I’m not sure why the Founders thought that we needed different branches of government to balance each other out. Maybe it’s because they were a bunch of old white racists.
We seem to be doing fine with the one man rule of phone and pen.
The Obama administration has decided that the sequester’s mandatory spending cuts no longer apply to part of Obamacare.
The health care law provides subsidies to help low-income people cover some of their out-of-pocket costs. Last year, the administration said those subsidies were taking a 7 percent cut because of the sequester, which imposed across-the-board reductions in federal spending.
But now, the White House has changed its mind. It removed the cost-sharing subsidies from its list of programs that are subject to the sequester, eliminating the 7 percent cut for 2015.
The Center for a Responsible Federal Budget, which noticed the change, said the reversal would likely restore about $560 million to the subsidies—and require $560 million in cuts to other programs to make up for it.
Who benefits from the change? The low-income families who qualify for these subsidies, as well as the White House and insurance companies.
Time for more military budget cuts. Unlike welfare recipients, soldiers don’t vote for Obama.
