GM Commercial: Thanks for the $59 Billion taxpayers won't get back. Love - the UAW

from theblogprof by The blogprof


GM Commercial: Thanks for the $59 Billion taxpayers won't get back. Love - the UAW: "I don't watch a ton of TV. The news, a couple of sci-fi shows (currently Caprica and Stargate Universe), the news and football. Oh, and Spongebob Squarepants because the kids like it. But in the TV that I do watch, I am yet to see this GM commercial (albeit I refocus on my laptop most commercial breaks):

What's not said of course is that taxpayers will lose at least $59 Billion (yes - with a capital 'B'), down the toilet and into the hands of mostly the UAW. Recently, I posted on this:

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reiterated that the administration believes it will at least obtain $36.1 billion of the $49.5 billion GM bailout — the amount President Barack Obama agreed to invest in GM.

Even if that holds, which it won't, it's still a loss of about $13 billion. Only in the government world is this deemed a success. But there's even more to it. As I posted earlier this month: Detroit News spews Obama propoganda: Feds to recoup $36 billion in bailout money, fail to mention GM receiving $45 billion tax furlough. The tax exemption hasn't been reported in the establishment MSM. It will cost taxpayers $45.4 billion over the next several year. Add that to at least $13.4 billion that taxpayers guaranteed to lose, and we have a minimum loss of $59 Billion. Since Government Motors bring up the boxing analogy - no doubt using our taxpayer bailout funds - this is more akin to the reality of what has transpired between the taxpayers and The One:

New "ACORN" Names--- Same Old Jail Terms

from YID With LID by Jeff Dunetz


New "ACORN" Names--- Same Old Jail Terms: "

In the past we reported that ACORN changed its name in poorly masked attempt to shake off the 'bad image' it earned through the embezzlement stories, the voter fraud and of course the amazing efforts of the Team of Hannah Giles/James O'Keefe.



ACORN’s announcement of “bringing its operations to a close” this past April fools day was just another deceptive tactic designed to take the pressure off so they can continue their scheme of using public dollars and private donations to advance their radical progressive agenda.



The proof of the pudding is that even though ACORN renamed many of its state and local offices they kept the same employees and Tax Identification Numbers. For example, Affordable Housing Centers of America was formerly ACORN Housing. The new corporation has the same Tax Identification Number and Employee Identification Number as ACORN Housing, which received millions of dollars in funding from HUD.



No matter what they are calling themselves these days, ACORN has developed quite the 'rap sheet.' So far this year, at least 18 former workers have admitted guilt or been convicted on varying charges of election fraud.

But the group is still facing charges in Nevada on conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters.The trial, originally scheduled to begin Monday, has been postponed likely until next year.

Former workers across the country already are being punished for their criminal activities.

In Miami, seven former ACORN voter registration canvassers were convicted of 'false swearing-in an election,' and sentenced to probation and community service and banned from participating in future political campaigns, according to court documents.



In Pennsylvania, six of seven former ACORN workers who were charged in an investigation were convicted of unsworn falsification and interference with election officials. Four have reached a plea agreement on reduced charges and will serve two years of probation. Cases against two others who entered pleas to reduced charges are pending.



Charges against the seventh, Eric Jordan, are not being prosecuted because Jordan has pleaded guilty to much more serious charges, including aggravated assault, resisting arrest and carrying firearms without a license.



In Milwaukee, three former ACORN workers have been convicted of election fraud.



Last week, Kevin Clancy was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his role in submitting falsified voter registration forms before the 2008 election. Clancy will start his sentence once he finishes another sentence he is currently serving for armed robbery.



Clancy's co-worker, Maria Miles, who pleaded guilty to election fraud in August, will be sentenced on Dec. 6.



In September, Frank Walton pleaded guilty to submitting 54 fake voter registrations during the 2008 presidential campaign. He faces up to 42 months in prison and a $10,000 fine when he's sentenced Dec. 6.



In Washington state, Kendra Lynn Thill was convicted in March of voter registration fraud in the 2006 midterm election. In Nevada, a former ACORN supervisor pleaded the equivalent of a no-contest in a case alleging that canvassers were illegally paid to register voters during the 2008 campaign. But while Amy Busefink's plea acknowledges the state had evidence for a conviction at trial, her lawyer said she still plans to challenge the constitutionality of the state law prohibiting paying canvassers based on the number of voter registration forms they turn in.

All of those cases are local prosecutions, but ACORN's crimes are country-wide, there will not be a federal investigation.The FBI and Department of Justice opened an investigation and gathered some evidence. But Obama Justice Department, had to protect the President's buddies. While noting that ACORN had engaged in “questionable hiring and training practices,” closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.

By contrast, the documents also include records related to a federal investigation of ACORN corruption in St. Louis, Missouri, involving 1,492 allegedly fraudulent voter registration cards submitted by Project Vote, a liberal non-profit organization affiliated with ACORN on voter registration drives, during the 2006 election season. Assistant United States Attorney Hal Goldsmith initiated the investigation with “concurrence” from the Department of Justice and the participation of the FBI. According to a Justice Department memo, Goldsmith “advised he would prosecute any individual responsible for submitting fraudulent voter registration cards.” Goldsmith identified the statute for prosecution: Title 42, USC 1973 (gg), which provides for criminal penalties for fraudulent voter registrations. In April 2008, eight former ACORN employees from the St. Louis office plead guilty to voter registration fraud.

Like other moves by the Obama Justice Department, the dropping of the federal case proves that there are two sets of rules one for the friends of the President, like the New Black Panthers and ACORN and one for the rest of us.

NY Advocacy Group Helps Illegal Aliens Get Tax Refunds

from The Gateway Pundit by Jim Hoft


NY Advocacy Group Helps Illegal Aliens Get Tax Refunds: "

The Neighborhood Economic Development Agency, an advocacy group in New York, is helping illegal aliens recoup tax refunds.

The Daily News reported:

A Manhattan group is helping illegal immigrants recoup unclaimed state tax refunds – even if they used fake Social Security numbers to work.

The Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project got back thousands for a dozen undocumented New Yorkers who overpaid.

One bodega worker from Jackson Heights had been paying taxes since 2002 but never got a refund – until the group helped him get back $670 from his 2008 return.

“It really helped – we have two young kids,” said his wife, who says they pay taxes because “it’s the right thing to do.”

Thousands more could be due a windfall from the Department of Taxation and Finance.

“We’ve been getting calls from people who say they’ve been filing taxes for more than 10 years, and they’ve never gotten a refund,” said Deyanira Del Rio, the advocacy group’s associate director.

Since 1996, a growing number of undocumented immigrants have filed taxes using a special ID number, without alerting immigration officials.

They usually get federal refunds, but state paybacks can be held up because the tax department flags documents that have mismatched ID information.

The state demanded documents from immigrants who filed without W-2s or with fake Social Security numbers, Del Rio said.

The tax department said it is working with Del Rio’s group to identify taxpayers who are owed money and process their refunds, but added that most of the refunds requested by immigrants are automatically approved.

Preview for US: Debt Turmoil Fears Sweep Europe

from - Big Government by Publius


Preview for US: Debt Turmoil Fears Sweep Europe: "

From the Associated Press:

Europe struggled mightily Friday to keep the debt crisis from engulfing country after country. Portugal passed austerity measuresto fend off the speculative trades pushing it toward a bailout and Ireland rushed to negotiate its own imminent rescue.

As Portugal and Spain insisted they will not seek outside help, creating an eery sense of deja-vu for investors, Europe braced for what seems inevitable—more expensive bailouts.

The Portuguese Parliament approved an unpopular debt-reducing package, including tax hikes and cuts in pay and welfare benefits. But while that helped to avoid a sharper deterioration in bond markets, the sense among analysts was that the move had only bought a little time.

Adding to the pressure, Ireland’s major banks were hit with credit downgrades—one to junk bond status—as speculation mounted that the EU-IMF bailout of Ireland, to be revealed within days, would require investors to take losses, a possibility earlier denied by officials.

“This confusing `pea-soup’ of indecision, vacillation and disunity by the EU is beginning to create unnecessarily seismic waves of fear in international bond and money markets,” said David Buik, markets analyst at BGC Partners.

Yields in fiscally weak eurozone countries remained near record highs Friday, stocks slumped across the board and the 16-nation euro lost another 0.8 percent on the day to trade at $1.3241, just off two-month lows.

Portugal’s high debt and low growth have alarmed investors, but the government insists it doesn’t require an international rescue—a line ominously reminiscent of claims by Greece and Ireland before their massive rescues.

Analysts say markets need more reassurance from EU leaders that the rot can be stopped in Portugal before spreading to Spain, the continent’s fourth-largest economy—a scenario that would threaten the 16-nation euro currency itself.

The financial crisis took a step in that direction this week, as it increasingly becomes apparent that bond investors will not be pacified by austerity measures but want weak countries’ public finances to be plugged once and for all. Greece, which accepted a bailout six months ago, and Ireland are still far from being able to return to international debt markets.

Read the whole thing here. Keep in mind, Irish banks “passed” a stress test just four months ago.

Obama's IRS SS Denies Z Street Tax-Exempt Status Because of Israel SupportBut Hamas Terror Group CAIR Gets IRS Tax-Exempt Status

from Atlas Shrugs by Pamela Geller


Obama's IRS SS Denies Z Street Tax-Exempt Status Because of Israel SupportBut Hamas Terror Group CAIR Gets IRS Tax-Exempt Status: "

My friend and colleague Lori Lowenthal Marcus heads up the wonderful Jewish organization, Z Street. I have blogged on their wonderful work -- scroll here. They are a counter to the judeophobic, anti-Israel organization J Street (the J is for jihad). Obama's affection for the anti-semites at J Street (funded by Soros and Muslims) is well documented. Obama's antisemitism is meticulously researched and sourced in my book: The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America

J Street visits to White House: Source White House visitor log

Z Street visits to the White House -- zilch, zero, nada, zip.

An ugly, creepy environment, eerily reminiscent of pre-war Germany, has begun to emerge under the Obama administration. The IRS agent reviewing Z Street's application for tax exempt status said the agency is "carefully scrutinizing organizations that are in any way connected with Israel" and that "a special unit" is determining whether its activities "contradict the Administration's public policies."

Clearly, Obama is an anti-semite. Every communist, subversive, Islamic supremacist group, working actively against America gets tax exempt status (see Soros), but a tiny Jewish group is "contradicting the Obama administration's public policies"? And the Muslim Brotherhood is ...working with the President?

"Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?" IRS agent Tracy Dornette wrote the organization, according to this week's court filing, as part of its consideration of the organizations application for tax exempt status. "Describe your organization's religious belief sytem toward the land of Israel."

The document emerged in the course of a lawsuit filed in August by Z Street, a hawkish group that casts itself as the Zionist answer to the liberal J Street. Z Street claims that a different IRS agent reviewing its application for tax exempt status said the agency is "carefully scrutinizing organizations that are in any way connected with Israel" and that "a special unit" is determining whether its activities "contradict the Administration's public policies.'"

Z Street 2010-11-24 17:31:01 The Lawsuit

Z STREET: government continues its Constitutional violations

11/22/10 Z STREET today filed in court our Opposition to the government's attempt to have our complaint dismissed. Read about it here. The documents are now posted here. The case has been written about and/or mentioned in various places including Politico (read, if you can stand it, the talkbacks and see the infected maggotry of Jew- and Israel-hatred squirming just below the surface of mainstream American society) and by Drudge, but Ron Radosh's article at Pajamas Media gets to the essence of why this matters so much.

2010-11-24 17:31:01The Lawsuit

Obama's judenrein policy is in full throttle in Jerusalem -- and now he is bringing his Islamic antisemitism to America. His anti-American, anti-Israel policies must be fought.

Hamas and terror groups must have their tax-exempt status withdrawn.

The Ground Zero mosque Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan filed false tax forms and got tax-exempt status for the "Muslim organization" he founded after claiming as many as 500 of its members prayed daily in a small, one-bedroom Upper West Side apartment also listed as his wife's residence.

The Islamization of America must be rolled back. It is up to each one of us.

Write a letter to the IRS Enforcement Division. Include the Judge's citations that CAIR and Hamas are one and the same, and request that the IRS revoke CAIR's non-profit status.

Internal Revenue Service
ENFORCEMENT DIVISION
10th St NW & Pennsylvania Ave NW 20004

As you may or may not be aware, CAIR, also known as Counsel of American Islamic Relations, has been declared BY A FEDERAL JUDGE, to be Hamas, and HAMAS is recognized to be terrorist organization.

(From Attachment A)
U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis, cites "ample evidence" that CAIR participated in a "criminal conspiracy" led by the Holy Land Foundation, Hamas's main fundraising arm in the U.S. As a result, the judge refused CAIR's request to strike its name from documents listing it as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

As such, per Title 26, Chapter 1, Subchapter F, Part 1, §501(p), CAIR and all of it’s branch-CAIR organizations through the United States must be suspended as a tax-exempt status, and duly classified as a terrorist organization. See Attachment A for specific tax code.
See Attachment B for Judge’s Ruling – that ‘’CAIR is Hamas’’

See Attachment C for all chapters of CAIR, which must be suspended as a tax-exempt organization, including all subchapters of CAIR operating in any State in the USA.

Please reply with confirmation that you have received this letter, and acknowledgement that the IRS will suspend the nonprofit status of CAIR and all of its subchapters.

Thank you,

TITLE 26 > Subtitle A > CHAPTER 1 > Subchapter F > PART I § 501

§ 501. Exemption from tax on corporations, certain trusts, etc.

(p) Suspension of tax-exempt status of terrorist organizations

(1) In general

The exemption from tax under subsection (a) with respect to any organization described in paragraph (2), and the eligibility of any organization described in paragraph (2) to apply for recognition of exemption under subsection (a), shall be suspended during the period described in paragraph (3).

(2) Terrorist organizations

An organization is described in this paragraph if such organization is designated or otherwise individually identified—

(A) under section 212(a)(3)(B)(vi)(II) or 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act as a terrorist organization or foreign terrorist organization,

(B) in or pursuant to an Executive order which is related to terrorism and issued under the authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act or section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 for the purpose of imposing on such organization an economic or other sanction, or

(C) in or pursuant to an Executive order issued under the authority of any Federal law if—

(i) the organization is designated or otherwise individually identified in or pursuant to such Executive order as supporting or engaging in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act) or supporting terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989); and

(ii) such Executive order refers to this subsection

Attachment B Federal Judge Agrees: CAIR Tied to Hamas IPT

CAIR is Hamas -- Atlas Shrugs

_{Map and report by Steve Merley here}

"The evidence has long suggested that CAIR is a criminal organization set up by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas to further its aims of stealth Jihad in the U.S.," Mr. Yerushalmi said, referring to the fact that CAIR has been named by the federal government as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial.

Recall that the 5th Circuit ruled that Judge Solis must unseal his earlier ruling in the collateral matter arising out of HLF criminal trial in which CAIR, ISNA, and NAIT sought to have Judge Solis rule that the USG’s listing them as UCCs and/or JVs publicly violated their 5th Am rights. But, in so doing, he ruled that he would not strike them from the list, and he apparently proceeded to go through the evidence connecting them to Hamas, IAP, etc. (I say “apparently” because we could only infer this from the 5th Circuit ruling.) Then, Judge Solis put his ruling under seal and the trial brief, but not before, of course, it was public knowledge. A pyrrhic victiry for the Hamas boys and girls, to be sure.

U.S. adds yet another Islamic charity to terror blacklist

from Jihad Watch by Robert


U.S. adds yet another Islamic charity to terror blacklist: "

Yet another Islamic charity ends up financing jihad terror. Once authorities realize that this is one way for Muslims who are not prepared to join in hot warfare to aid the jihad, they will no longer consider this kind of thing anomalous. 'U.S. Adds Islamic Charity To Terror Black List Over Its Links To LeT,' from AHN, November 25:

Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) - The United States has added Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation, an Islamic charity group, which was the key aid provider to hundreds and thousands of flood-displaced people this year, to its terrorist black list over its al-Qaeda links.

There were speculations that the notorious Jihadi group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is blamed for 2008 deadly Mumbai attacks, was using the charity, which also runs ambulances' fleet across Pakistan, as its front.

Announcing it on the blacklist, State Department's coordinator for counter-terrorism, Daniel Benjamin said, 'LeT has attempted to use Falah-e-Insaniyat as a way to evade scrutiny. This designation will help put to an end to that attempted evasion.'

Benjamin added that the group's leader Hafiz Abdur Rauf along with two other LeT-linked men Mian Abdullah and Mohammad Naushad Alam Khan were also named on the list of 'specially designated global terrorists'....

Big Brother to Keep a Close Eye on Houston

from Moonbattery by Van Helsing




Big Brother to Keep a Close Eye on Houston: "

Rest easy, comrades — as promised, the Manchurian Moonbat continues to halt the rise of privacy. In Houston:

The city is installing 250 to 300 cameras at downtown intersections in an effort to prevent and fight terrorism and crime, part of a security initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. …

More than 50 cameras already have been installed around the George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green Park, the theater district and Minute Maid Park. Every downtown intersection will be equipped with a camera.

Even some parks may be getting cameras, lest terrorists launch an assault on Houston's infidel pigeons.

Don't worry about the costs. Taxpayers have plenty of money, and when that runs out, Ben Bernanke can always print more. As for privacy, we're told we have 'no expectation' of it anyway.

Maybe we could take our rulers' attempts to keep us 'safe' by putting us under microscopes at face value if they showed some sign of targeting the people actually likely to do us harm. But with political correctness taking such obvious precedence over security, it's hard not to suspect that public surveillance is an end in itself.

British Taliban fighter is cabbie in London 9 months a year and kills NATO soldiers the other 3

from Red White Blue News by ThePundit


British Taliban fighter is cabbie in London 9 months a year and kills NATO soldiers the other 3: "

RWB News: The Radical Muslims are so brazen now they are admitting in public they have taken over London and much of Europe using “Political Correctness.” A Taliban fighter in Dhani-Ghorri in northern Afghanistan last month tells the Guardian he works as a Cabbie 9 months a year in London while he kills NATO forces the other 3 months. Are you kidding me? “There are many people like me in London,” he added. “We collect money for the jihad all year and come and fight if we can.” Europe is in serious trouble and the United States is not far behind because of the broad term “Political Correctness.” The Brits need to pull ALL CABBIE LICENSES and run a complete background check on everyone.

The Guardian Reports

British-based men of Afghan origin are spending months at a time in Afghanistan fighting Nato forces before returning to the UK, the Guardian has learned. They also send money to the Taliban.

A Taliban fighter in Dhani-Ghorri in northern Afghanistan last month told the Guardian he lived most of the time in east London, but came to Afghanistan for three months of the year for combat.

“I work as a minicab driver,” said the man, who has the rank of a mid-level Taliban commander. “I make good money there [in the UK], you know. But these people are my friends and my family and it’s my duty to come to fight the jihad with them.”

“There are many people like me in London,” he added. “We collect money for the jihad all year and come and fight if we can.”

His older brother, a senior cleric or mawlawi who also fought in Dhani-Ghorri, lives in London as well.

Intelligence officials have long suspected that British Muslims travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan each year to train with extremist groups.

Canada condemns UN anti-Israel ‘hatefest’

from USACTION NEWS by Editor


Canada condemns UN anti-Israel ‘hatefest’: "

Canada will boycott the UN’s commemoration of an anti-racism convention in South Africa 10 years ago that was widely condemned for its anti-Israel agenda.

GLORIA GALLOWAY at THE GLOBE AND MAIL

EXCERPTS:

“Canada will not participate in this charade,” the Immigration Minister told a news conference Thursday. “We will not lend our good name to this Durban hatefest.”

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution this week to hold a one-day commemoration of the Durban conference, to be called Durban III, in September of 2011.

Canada, along with other Western countries, voted against the resolution because “we believe that the proposed meeting will only perpetuate the kind of objectionable, divisive rhetoric that led Canada to boycott this process in the past,” Mr. Kenney explained.

“Despite the fact that the Durban declaration and its follow-up have served, frankly, to fuel bigotry, the General Assembly has chosen to repeat and even augment the mistakes of the past.”

Obama - the Black Knight of socialized medicine

from theblogprof by The blogprof


Obama - the Black Knight of socialized medicine: "Since Nancy Pelosi's infamous speech in which she stated with that frozen, plastic smile that 'we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it,' everything has been bad news. Insurance premiums are increasing even faster than they would have if ObamaCare hadn't passed (Connecticut is seeing a 47% increase this year, Boeing is paring back healthcare benefits for its employees, while even the White House admits that seniors will see higher costs and less benefits, and 700,000 seniors are losing their coverage as a result. Hospitals in Indiana are laying off staff citing ObamaCare. Also, there was this: CNN: Cost of your health plan to rise 14%, the opposite of what Obama promised in runup to ObamaCare), and Obama's minions are threatening insurance companies with bankruptcy for even hinting that ObamaCare is the cause (it is).

The legal challenges that critics dismissed as frivolous now look like they are solid. And Obama is sweating. The exclusive role that the states have always had in regulating their own healthcare, the union exemption that violates the equal protection clause of the US Constitution, the 'Louisiana Purchase' and other kickbacks to states that also violate the equal protection clause. The commandeering of the state legislatures via Medicare expansion. And of course the most infamous of the unconstitutional provisions the individual mandate. The Obama administration has taken to arguing the individual mandate a tax, something Obama angrily denied in the runup to the vote. It won't work (taxing authority does not give the feds permission to use said tax for unconstitutional programs). Obama is now so afraid that different pieces of the law will be found unconstitutional that his regime has turned to the courts pleading for ObamaCare to be severed from its provisions, including the individual mandate. From The Hill via memeorandum: Administration: Health law can survive without individual mandate

Obama administration officials this week told a federal judge that even if the healthcare reform law's individual mandate is ruled unconstitutional, other parts of the law should be allowed to stand.

That argument, known as severability, is crucial to the law's survival should a judge rule that the mandate is unconstitutional. The administration made the argument Tuesday in a filing in Florida's multi-state lawsuit. The individual mandate is also being challenged in Virginia and Ohio.

'Some limited set of provisions of the [healthcare reform] Act cannot survive' if the mandate is stricken, the administration argues. 'Other parts of the statute, however, are plainly severable from ... the minimum coverage provision.'

...'If the individual mandate is found to be unconstitutional, as Virginia says it is, the whole bill falls,' Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News in August. 'The whole thing.'

The administration acknowledged Tuesday that major parts of the law — including the prohibition against rejecting people with pre-existing conditions and the requirement that everyone be offered the same rates regardless of their medical condition — 'cannot be severed' from the mandate.

Do you know what Obama has become? The Black Knight of socialized medicine:

Obama must know that the courts will lop off the meatiest parts of ObamaCare one unconstitutional piece at a time, and he's trying to hang on no matter what. I know what he wants to save most - the death panels. ie - the 15 member rationing board (read: comparative effectiveness that takes only 2 things into account - cost and age) first funded under the stimulus boondoggle and the 'Independent Payment Advisory Board' that will decide what is and is not covered. And it's already begun. The Obama administration via the FDA is deep-sixing miracle cancer drugs that extend life because they cost too much (ObamaCare begins early: FDA may pull Avastin approval OVER COST CONCERNS).

I will still control your healthcare!

The Constitution is simply a stumbling block to what liberals want to do. They go through contortions that make a pretzel seem simple by comparison to argue, if in fact you can call it that, that their actions are constitutional. When asked about the constitutionality of ObamaCare in the runup to the vote, legislators had no answer. Many tried and fell flat on their faces. Some Democrats have given answers to such a challenge in a way that can only be labeled as 'stupid.' Some, like Sen. Merkley claim that two words - General Welfare - let them do whatever they want thus rendering the rest of the Constitution irrelevant. John Conyers claimed a nonexistent 'good and welfare' clause, among other clauses he couldn't name. And then there was Rep Phil Hare, who said “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this” (he should have worried. Voters fired him). Of course he doesn't. Pelosi had a better answer: 'are you serious?' That was it. Sen. Leahy says that nobody questions such authority (I beg to differ). Sen. Warner totally dodged the question by talking about telephones. Sen. Mary Landrieu dodged the question altogether instead referred the questioner to constitutional lawyers! Sen. Blanch Lincoln claimed that the U.S. Constitution charges Congress with 'the health' of the people. Pro-life traitor Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska), who traded the lives of unborn babies for 30 pieces of silver, can't even answer that question before he was re-asked by CNS News. And Sen. Bob Casey is not sure if there's 'a specific Constitutional provision'. Don't you all feel much better now about the Constitutional competence of our lawmakers now? The White House, of course, claims no 'legitimate' constitutional concern. Obama himself said that he doesn't really care how things get done as long as they do. Back in April I had this: Judge Napolitano: 'Congress Spends More Time Avoiding And Evading The Constitution Than Upholding It'

Local cities like Mount Clemens MI are about to go bankrupt because of the increased cost of ObamaCare. That's in spite of the fact that Democrats have abandoned the claim that ObamaCare will reduce cost and deficit. Detroit area health insurance to jump 8.9% in 2011 due to ObamaCare. Texas is considering seceding from Medicaid entirely so they don't go into the red. The establishment media is admitting that you will end up seeing nurse practitioners, not doctors, for care. Insurance companies are being forced to cut coverage plans, the law is creating a huge doctor shortage, is cutting Medicare reimbursement rates thus removing doctors from the system via attrition, and to boot even the CBO admits that it discourages work. Obama's cronies are being exempted from the law via waivers. Every time socialized medicine has been tried, it's been a proven failure. ObamaCare is no different except that it can still be repealed before it's too late.
