i actually accept the fact that Gruber nailed it in calling the liberal base stupid
Really? So you believe it is okay for a federal government to spend many millions of dollars to bully a private entity?
11 million? So how does that enhance Wal-Mart's bottomline when a contractor hired illegal workers. How do you know they lowered their fee to Wal-Mart for their services?
Were there other contractors available to do the same work? You seem to be an expert on this case although I doubt it as you cut and pasted what you want to believe but didn't read the entire article or want to believe that the illegal's didn't enhance Wal-Mart's bottomline
Please cite some examples of the Constitution being violated.
Have you been keeping up with current events? At all? Where in the Constitution does the federal government get the power to force us to buy health care? Where does the president get the power to make laws? Or decide not to enforce laws? Or do things (like make laws) that are reserved for another branch of government? are you familiar with "separation of powers"?
Can you tell me when the civil war ended?You said that the collapse of America began some 100 years ago. The progressive era probably never would have come about if the Confederates had won.
Executive privilege just means the Executive can keep his deliberations secret.I must admit, I am not familiar with executive privilege, and I won't begin to defend it. It's been around, and it's been used, but I don't know where it comes from and how it came into existence. The Affordable Care Act has, so far, been upheld as Constitutional.

Executive orders, when used to control and run the executive branch are perfectly legitimate tools.
However, using an executive order to create a new law or to change an existing law is unconstitutional and should cause a crisis. By failing to stop The One on the golf course early the Congress has created an imperial presidency, currently controlled by a lawless, megalomaniac.
The feds have a habit of shaking down corporations that do not give enough to the politicians.You're overstating the reality, but I do expect them to go after the guilty, yes.

The guilty are in government.

One out of two ain't bad.The Civil War ended in 1865, and the so-called Progressive Era is between the 1890-1920.
Yeah?
It's still cheaper than paying a living wage to workers.

Love how liberals believe they know what a living wage is for everyone else and how liberals always buy the rhetoric from others who don't have a clue as well. Let's face it, Gruber nailed it
Even though the SCOTUS upheld it, it is still not anywhere in the Constitution. Is slavery in there? They upheld that too.

The Constitution does not spell out every possible thing Congress can do. It's a guideline.
And hold on. First of all, don't compare slavery to a bill that attempts to improve health care for everyone in the country. That's dumb as ****.
Secondly, building tanks isn't in there either. Flying drones. I don't recall the CIA being in the Constitution. What about Air Force One? I don't recall that being written in by the Founders either.
Let's try to argue above a grade school level here, please.
Obamacare was never intended to improve healthcare.
Obamacare was never intended to improve healthcare.
Sure it was - for the entire country, though. The ACA improves health care by involving everyone. The more people with health care, the better off this country will be.
Or lower costs for those of us who didn't need an entitlement program to pay for our healthcare.
We're the ones it was designed to **** over.
...and pay for it.
It's wealth redistribution...period. That's why they had to lie about it.
