If 0boma is so concerned about carbon emissions, why did he have a 71 car motorcade in China?

I sure hope those 71 cars met the 35.5 miles per gallon standard that 0boma has mandated for everyone else.

“...that union members are getting the best health care possible”?
There’s change you can believe in, but are not allowed to know about.
The union and ACORN are paid back big time in 0boma’s socialized bill.
0boma calls for taxpayers to subsidize health care for union and ACORN retirees including all the underfunded union retirement funds and “volunteers. (ACORN)”
It’s called a REINSURANCE PROGRAM FOR RETIREES. This forces taxpayers to subsidize 80% of health insurance benefits for retirees, retiree’s spouses and surviving spouses and dependents. Included in the services to be reimbursed are medical, surgical hospital, prescription drug, and other benefits.
Deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance costs and out-of-pocket costs are among the costs to be reimbursed by taxpayers.
The age required to meet “retirement” guidelines is 55 years old or older. A retiree is disqualified if they are covered by Medicare or Medicaid (Social Security Act XVIII).
It says that the “eligible” plans must be maintained by “former employers or employee associations, or a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association....” Unions as employee associations, and groups like ACORN as “voluntary employees” associations.
Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human services will administer the “reimbursements”. This entire reimbursement program is known as “reinsurance.”
The Treasury will establish a “Retiree Reserve Trust Fund,” and reimbursement will be made from that fund. It says the Treasury will fund the Trust Fund with Treasury “moneys not otherwise appropriated.” (yeah, there’s LOTS of money sitting around)
Sebelius will request funds from the Treasury but she cannot request more than $10 billion dollars.
The funds in the Trust Fund “shall not be taken into account for purposes of any budget enforcement procedures.
The enforcement procedures that are used for purposes of a “balanced budget” and the Emergency Deficit Control Act - cannot have an effect on the Trust Fund money.
......In other words, it is hands off this money for unions and ACORN, no matter the financial dilemma of the government.
Once the payoff is started, it goes on forever.

Winfrey needs to move to her big mansion in California.
Cali really needs the money!
The only reason she stayed in Chicago was because
“Oprah and her people have long limited the time she spends in Montecito so she doesn’t exceed the number of days mandating her to pay exorbitant taxes as a California resident.”
LOL....taxes are for us little people!

The 2,074 page socialized med bill raises taxes, rations, cuts medicare and pays for abortions.
