How Congress Mysteriously Became a ‘Small Business’ to Qualify for Obamacare Subsidies
The Daily Signal ^ | 5/11/16 | Robert Moffit

It seems that federal officials have worked overtime to undermine public trust. Benghazi, the IRS abuses, the “fast and furious” gun-running fiasco, the solar power boondoggles, and the seemingly endless implementation problems of the Affordable Care Act—all these scandals have common themes: arrogant and abusive bureaucracy, double dealing, lame excuses, and legal hairsplitting.

The outrages listed above can be placed squarely at the doorstep of the White House. But one scandal is truly bipartisan: How key administration and congressional officials connived to create, under cover of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, special health insurance subsidies for members of Congress.

I used to wonder why countries overseas, or below the equator, used to go and clear out their politicians. Put most of them in prison, etc.

Now I see that it’s a gathering for festering diseased rats, who congregate (no pun intended) while robbing the bank.

And they cover for one another.

if DC operated as it should with integrity, honesty and respect for the people’s business, it would no longer be attractive to the greedy criminal minded (lawyers) who turn politician. Anyone who becomes a DC politician for the sake of bettering the country for the people would be working to eliminate every last one of the excessive freebies and perks they now receive. It would do for the people to seek and seat those kinds of folks to manage this country.
