Obamacare bill includes $105B of self-funding for next five years
Given the contentious nature of this legislation, I guess we should have seen this coming.I just have one question: Is this self-funding something that is common or has any kind of relevant precedent? This basically ties this Congress' hands, which I would think would be highly unethical and illegal. Suppose we will see any arrests made? My simple solution: Immediately pass legislation through the house to immediately invalidate any self-funding aspects of Obamacare. If it doesn't make it through the Senate, shut down the government until it does, and whoever authored that section of the bill gets arrested on felony charges. Since Pelosi and Reid are responsible for that bill, they ought to be arrested, too. They should know better in their positions. And I'm sure they do. Bills should be limited to some reasonable size with a requirement that all language in the bill be directly related to a short title. No pork. This is why all legislation must be read cover-to-cover in front of Congress before it is passed, and anybody who has not been there for the whole thing should not be allowed to vote in a way that results in a non-reduction of federal spending.
