‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card – guess what else depends on state-created health exchanges?

Looks like the Halbig decision may lead to another (pleasant?) surprise for many.

The DC Circuit Court decision ruled states with federal-created exchanges can’t qualify for fed subsidies, because O’care law says only state-created exchanges get them.

Guess what else only pertains to state-created exchanges? Mandate penalties.

According to a year-old Washington Times op-ed, text of O’care law “..unambiguously says that a ‘state must set up the exchange to enforce the tax credit and the mandate.”

For 36 states, sounds like consumers are off the hook if they opt-out of Obamacare. (The citizens of those states may want to check this out for themselves.)

For those in 14 states with state-created exchanges…thank Democrat lawmakers…

…because the Mandate Penalties toll for thee.

Losing Trillion$, to tax billion$…?

U.S. corporations are bugging out.

America has the world’s highest corporate tax, at 39.1%, and combining that fact with uncertainty of anti-business policies Obama threatens, they’re leaving the USA.

By ‘inverting’, they’re selling corporate ownership to smaller foreign companies, whose countries have a much lower tax rate that’s enticing the change in ownership.

Obama thinks that’s ‘unpatriotic’ and threatens to change laws to stop the inversions, which is ironic when you realize it’s Democrat tax policy that caused it to begin with.

Corporations have been sitting on trillions of dollars due to his anti-business agenda, refusing to invest in growth or new equipment because of the inherent uncertainty.

Now due to Democrat tax policy, they’re bailing out, taking that money with them.

If Obama tightens his corporate choke-hold, he could drive multi-national companies away altogether, according to Investor’s Business Daily.

Either way, Democrat policy is risking trillions…to tax billions.

The long and short of why Boehner should pull the House immigration bill

The short version…Obama threatens to veto it anyway.

The long version…see Bill Kristol’s penetrating Weekly Standard article.

Obama doesn’t want a reasonable immigration reform bill – he wants his version. The GOP should simply point out Obama’s failure to enforce existing law, his veto threat…

…the 356 House bills hidden and stalled by the Democrat-controlled Senate…

…and pull the immigration bill from the floor.

When ‘broad public consensus’ collides with ‘nothing to lose’, impeachment is the final logic

The much-respected Andrew McCarthy restates his case for ‘broad public consensus’, but forgets that the argument against impeachment does not follow a logical path.

One can only reap ‘broad public consensus’ by reasoned argument which irrefutably addresses and destroys issues that opposition forces raise…and therein lies ‘the rub’.

While Obama’s lawlessness and unconstitutional behavior justifies impeachment, consensus against impeachment centers on the fact Obama is the first black president.

And THAT fact can’t be refuted…thus, by Mr. McCarthy’s public consensus standard…

…Obama is unimpeachable…Regardless of his actions.

Obama and his minions will raise the specter of impeachment prior to the mid-term elections, because he’s not on the ticket…but that specter adds him to it.

Besides, Democrats are expert at turning a weakness into a strength. They will not allow the minor inconvenience of Obama not being on the ticket to get in their way.

With the IRS-Benghazi-Fast&Furious-VA-O’care scandals, they need something.

Political expediency…and Obama’s narcissism…demand he be center in the dialogue.

The national media lapdog will do the rest.

Democrats are using the impeachment threat to fund raise; are we expected to believe they won’t use it to get voter turnout, just because the GOP stays quiet on the issue?

It’s no longer a matter of WHO, WHEN, or HOW impeachment – or the threat of same – was initiated prior to this November’s midterm election…

…it’s now a question of WHY Republicans failed in their Constitutional duty.

Democrats pulled the trigger to energize their base, and won’t stop. The ONLY thing Republicans can do to energize its base is to impeach; not doing so turns voters off.

It’s best to remember ‘Beware of the man who has nothing to lose.’

Even with Republicans silent, Democrats and their media will scream impeachment between now and November, adding Obama to the ballot…and veiling scandals.

The GOP has nothing to lose.

Former VP nominee jumps on the BlueCollar ‘impeach Obama for fraud’ bandwagon

BlueCollar has made the case for a fraud impeachment (here, here, and here).

The esteemed Andrew McCarthy advised that the Obamacare fraud was impeachable.

Now Wayne Allyn Root, former Libertarian VP nominee, joins us by making the case.

Obama lied to us endlessly while pushing Obamacare. So did Democrat Senators.

Mr. Root just wants Obama’s scalp.

BlueCollar thinks Democrat Senators should pay as well.

We repeat…if the Democrat Senators (co-conspirators to the fraud) are impeached as a group with the Fraudster-in-Chief, the power of the Senate swings to Republicans…

…because impeached Senators cannot sit in judgment on themselves.

Roll over veterans…Democrat Senators want to give VA officials $360million in bonuses

That’s right…VA managers responsible for unreliable VA data can still get bonuses.

Just a month ago, the House voted unanimously to strip out bonuses for VA officials, many of whom had trampled over veterans’ bodies to cash in on them.

Now, in a move that shows where the Democrat Senate’s heart is, bonuses are back.

$360 million worth of reasons to continue corrupting the system, courtesy of Congress.

The Senate Democrat language in the proposed bill also puts in ‘access to an appeals process’ for fired officials who abused the system…and, oh yes…veterans as well.

Unfortunately, there is no appeal process for dead and dying scandal-abused veterans.

This latest VA ‘reform’ bill is a joke.

The problem was never too little funding…the problem’s always been too much greed.

Upper- and mid-level managers corrupted the system to get undeserved bonuses, but even then it took lower level workers to assist in the scam…while veterans were dying.

The entire system is contaminated with corrupt upper level management trying to get their finger into the government bonus pie, and lower-level workers willing to help them.

Undeserved bonuses desired…veterans abused as data is corrupted to get undeserved bonuses…bonuses ADDED BACK IN to reform VA practices? REALLY?

Call your Senators or Congressman, and tell them to forget reform. Vets deserve better.

Ask them, how many more veterans have to die unnecessarily?

Privatize veterans health care treatment…NOW.

The real reason Obama threatens amnesty executive action…?

BlueCollar believes Obama threatens amnesty, to create a diversion and dredge for any helpful inflammatory GOP rhetoric that can be used prior to November elections.

Recent polling suggests he most likely has no intention of keeping an amnesty promise, especially when we learn respondents were heavily weighted Democrat & Independent.

Democrats comprised 36%, Independents 40%, and Republicans only 24%…yet the numbers following would cause one to believe the poll was weighted Republican.

67% polled think illegal unaccompanied kids should be sent back to their country.

(Page 45 of the Economist/YouGov poll)

A majority of those polled think the illegal kids should be deported asap.

(Page 42 of the Economist/YouGov poll)

‘Immigration’ ranks 3rd in importance, behind only the economy and Social Security.

(Page 57 of the Economist/YouGov poll)

Unless Obama doesn’t care about losing the Senate this November, he would be crazy to use executive action to enact amnesty, in the face of these numbers.

There is one caveat: if Obama is making this play with an eye solely on the Hispanic vote, it should be noted that Hispanic respondents (more than any other demographic) see violence and instability in the illegal children’s home country as a significant factor.

(Pages 42, 43, 44 of the Economist/YouGov poll)

In that case, expect to see media reporting more often on violent occurrences in Central America, being carefully fed that information by White House communications staff.

But even then, if the Dem-Ind-Rep polling makeup is correct, numbers still may not add up…because the Hispanic bloc swayed may not offset the apparent overall sentiment.

Unless, of course, we’re not being given the right numbers.
