The Audacity to Lie - Gingrich Productions

Since advocates of Obamacare must concede their project is a massive tax increase in addition to bad policy, it should become excruciating to sustain politically even though the Court upheld its constitutionality. The Chief Justice virtually set the stage for this rejection when he wrote:
“The Government argues that if the commerce power does not support the mandate, we should nonetheless uphold it as an exercise of Congress’s power to tax. According to the Government, even if Congress lacks the power to direct individuals to buy insurance, the only effect of the individual mandate is to raise taxes on those who do not do so, and thus the law may be upheld as a tax…The Government asks us to interpret the mandate as imposing a tax, if it would otherwise violate the Constitution.”
Saddled with such unpopular policies and with a Presidential election looming only four months away, President Obama and his allies have just one recourse left: to lie, to manipulate, and to rewrite history.

Nothing new to this administration, but it is not considered accepted practice by the voters. But that is the only reason this Regime is able to get away with it.  Nobody believes they are this corrupt, but they are.
