If you were awake when the bill passed, you might recall that NOBODY had the time to read the bill before it was passed.
The dems were repeatedly challenged on the fact that they had not read the bill they authored. Of course, the media didn’t care, as they were too busy celebrating teh passing of “obamacare”.
Little “gems”, like this 3.8% sales tax on home sales, begining in 2013, HAVE been reported, but it took a while to uncover, in the 2500 page bill.
Wait a minute.....a “federal” sales tax?
And—what is all this crap about having to “pass” a bill before it can be read to find out what is in it? Or to find out how it “works”? Has any Democrat been called to task to explain when and where this irrationality was ever authorized by the rules committee? Was it ever subjected to a debate on the House floor? All of a sudden several months ago it started appearing in press reporting on Congressional procedures. Where did this insanity come from?
What if we as consumers were told by the FDA that everything in the supermarket was going to be wrapped in brown paper with no labels or ingredient panels, only a price tag, and consumers would have to purchase the item first before being able to unwrap it to find out what was inside. How would that be any worse than what the Congress is doing to us now?
