发帖数: 8998 | 1 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An appeals court ruled Friday that President Barack
Obama's healthcare law requiring Americans to buy healthcare insurance or
face a penalty was unconstitutional, a blow to the White House.
The Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, found that
Congress exceeded its authority by requiring Americans to buy coverage, but
also ruled that the rest of the wide-ranging law could remain in effect.

原文是“天地不仁,以万物为刍狗“
意思是，自然规律没有感性更没有儒家所说的“仁义”，
万物被动也是主动，靠自己的观察和周旋。
天命我觉得可以翻译为“MANDATE”。
顺应“MANDATE”才有LEGITIMACY。
孔子的“ 知天命”：就是知道“MANDATE”，
知道在什么时候，做什么事。 知道草民
疼不欲生的时候，表去给草民伤口撒盐。
知道草民PTSD的时候，表把草民煽动去
杀人。 看见草民正打成一团的时候，去

发帖数: 29846 | 45 WASHINGTON—The Senate on Wednesday voted against repealing the health-care
overhaul but approved a measure eliminating a tax requirement that had irked
small businesses.
In a debate reshaped by this week's court strike against the law, the Senate
voted 51-47 against repeal. All of the chamber's Democrats who were present
and one independent who caucuses with them voted against it, and every
Republican voted for it. The measure, which Republicans tacked on to an
unrelated aviation bill, had been ... 阅读全帖 |

... Michelle Obama is proud of her country:
Lady Michelle Obama boasted at a campaign event in Omaha, Neb. on
Tuesday that "we made history" when the president's health care proposal was
enacted and the administration issued a regulation mandating that insurance
companies provide women with free contraceptives.
"Two years ago, we made history together by finally passing health

The furor over the ObamaCare abortion pill mandate may be obscuring a very
important point: nothing about the mandate itself, Obama's "compromise" with
church-affiliated employers, the Sandra Fluke dustup, or the crass
political calculation driving them is new. Not even the shameless bigotry
of Democratic officeholders' assaults on the bishops for daring to stand
their ground.
Given the left's war against religion over the last 60 years there was
absolutely no reason f... 阅读全帖 |

that kicks in next year, fearing it will increase the cost of providing
insurance to employees.
But Rick Levi, a business owner in Des Moines, Iowa, is among those
considering the government's escape hatch: paying a penalty to avoid the law
's "employer mandate."
Under the Affordable Care Act, employers with 50 or more full-time workers

Venezuela’s Election Downshifts Views on Economy, Debt
By Charles Roth
We hear elections have consequences, which are usually obvious if the winner
’s mandate is strong. Venezuela’s snap election over the weekend has major
implications for the economy and the oil-rich nation’s debt, thinking on
which is changing fast.
The anointed heir of Venezuela’s defunct leader, Hugo Chavez, eked out a
wafer-thin majority of votes in Sunday’s snap presidential election, a
surprise ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 29846 | 50 Something did change in the immigration debate last week. But it wasn’t the
realization that there is no “trigger” to force the House to act. That
has been true since the beginning of the debate. What changed this week is
that Republicans lost all trust in President Obama’s ability to faithfully
execute the laws of the United States.
Delayed mandates and invitation to fraud
On Tuesday of last week, news broke that the Treasury Department was about
to announce it’s intention to delay implementati... 阅读全帖 |
