I mentioned earlier that Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) put acting Obama budget director Jeffrey Zients in a tough spot. Based on Garrett's question, Zients could either stick to his claim that the budget doesn't raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year and families making less than $250,000 a year or repeat the Obama administration's legal argument that the individual mandate is a tax.

Here's the video.

This debate over Obamacard is getting more and more like the interrogation of Winston by the Ministry of love (1984). Soon, Obama will send out some lacky to say "It's whatever you want it to be."

In court they will HAVE to say its a tax or it'll be thrown out

A key characteristic with lib/progs is they lie...ends always justify the means.

And the challenge for liars is they require a photographic memory to be able to remember all the falsehoods they have told.
