Trojan Horse of $115 BILLION hidden in ObamaCare already loosed! Ah, Obama is consistent in how he treats the other two branches of govt and the American public. He does what he wants…

President Obama is consistent: President Obama does what he wants dispite what the other two branches of government do or the American public wants. Did you know that inside ObamaCare — the crown jewel of Obama’s administration — a Trojan Horse hides?

First some examples of how Obama just does what he wants and keeps on walking and talking with the same smile: remember the oil fiasco in the Gulf? Obama slapped a moratorium on drilling. And when judicial system said the moratorium must be lifted Obama’s administration refused to issue any permits. Even though held in contempt only one permit has been issued. Overall effect? No drilling in the Gulf so far.

Remember when Obama wanted a particular person to run the newly created consumer protection agency and could not get the person accepted by Congress? No problem for Obama — he had the person report directly to him and to Tim Geithner. That was a nice, simple end-run around Congress. That is the person who wants the big banks to eat 20+ BILLION by lowering the value of home mortgages.

Then there was President Obama who made 59 speeches to the American public about ObamaCare. His message: you can keep your doctor, costs will go down and 30 million people can be added to the system. And he and the Democratic Party rammed ObamaCare through.

What you did not know is that ObamaCare contains a Trojan horse. [For those unacquainted with the term it refers to a large hollow wooden figure of a horse (filled with Greek soldiers) left by the Greeks outside Troy during the Trojan War.]

Though the Democrats could not get a budget passed in 2010 they did appropriate 115 BILLION for ObamaCare last year. And that money is already available for bureaucrats to spend.

The Dirty Little Secret About De-Funding Obamacare
Several members of Congress, like Rep. Denny Rehberg (R, MT) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R.-Wash.) are offering amendments that would prevent any new spending from being used to implement Obamacare. Good for them. Those are important additions to the big spending bill pending in Congress.

But here’s the dirty little secret: Much of Obamacare is being implemented with money that was already appropriated last year. These billions are already available for bureaucrats to put Obamacare into force.

Denying additional funding for Obamacare does not de-fund the huge amounts it already is using for implementation. That requires additional action.

Even though the last Congress failed to pass other appropriations bills (creating the need for the currently-pending spending measure), that former Congress DID provide billions to get Obamacare launched. The money was directly appropriated as part of the health care legislation, rather than included in a separate appropriations bill as is the normal practice.

The details are in a Congressional Research Service report issued last October, “Appropriations and Fund Transfers in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).” CRS devotes seven pages to describing the billions of dollars already appropriated and which the Obama Administration even now is spending to promote that law.
Conservatives agree with the American people that Obamacare should be repealed. Short of outright repeal, leaders from 32 conservative groups in the Conservative Action Project have unitedly stated that the next-best strategy is defunding. As their report states, “The safest route for legislatively combating Obamacare is to defund it. Now that the statute has been declared unconstitutional, Congress should use the power of the purse to deny funding for the individual mandate, employer mandates, and writing the 100s of regulations need to impose Obamacare. Such legislation will not in any way jeopardize the ongoing litigation efforts.”

It’s good that a federal judge has declared Obamacare unconstitutional, but the White House insists it’s going forward anyway. It’s good that the House may cut off any new money to implement Obamacare. But unless Congress deals with the pot of money already provided, we won’t meet the goal of defunding Obamacare.
