, because it was so important that they control the senate so as to oppose Obama?
There is absolutely nothing substantial that Obama wants and the GOPe has had the power to oppose that they have thus acted upon!
Nothing!
It’s all because he is black,who ever thought it would be this easy to destroy the United States of Ametica
Absolutely. This is clearly a misappropriation of funds by violating appropriate authorization that is basic to every entity that has cash and assets to manage. There is no excuse under the sun for this.
Suckers!
So much for the power of the purse...Congress has been emasculated with the willing help of the RINO leadership. We are now living in a fascist state.
Congress should pass legislation to authorize the purchase and appropriate funds for bells and long horns with flags adorned for use in every public square. A new department would consist of employees to act as squires and criers. Then, in the future when Ø has a new edict, horns would be blown and the town squires would read them to the subjects.
Owebama is treating ACA as a blank check.
No need to think about it, we are definitely under a dictatorship.
If our worthless, feckless Duma which no longer represents us tries to do something about it the dictator will dissolve them in favor of a selected politburo. Don’t think it will happen? It already is.
Yes, all patriots should act accordingly, but in fact how many out there fit the term closely enough to take action at the risk of their lives or fortune?
I pray for that to happen while too many pray for God to directly sweep them away so they don’t have to take action that might risk their comfortable position.
It seems that nobody even considers resistance by the states or civil disobedience anymore; no, that would be stooping to their tactics.
The call should be to mount up but I will probably pass before that call for assembled action happens.
“If congress did not appropriate the funds, then the spending was illegal.”
So...do you think the DOJ will go after him?
The ACA is obviously ruining the US health care industry unless one is attached to the government and that was the plan all along. That is why plugs Biden through his spittle, uttered the words “this is a big effing deal” because it will and IS making many in DC very wealthy.
He got it from his stash. His Obama-stash.
