Just saw this on Market Watch, they are speculating that obama will delay the penalty on the personal mandate.
I’ve been saying on other sites since the 0zer0care rollout fiasco, that eventually the dumbcrats will have no choice but to delay the implementation. The reason is simple. Once millions of people get “fined” for not having insurance “mandated” by the Fed. Govt, it will be easy to win class action lawsuits against 0zer0care because the Fed. Govt failed to provide any mechanism for the people to comply with the mandate. The irony will be too much. Lawyers represent the biggest dumbcrat backers, yet it will be these same lawyers that will cause 0zer0care to implode. Many lawsuits were dismissed previously because plaintiffs “lacked standing” because the law hadn’t taken effect, and therefore they couldn’t claim “harm”. All that changes once fines are levied. I suspect that if the cases reach the SC, even the much hated Roberts will vote this time to do away with 0zer0care.
The only way 0zer0care survives is if the Stupid Party (GOP) caves again and throws 0zer0 a lifeline with bi-partisan “fixes”. I suspect that is exactly what will happen. You will see many more “Kentucky Kickbacks” to get the RINOS to “fix” 0zer0care. The dumbcrats HAVE to delay this now, so they have time to bribe RINOS. It has nothing to do with actually delivering something beneficial to the people. I suspect we will see a “Grand Bargain” between dumbcrats & RINOS when the next Budget/Debt Ceiling fight happens. The Grand Bargain will be spun as bipartisan, and only the evil conservative Tea Party will vote against it. That works to the advantage of both the dumbcrats and RINOS for 2014, as their re-election is all these groups care about.
It would just be a gesture and one that be remembered by the he immortal phrase :
I GUESS TED CRUZ WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL.
Now what is the chance that will happen?
