You can start a program at a certain date.You can’t say that Congress can never repeal it.

You can’t force a congress in 2014 to implement a Trillion dollar cut.

” The problem is partly legal, partly political. Courts have long held that Congress cannot “bind” future Congresses—that is, it can’t force a future session of Congress to carry on its own policies. That practice, formally known as “legislative entrenchment,” is seen as privileging one group of lawmakers over another, “binding” future to the priorities set in the present”

That's why 0's in such a hurry to get the funding underway. He knows that the next congress could just as easily pull the plug on his obamacare as it could fund it. He wants to have a ton of money already invested in the monstrosity in hopes that that may cause the next congress to go along.

That's why we need MORE real conservatives to land in D.C in January of 2013 practicing their mantra-FUBO!
