At the House Rules Committee (on-cam, fed back live), House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) tells his colleagues that it is impossible to "defund" the $105 billion in mandatory spending that was approved for the health care law that Reps.

Is that good ol’ ‘Gubamint Shutdown’ pork I smell bbq’ing on the grill?
Wow! Now congressmen have a whole new scam when they write bills. Just insert language that makes the money appropriated non discretionary. What a racket!
Congress, the only permanent American criminal class.
Defunding Obamacare is only impossible for RINOs.
Just tell the senate that nothing will get funded until Obamacare is defunded.
Are we being told that appropriations slipped into a bill by lies, deceit, and fraud perpetrated against the American people, can’t be reversed?
Are there people in prison today for committing IRS fraud?
And if the bill is unconstitutional?
Really makes the argument that we need to vote in the GOP to end this BS. They are a bunch of toothless tigers running around in DC. Did Pelosi stop to check the wording of things as they were jammed through?
According to Rush, it takes a suspension of the rules to defund Obamacare, and the Republicans want to show the country that they play by the rules.
Well, DAMMIT, it your enemy is hitting below the belt (and no one cares), at some point you might just want to do the same thing...either that or throw in the towel.
I’ve SICK of this ONE-SIDED ‘civility’.
(Rep, Norm Nicks D WA);" Dicks adds that they are trying to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. And he says trying to "defund" health care doesn't help their efforts."
Amazing....
Bret Baier is about to bash Michelle Bachmann.
Guess they have to prove their liberal-ness.
bttt
And that is EXACTLY why I think Trump should be POTUS. Current GOPers are way too polite and timid to do anything gutsy; Trump is already not well-liked, and I doubt whether he cares what anyone thinks.
Impossible huh? Come on Michelle, let’s see you do the impossible.
Defund HHS and every department that would be involved in implementing the spending.
So is it an owners lockout or a players strike?
This is BS, This is a New Congress,They Make the Rules ,they can Suspend Rules,This is a BS Scam. The Problem with Rogers is that he is too cute By Half. Change the Rules and Take out the Money or shut down the Whole Shebang,Period
Are you referring to that ancient parchment that sits in a case in Washington DC?
That's just a guideline. It doesn't really mean anything.
Or, no backbone.
