The Fifth Day of Obamacare

0 Oversight Hearings:  Since enactment of the health care law in March, the Democrat majority in both chambers has failed to conduct any substantive oversight of the sprawling 2,700 page measure.  The only health care hearing the Finance Committee held since the bill passed was an inquiry that barely lasted an hour, and at which Republicans “were not given enough time” to ask substantive questions.

On the fifth day of Obamacare, the government gave to me:

0                                              Oversight hearings

159                                         Boards and programs

16,500                                   IRS agents

21                                           Federal lawsuits

And a health insurance mandate “fee”
