Obamacare vs IRS Train Wreck

Soon to be former Sen. Baucus has described Obamacare as a train wreck.  

As if things aren't bad enough for this self-destructive obamanation of a health "care" plan, now the IRS could inflict even further damage.

In case you missed it . . .

The IRS will largely administer this attempt at providing near-universal health insurance. It is responsible for overseeing the tax credits and tax increases in the law, and�most critically�ensuring that businesses and individuals comply with the individual mandate and other major provisions.

And to pour gasoline on the fire  . . .

Former House Speaker and GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich declared Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," "How can you put Obamacare under the Internal Revenue Service?  �Why would you trust the bureaucracy with your health if you can�t trust the bureaucracy with your politics?" he said. "There are bureaucrats in the IRS who are capable of ruining your life while lying about it.�

The man has a point.

Gingrich is no stranger to dissention and is certainly not timid when it comes to expressing his mind . . . whether you ask his opinion or not.

The IRS has undermined its own credibility on the issue. It initially claimed before a congressional committee that conservative groups were not under a special microscope. The agency then apologized last week for targeting that supposedly occurred out of a Cincinnati field office. But a new report by the Washington Post on Monday says that IRS officials in Washington and California also queried conservative groups, who were told at the time that a Washington-based task force was overseeing their applications.

I would say it is symptomatic of the current administration, but that would be an exaggeration.

More truthfully, lies and distortion seem to be a way of life for our elected officials.

Now if the folks in Washington start blaming the IRS scandal and collapse of Obamacare on an obscure video .  . .
