Democrats Criticize Senator Lee For Following The Law

A Huffington Post article this morning criticized Utah's junior Senator, Senator Mike Lee, for threatening to shut down the government instead of funding ObamaCare. Likewise Democrats have characterized the Senator's stance, describing it as similar to a child throwing a fit when they don't get their way.

Here is this Conservative's rebuttal to such claims:

The law (ObamaCare), which the Democrats wrote, specifically calls for an employer mandate and an individual mandate (The supreme court describes this as a tax) at the beginning of of 2014. But for political reasons the democrats are trying to postpone the business mandated portion of the tax for another year. This is being done because they have several Senate seats up for re-election in 2014 which are already contested seats, but will be all but given away if the

What Senator Lee is doing could easily be described as refusing to break the law. Senator Lee, as well as others, are refusing to disobey the law by refusing to have ObamaCare be paid for through the nation debt anymore. We were lied to about how much it would cost and it is unethical to place this burden upon the back of our children, simply to pay for our selfish desires.

If the Democrats want to change the law they need to go through the proper channels.  No President has the ability to simply adjust laws according to their political needs, but this is exactly what President Obama is doing. Democrats realize that their re-election campaigns in 2014 will be at great risk if the costs of ObamaCare are transferred from the national debt over to the American people as the law calls for. They also know that Republicans will not vote for to delay the costs anymore. This leaves the Democrats only a few options; 1. The could obey the law and deal with the political consequences of doing so. 2. The could defund ObamaCare and admit that the program is a failure. or 3. Instead of following the law the can support the President's decision of postponing the "tax" of ObamaCare for another year, placing the responsibility of this cost onto our children.

Senator Lee should be praised for his stance! We need more Senators that are willing to take tough stands and say enough is enough. It is immoral to pay for our goods and services at the expense of our children.

Don't be surprised if you get to be 75 years old and are euthanized by your own children because you've left them with such a debt that they have no alternatives but to do so.
