Obamacare strikes again: Missouri grad students lose health insurance subsidies
http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/23818/
FTA:
KOMU reports “MU said it can no longer pay for graduate students’ health insurance because of changes in federal health care policy under the Affordable Health Care Act.”
“MU said the IRS considers graduate students as employees of the university rather than students because they provide research and teaching assistance. The Affordable Care Act prohibits employers from giving employees money specifically to buy insurance under the individual market.”
“If the university does not comply with ACA standards, it could be fined $100 per day per student by the IRS,” KOMU pointed out.
As The College Fix has previously reported, Obamacare is no boon to young people or campus life: “Those who have seen their paychecks shrink as a result of the Affordable Care Act include students who work on campus at restaurants, bookstores or gyms, teaching assistants, Residence Advisers, officer workers, student journalists, and a variety of other workers, such as part-time maintenance crews and groundskeepers. Educators’ work hours have also been cut due to the mandate, including part-time instructors and adjunct professors.”
And this is not the first time Missouri young people specifically have been screwed by the Affordable Care Act (a misnomer if ever there was one): Obamacare hiked insurance rates by 411 percent for Missouri’s male millennials, it was reported last year.
The bottom line is this program was billed as a way to make health insurance more affordable for young adults, and it has done just the opposite. Young people continue to lose work and health benefits over it, and their premiums are exponentially higher now.

Despite the fact that he contributes nothing beyond hyperbole, insults, and toilet references, he's often the most entertaining poster here by far. People like him can only bother you if you try to have an actual conversation, which we all know by now is utterly impossible. Responding to him (other than to make fun of him) is useless, because it's like walking up to a pile of crap and crapping on it - when you walk away, you still have a giant pile of crap, and you've only made it that much bigger.
He's only a net negative if you take anything he says as being the slightest bit serious.
That's the way I see it.............................see reply#2

Well, as I have posted a few times, I simply do not respond to him or ask him questions that he is incapable of answering.
That seems to be where most of your frustrations come in, when he cannot answer a simple question honestly (or even coherently)
So, IMO, a lot of you bring it on yourselves.
On the other hand, I do join in on pointing out his frequent absurdities and hypocrisy, so I am guilty also.
My biggest concern is how threads get thrown completely off the point on a regular basis,
if that could somehow be cut down just let him continue his little one-troll show...................it's not that important.

So which is it?

Oh, great - it's probably going to be one of those annoying Castro brothers ( Julian & Joachin, not Fidel and Raul ).
Julian Castro, 40 - Texas. Current job: Secretary of H.U.D
It's because of all the great things that he has accomplished that allows him to be next in line to the U.S. Presidency.
Alright........................it's because of his pigmentation and his last name.

THE WORD “UNEXPECTEDLY” MAKES ITS EXPECTED APPEARANCE IN THIS STORY:
Weak U.S. retail sales, inflation data reinforce Fed caution on rates.
U.S. retail sales unexpectedly fell in March as households cut back on purchases of automobiles and other items, further evidence that economic growth stumbled in the first quarter.Other data on Wednesday showed a surprise drop in producer prices last month as rising energy prices were offset by a decline in the cost of services.The two reports suggested the Federal Reserve will probably not raise interest rates until later this year.“The data solidifies the well-entrenched narrative of a very weak first quarter for the U.S. economy. For the Federal Reserve … it argues for continued caution,” said Millan Mulraine, deputy chief economist at TD Securities in New York.But maybe this is the year we finally get that Summer of Recovery.

Everyone claims to be doing things for the people. It's always untrue. They do **** for their party.
Don't like it? Then stop being part of the problem, you !@#$ing hypocrite.
This is true.
Low information voters such as Gator do not grasp this.
Here is what is likely to happen.
If a Republican wins in November, then the GOP Senate strategy is fulfilled.
If Hillary or Bernie wins, then the voters have shown their preference towards who fills the Court seat.
NOW the Republicans will then decide if they will try and bring Garland up for a vote......because its best for the U.S. ?
No...........it would be the best option left for the PARTY, because Bernie/Hillary would want someone even farther left.
The funny part is................its rather predictable that then the DEMOCRATS would block Garland's nomination in hopes to get a more liberal candidate.
because its the best thing for them.
All this "why aren't they doing their job" B.S. is just another squirrel

In the Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled Trump’s Plan to Win Conservative Support, http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-plan-to-win-conservative-support-1460501876
Fred Barnes says Trump will soon deliver “a series of formal speeches on policy issues, set pieces drafted by speechwriters and delivered from prepared texts.”
If this is all it takes to get a conservative on board with Trump, they’re the cheapest of cheap dates. Trump speaks off the cuff and offers liberal progressive views, time and again. He supported the stimulus, TARP, and the auto bailout. When he criticized Scott Walker, Trump said, “instead of raising taxes, he cut back on schools, he cut back on highways, he cut back on a lot of things.” He’s defending Planned Parenthood at length, supported affirmative action, and said the impeachment of George W. Bush would have been “a wonderful thing.” He said his sister, a judge who believes the Constitution guarantees the right to a partial-birth abortion, would make a phenomenal Supreme Court judge. Until recently, Trump supported higher taxes on the wealthy, the Assault Weapons ban and longer waiting times for gun purchases.
And now conservatives are supposed to put aside their doubts because Trump manages to stick to the script for one speech?
What do you think more accurately reflects Trump’s true perspective, his off-the-cuff comments or delivering a speech written by someone else?

IRS chief: Agency encourages illegal immigrant theft of SSNs to file tax returns
by Rudy Takala
Original ArticleThe IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency´s head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for "bad" reasons.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made the statement in response to a question from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., during a session of the Senate Finance Committee about why the IRS appears to be collaborating with taxpayers who file tax returns using fraudulent information. Coats said that his staff had discovered the practice after looking into agency procedures.

Climate Change Hits the Snooze Button
One reason I’ve been writing much less about the climatistas here lately is that the subject has become such a crashing bore.
Don’t take my word for it—just ask the lefty Media Mutters for America, the site David Brock curates to whine on Hillary’s behalf.
Media Mutters has a new study out bemoaning that the major TV network news broadcasts are losing interest in climate change, despite the UN Paris hootenanny back in December and the official Hottest Year Evah in 2015. These should be good times for the climatistas with the lapdog media. But no:
The fun part is that one news network greatly increased the time they devoted to climate change: Fox News. Oh no!
Heh. No wonder the desperate climatistas are going full Spanish Inquisition and want climate skeptics jailed.

Senator Chuck Grassley had breakfast with President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, Tuesday morning.
After the meeting, Grassley announced there would be no change with regard to moving forward with confirmation hearings this year. The AP reports:
Democrats can continue to hyperventilate about it in the media but unless they can change Sen. Grassley’s mind none of that is going to matter.
As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Grassley has the final say on whether or not any hearings take place. For the moment, he is sticking to a polite but firm no.

This was a story back in July 2015 also..........I'm not surprised it is back.
Granny's Got a Gun: More Seniors Now Purchasing Firearms
It was in response to this:
New plan could limit gun ownership for senior citizens ...
President Barack Obama is pushing to keep some Social Security members from buying a gun if they can't manage their own affairs. For example, if they have someone else run their social security accounts because they cannot physically, or mentally, keep up with it themselves.
{snip}
But, a senior can already be denied a gun if they can't manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease."
That restriction is already on the books, according to Federal Gun Regulations defining someone as mentally defective.What's new here, is the Social Security Administration turning over information for background checks.
