Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. sold America down the river with his incomprehensible ruling that Obamacare is somehow constitutional when considered to be a tax. As such, it is the largest tax hike in U.S. history.
This mother of all federal programs will jack up the unfunded liabilities of America’s welfare state by a heart-stopping $17 trillion, according to the Senate Budget Committee.
Much of this burden will fall on the states where the programs are implemented. Some governors are vowing they will ignore President Obama’s national health care law.
In an exclusive interview with The Washington Times, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said, “I will not implement this law. Florida will not implement Obamacare.”
He said there are three things states can do to resist this massive federal power grab.
The first is opt out of the planned Medicaid expansion to those over the poverty line. “This program is already bankrupting state budgets because it’s growing three-and-a-half times faster than state revenue,” he explained. From the start, the expansion would cost the Sunshine State an extra $1.9 billion annually. That hunk of cash will be taken right out of the hide of taxpayers and will lead to cuts in other programs. “There’s only so much money,” the governor explained. “More funding for Medicaid robs from schools - especially K-12 education - and other priorities you care about.”

Wow, if it weren't the POTUS creating this financial debacle, one could think that it's another slap felt by Al Qeda to tear us down financially as they promised to do.
If you call it a “penalty”, it’s unconstitutional. If you call it a “tax”, it’s constitutional. That freakin’ weird and “americans” are stupid enough to buy that crap from the greedy ‘RAT commies. The ‘RATS’ dumbing down of America program really worked.
From the article:
“He said there are three things states can do to resist this massive federal power grab.
The first is opt out of the planned Medicaid expansion to those over the poverty line.
The second tactic for fighting back is for states to refuse to participate in Obamacare’s health-insurance exchanges, which are new bureaucracies created to manage and tailor what coverage individuals and businesses can purchase
The third action the Floridian said had to be taken was to do everything possible to make sure Mr. Obama’s and Chief Justice Roberts‘ Affordable Care Act is repealed.”
Did ya hear that, ROMNEY? Call 0bama what he is.. A LIAR. Joe Wilson was right!
And in the mean time, Romney is doing a photo op eating ice cream cones.
