Missouri: Resistance Is Vital

This is how the Borg Collective got started, you know:

Don’t bother trying to count up the number of agencies, boards and commissions created under the new health care law. Estimating the number is “impossible,” a recent Congressional Research Service report says, and a true count “unknowable.”

The reasons for the uncertainty are many, according to CRS’s Curtis W. Copeland, the author of the report “New Entities Created Pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”

The provisions of the law that create the new entities vary dramatically in specificity.

The law says a lot about some of them and a little about many, and merely mentions a few. Some have been authorized without any instructions on who is to appoint whom, when that might happen and who will pay.

Those agencies created without specific appointment or appropriations procedures will have to wait indefinitely for staff and funding before they can function, according to Copeland’s report.

"It seems clear that Congress just authorized a self-perpetuating bureaucracy, one that can expand on its own and make determinations far outside of the boundaries Democrats promised during the ObamaCare debate."

It sounds....familiar, somehow....but I just can't place it....

Ah, wait a minute, (and you knew this was coming) YES...WE...CAN!:

Is resistance futile?  Well, the voters of Missouri have the first chance to set the futility (or lack thereof) bar tonight with Proposition C, which tells Red Barry all the unpleasant, anatomically excruciating things he can do with the individual mandate.  With a third of precincts reporting, "YES" is leading....76%-24%.

Just call us the Groundskeepers.
