So says the CBO in an updated analysis. $540 Billion over 10 years.
And – wait for it – repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It’s the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.
Heh heh. Yeah. Work it, Congress. 236-181.

I had a prior post about the need to be aware of possible tampering to ATMs.
Here is an excellent article, with video, describing exactly why you need to be very, very careful.
UPDATE: Now, crooks are replacing the ATM keyboard. Meaning, they no longer have to “watch” you enter your PIN. BE ON YOUR GUARD.
Oh, but he did. POTUS decided to tell us we had to deal with nuclear issues with the Russians – and it had to be done now.
Have we been punked? By Russians? Or our own POTUS?
The State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) plans to confirm the link between the reduction of the strategic offensive arms and the restriction of antimissile defense systems’ deployment in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed between the US and Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs says.

Pres(id)ent Obama, back when he was but a Senator actually said he was against raising the debt limit (in 2006).
Four short years ago. So what’s changed, POTUS? Just how big a credit card balance owed must we have?
Hypocrisy (my definition) – having, cough, leaders telling us we consume in excess … turn around and spend excessively themselves. Moreso than past administrations have ever done.
Truly desstined for the history books. But, I have news for Congress and tthe POTUS – you are not going to like how the history books read.

House Reps want to vote repeal of Obamacare – Senate Dems threaten the House Reps not to bother.
Hhhmm. I thought the House is supposed to initiate the funding, eh? So why don’t the House Reps force the issue as to why the Senate initiated that during the Lame Duck session and get this in front of SCOTUS pronto?
Or, isn’t that Constitutional enough for you?

The UK is just now finding out how much they are going to have to shell out when replacing their light bulbs.
Seems they banned incandescent light bulbs. This ban took effect the start of this year. They can’t buy (stock up) 100W bulbs now and won’t be able to get 60W bulbs starting next year. Which means the manufacturers of the newer, less power hungry compact florescent bulbs can likely drive wholesale prices upward.
Do you hear this, Fred Upton? I hope you maintain your “switched” position and undo your 3-year past legislation to ban such light bulbs here in the U.S.

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.

Not here – just yet. But look where it is – Bolivia. Up 73% for gas and up 83% for diesel.
A rather unhappy start for the new year. Question is, how and when will this impact us?

According to Frank J. Fleming of Pajamas Media.
Interesting. I wonder how much will come true. Heh.
