Congress raids money slated for Obamacare

In cash-strapped Washington, President Obama’s $1 trillion health care law is presenting a tempting target for lawmakers seeking funds for other projects, as Congress last week raided the health care piggy bank for the third time in less than a year. Just like the social security “lock box”, if you leave a pile of money laying around in Washington DC, some crooks will inevitably come by and swipe it. We call those crooks “representative” and “senator.” The joke is that Obamacare was already underfunded, requiring 10 yrs of taxes to pay for 6 yrs of benefits. At this rate, it may be broke after 6 months.
