Appearing at the Club for Growth Economic Summit in Manalapan, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann levied some serious allegations at President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi regarding the manner in which they effectively hid $105 billion dollars in future funding during the passage of the now unconstitutionally-held Obamacare federal health care law. Instead of respecting the right of future Congresses to determine how much money should be spent on the law, Reid and Pelosi included several years of current and future appropriations for ObamaCare- a decision that almost certainly was made knowing what fate awaited Democrats if they were to pass such an unpopular law.
“This is one of the most egregious deceptions in modern times. ” – Michele Bachmann
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Bachmann contends that the $105 billion has already been appropriated to the HHS Secretary Sebelius for ObamaCare through FY2019- it’s probable that a good chunk of that figure would be allocated towards those so-called “freebies” that President Obama is forcing insurance companies to give its customers in order to convince them just how magical and “free” ObamaCare is. In the wake of the Obama Administration’s near borderline contempt of a federal district court ruling that declared ObamaCare unconstitutional, the pre-emptive $105 billion in funding is yet another potential stumbling block for those who wish to defund and ultimately repeal the law.
Now Congresswoman Bachmann is throwing down the gauntlet against her own leadership. In a direct challenge to Speaker John Boehner, Bachmann stated that if there is no language in the forthcoming continuing resolution that explicitly defunds ObamaCare, she and many other of her colleagues will not support that continuing resolution because it is only delaying a decision on the defunding of ObamaCare.
“They will not give him (Boehner) the vote unless he includes our language to defund ObamaCare with current money, future money, or past money, including the $105 billion that’s already been allocated. We will not give him our vote, so we are telling Boehner to draw the line in the sand.”
