No need to hassle with killing the beast when you can more easily starve the beast.

I would also freeze the White House budget and chop it drastically. Enough elite extravagance. We don’t havethe money for it, they said they’d reign in wasteful spending, but they spend more of what we don’t have. Chop the purse strings, defund the White House.

The Republican house majority is justified to use any legal means at its disposal to destroy this monster known as Obamacare. I fervently hope they will ignore the howls from the left and do just that.

It’s going to be hilarious listening to the commie ‘RATS whining about the GOP “killing jobs” by defunding ObamaCare. It wasn’t about health care! It was about jobs for the communists in the SEIU.

I think we’ve all said that Obamacare must be defunded.

That could be a complex business. But if any of the current departments or agencies use any of THEIR funding to implement it in any way, then they should be defunded, too, as much as necessary. The prospect of losing their funding should make any agency hesitate to act on implementation.

For better or for worse, it’s always about the money. Every single aspect of our society is run by money. The Republicans control the House. If the federal government or (to a large degree) state governments do something (anything) bad in the next two years, the proper admonition will be “Follow the money” — and it will lead to Republicans who approved the badness. And those are the people we need to “talk to”.

"Hillarycare" died a quick death; Romneycare is dying on the vine; obamacare is much worse and much more expensive than either of those...oh, and they didn't have "death panels" either.

This sum is a small fraction of the $5 billion to $10 billion that the Congressional Budget Office estimates the fed­eral government will require between 2010 and 2019 to im­plement the ACA.

Sounds much to small too "implement" this curse on America.

No reason not to do both. It won’t take much to cobble up a repeal bill and send it on through to put everyone on record for the 12 election. We need to put in motion as many avenues to destroy Obamacare (and those who support it) as possible.

The very word: OBAMACARE turns my stomach. It was the same with Hillarycare.

I can think of only one program that memorializes an individual; The Marshall Plan, which was well deserved and did what it was intended to do. Then in stopped.

Wouldn’t the House also have to pass appropriations for the dozens of Obama czars, thier offices, their staffs, their programs and the like?

The Congress should put its foot down and just declare that if those czars won’t face congressional hearings, their offices won’t get any federal appropraitions.

If those pr*cks want to remain unaccountable, let them work for free.

Can UAW bailouts also be blocked in this way?

#1 Bill to repeal, If vetoed then continue.
#2 Defund as this suggest, But do not leave the framework period.
#3 Bill to repeal until complete.

Simple and does not leave this threat out there longer than possible, even though it is UnConstitutional

I wonder how many good, seemingly necessary things are attached to some of the “obamacare” legislation, so the Socialist Democratic Party can claim that “the heartless Republicans” are failing to fund “such-and-such” programs for the elderly, the destitute, disabled Veterans, etc, etc, ad nauseum? I believe these sleazy, diabolical dims carefully crafted Obamacare legislation in a manner that would make it repeal-resistent on its own merits down the road. Republicans are really going to show us what they’re made of soon. If they fail to at least vigorously try to repeal it then we’ll know which ones have to go next election.

Lets also defund all of these “Charities” like ACORN, SEIU, Progress for America and any others that are out there.

IF they are such worthy causes, then let them raise their own funds...

Thus Congress (specifically, the House) can just sit on its hands and watch ObamaCare wither on the vine. What could be easier?

Ah! The 'do nothing' approach - the liberal mindset speaks. Beware of deception. What 'looks easy' is never easy in the end. they both fight it and starve it. - DOUBLE WHAMMY!

'Sit on your hands' approach - LOL!! How the liberals only wish that deceptive method will be taken by the R's.

We currently operate with no budget.

We face a “lame duck” session.

My suggestion is we pressure the “lame ducks” at the expense of their careers to do nothing.

And then in January when the 112th Congress begins if the Dems don’t want to go along the Pubbies should vote to go home and shut DC Down until they wake up.

I know I am one of the “WE the People” eliminate any spending for Obummercare and Obummer. No money to be spent on the ObummerCare. He has spent enough - take away his toys - planes, helicopter, limosine . teleprompter. hi busget is now 1.00. He has an income that he earned in 2009 of 5 million. let him spend that. Anything else he was to spend is his responsibility.
