Just One Term in ObamaCare Translates to 18 Pages of Legalistic Gunk

The Obama Regime has inflicted on the crippled economy well over 11,000 pages of pernicious if not deliberately malevolent rules and regulations. Of these, 2,700 pages are the anchor tied around our necks known as ObamaCare. But those 2,700 pages are only an outline. This gives an idea of how much red tape ObamaCare will translate into by the time regulators are through filling it out:

In the latest indication of how complicated putting the Affordable Care Act into action will be, the Department of Health and Human Services and Internal Revenue Service issued 18-pages of regulations just to describe what a “full-time employee” is.

In the time it takes to read those 18 pages of gobbledygook, Obama’s vast regulatory bureaucracy will have excreted another half dozen regulations.

This is why there can be no meaningful economic recovery until Democrats are removed from office.

    Why bother defining a full-time employee since if Obama gets another 4 years there probably wont be any of those by 2016.

    Obama The Faux “Law Professor”…

    University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein confirms for DailyCaler.com what readers of this Timeline have always known: that Obama was a lecturer, not a professor, and was never offered tenure—as falsely claimed by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor in her book, The Obamas. Epstein states, “I have no idea where Jodi got her story. Tenure offers require votes from faculties approved by the provost, and need a scholarly output. He was approached with the possibility of an entry level position without tenure, but it never got to the faculty for want of interest on his side. …I wish I still had my email to Jodi, because I wrote Jodi Kantor in no uncertain terms that the matter had never come to the faculty, and that under no circumstances would an offer to Obama be tenured. Indeed I was completely taken aback by [her] story. …The thought that the law school could have made a tenure offer to a person with no academic writing was out of the question, as far as I was concerned, and I took a lot of heat from people who kept saying that Chicago had abandoned its scholarly standards by [even] contemplating that offer.” Epstein, who once serves dean of the law school, states that Obama DID NOT teach “constitutional law;” he taught “public interest law.”

    Another question everybody seems to be afraid to ask is, “just how did a pot-smoking, broke-ass nobody afford to get into Harvard“?

    Someday, the American people are going to wake up and realize what a true danger the MSM is to a free America. They have gone way beyond the freedoms and unlimited protections the Founding Fathers intended the press to have. A truly free press should have those rights and protections. Highly biased political operatives should not.

    Then again, if the American people were capable of waking up, none of these things would be happening. Perhaps they’ll get a tweet one day telling them that their country is no longer theirs. Perhaps then they’ll get it, although i doubt it.

    18 pages to say 40 hours a week?! It will never happen but we really need to get EVERY rule and regulation ever passed and just start line by line and making cuts. No lawyers just honest Americans. Unfortunately those dont exist in Washington anymore

    So, let me get this straight. This is a long sentence. We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan that we’re forced to purchase and fined if we don’t, which purportedly covers at least 10 million more people without adding a single doctor but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes — [laughter] — same sentence! — with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government that has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese — [laughter] — and finally, financed by a country that’s broke.

    So what the blank could possibly go wrong?

    Winston, you are probably more correct than you know. The reason why the definition of full time employee is important is because the employer mandate to provide coverage or pay a penalty only applies to full time employees. These regulations clarify that anyone who works 30 hours per week (on average over certain lookback periods) is full time. So all a company need do to avoid penalties and the mandate is to restrict employees from working any more than 25 hours per week. We’ll all be part timers …

    The birther posts in every thread are not helpful. Not only is it spam, it is one of the more meaningless topics which could be spammed.

    The American people have been told the facts for over four years and they still don’t care. Let’s tell them something of which they might not be aware. Let’s focus on things which can change the course of the election.

    Even if the supposed forgery team confesses on primetime news there is not going to be any prosecution of the Marxist usurper under a Romney administration.

    If every birther’s fantasies of evidence are finally fulfilled there will not be anything done about it until 2021 at the earliest, and that assumes the election of a staunch conservative, to which the national GOP has been quite allergic.

    Prosecuting a Marxist usurper for fraud in 2021 does nobody any good. It won’t discourage future attempts and it won’t repair the damage done.
