Lamar Alexander: Sebelius fundraising ‘arguably an even bigger issue’ than Iran-Contra
Washingtonpost ^ | 05/14/2013 | Sarah Kliff

LA: There is a law against what they’re doing and the GAO has also said an agency may not augment appropriations from outside sources. This isn’t a complicated thing. If the administration asks for $5 and Congress appropriates $4, that’s what they get. If the government creates a subterfuge by going outside the government, to raise money through a private entity, that’s a violation of the law. LA: If you read the report of the Iran-Contra select committee, it said that the executive cannot make an end run around Congress by raising money privately and spending it. That seems to be happening here. That was essentially the problem.

My contribution for your request to pile on:

Ponder this:

In the failed world of Communism, all functions of a Society are controlled by a Central Government.

Our Central Federal Government has been easily taken over by Obama to the gleeful cheers of MSNBC and others in the Liberal Agenda Media.

This is as good a time as any to take note of those who have willingly enabled the blatant Communist ideas and programs of Obama to take hold in our Central Federal Government.

It is also a good time to take note of the many dictatorial powers that our sorry US Congress has granted over many decades to the Administration Branch and related Bureaus of our Central Federal Government.

Just to balance our income with our spending, the Central Federal Government must reduce spending by 40 percent.

The longer we wait to “cut or way to prosperity” and repeal and abolish Federal Regulations, the greater our financial debt and less Liberty we will have.

For example, if Central Federal Government Regulations were reduced by 40 percent, our Society would be 40 percent further removed from control by the Central Federal Government.

Currently, there are 3 major Impeachable Scandals that our sorry RINOs could use to remove Obama from our Central, semi-Communist, Federal Government.

My question is: “Do our sorry Congressional RINOs have the POLITICAL MOTIVATION to Impeach and Remove B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia?”

Kathleen Sebelius is a big time Capo in the Obama Crime Family. She can do whatever she wants. If you don’t like it, she has people who will come an persuade you.

“Obamacare B*tch Did an End-Run Around MY Appropriations Committee” a bigger issue than dead ambassadors, wiretapping of journalists or IRS brute force being used to punish political opponents?

Is Alexander full of himself or WHAT???

He said it was bigger than iran-contra because that’s what was done the, getting money from private sources when congress didn’t appropriate. He didn’t mention the priority over other current scandels.

Well then, he may have a point. At least the Iranians got guns for their money. These insurance firms are getting a pure shake-down.

Sebelius is an idiot who has been allowed to get away with a life of crime.

Seeing that this is the 2nd time Sebelius has been caught abusing her position I guess a case can be made for using her own beliefs against her. Progressives love late term and even post term abortions so much, maybe she would qualify for a post term abortion.
