Let's see how the Hypocritic Oath plays out.
...In 1995, the newly elected Republican Congress passed a Congressional
Accountability Act to fulfill a promise made the previous year in the
Contract with America. For the first time, the Act applied to Congress
the same civil-rights employment and labor laws that lawmakers had
required everyday citizens to abide by. With some lapses, it’s worked
well to defuse public outrage about “one law for thee, one law for me”
congressional behavior.
In 2009, Senator Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa)
decided that the principle deserved to be embedded in Obamacare, and he
was able to insert a provision requiring all members of Congress and
their staffs to get insurance through the Obamacare health exchanges.
“The more that Congress experiences the laws it passes, the better,”
said Grassley. Although his amendment was watered down before final
passage to exclude committee staff, it still applies to members of
Congress and their personal staffs. Most employment lawyers interpreted
that to mean that the taxpayer-funded federal health-insurance subsidies
dispensed to those on Congress’s payroll — which now range from $5,000
to $11,000 a year — would have to end....
Oh, no, they don't. Parent-Pigs took care of their offspring pigs.
...Democratic and Republican staffers alike were furious, warning that
Congress faced a “brain drain” if the provision stuck. Under
behind-the-scenes pressure from members of Congress in both parties,
President Obama used the quiet of the August recess to personally order
the Office of Personnel Management, which supervises federal employment
issues, to interpret the law so as to retain the generous congressional benefits.
("Brain Drain" from D.C.? Is this not oxymoronic?)
It's no wonder that Republican "leadership" doesn't give a fart-in-the-wind about de-funding ObozoCare. They will win either way.
Because Some Pigs Are More Equal, you see.

ACA is not going to be defunded. Move on with your life. There has to be something more promising to whine about.
After Oct. 1, it's back to Benghazi...or Fast and Frivolous...or something.
I'm going to ass fuck the two anonys above.
Report: Gap Wider Than Ever Between Ultra-Rich And Reality
PHILADELPHIA—A report released Wednesday by economists at The University Of Pennsylvania confirmed that the already massive gap between the world’s ultra-rich and reality is now at historic levels and only continues growing wider each year. “While there has always existed a large, some say unbridgeable, divide between those making over $30 million a year and the basic realities of everyday life that exist, have existed, and will continue to exist for the vast majority of lifeforms in the known universe, that divide appears to have grown even more vast within the past few years,” said lead researcher Brian Dalton, explaining that the gulf separating multimillionaires from common, typically pervasive, actualities such as financial hardship, spending limitations, hunger, want, doubt, discomfort of any kind, and consequences for their actions is now the largest since 1985. “Despite efforts from international organizations in every country across the world, wealthy businessmen continue drifting further and further apart from any semblance of reality, and within the next decade we will likely find that this gap has become truly insurmountable.”. Researchers also stated, however, that the gap between the ultra-rich and utter delusion remains nearly nonexistent.
