   So the democrats were for it before they were against it? Not much changes, does it? Glad to see this bi-partisan magic is working, however I remain skeptical and worried..

   The bill has 12 Democrat co-sponsors

   Being co-sponsored by 12 democrats is like Custer being co-sponsored by 12 indians. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

   Let’s also push the Republicans to support the legislation introduced that: addresses the anchor baby issue (birthright citizenship/14th Amendment) and mandates E-Verify for every employer in the US. Then, and only then, we will start to have a coherent immigration policy that people throughout the world will respect and abide by.

   Also, on that same subject, what do you think Tom Donohue and the US CoC (Chamber of Commerce) are up to these days? Yes, they are STILL plugging for amnesty for illegals in the US. Some people just don’t get it.
   Forget it Tom, the new group in the US House has made it clear: they plan on enacting REAL enforcement, get with the program or get pushed aside. It’s time to show the ‘US’ part in your organization’s name.

   Absolutely. I see some states aren’t waiting for the Congress to act and are pushing for legislation within the states regarding the birthright citizenship issue.

   I still believe the 14th Amendment has been deliberately misapplied to children of illegals.

    First off, you shouldn’t mince your words; just come out and say what you really mean.

    Second, that “blood libel” statement you made is likely to get the democrats in quite a lather. You know, free speech for socialists but not for intelligent people.

    Yes it has, hawkeye54.

    Read this issue of Imprimus from Hillsdale College. You will see that the intent of the legislators that wrote the 14th amendment was to not grant citizenship to children of illegal aliens.

    Couple that with this from the case of Steward vs Kahn, 78 US 504: “The intent of the legislators constitutes the law.” The Supreme Court was clear on that.

    The 14th amendment does not grant citizenship to children of illegal aliens born in this country.

Anyway, this small part of the bill, while horrendous, is like a drop in the ocean of unintended consequences! Kill the whole dang thing!

    Somebody help me out here. This requirement to report goods and services by 1099, for stuff valued over $600, would that apply to medical care? For example, if my medical coverage paid for $100,000 of intensive care treatment at the hospital, would I get a 1099 for an additional $100K of income in that year, and be expected to pay tax on it? Or am I missing the boat?

    Uh oh! This does not bode well:

    FrumForum has learned that in an unprecedented move, House Speaker John Boehner has officially endorsed RNC chair candidate Maria Cino.

    Can’t the BLM ever get anything right.

    The 1099 provision would not require reporting of “all goods and services transactions valued over $600 to the IRS”

    That’s already required of businesses.

    The new requirement would require that the annual accumulation of smaller transactions be added up and submitted to the IRS. This is completely different from one time transactions of $600, and far far more onerous.

    And since when does the media report revenue projections as absolute facts like this: “…which would raise $19 billion over ten years and was included to help pay for the healthcare law.” Normally they would identify that as an estimate or projection, not a fact.

    I think I know why they are doing it. Once this and other things get changed in Obamacare, and the law inevitably costs much more and raises far less revenue than “expected”, the BLM can then turn around and blame the Republican tweaks, such as removing this 1099 provision.

    Dexter,

    McAmnesty was dead in the water and broke in June 2007, by March he had the nomination sewed up. It was not accidental nor just good fortune on his part. The nominating process was rigged for that result. Rudy and Fred were in there as blockers, left and right, for McCain. The calender of primaries was set up to make sure most conservatives would not even get to vote before it was over.

    The 1099s in Obamacare are all about giving the Obamacare bureaucracy the ability to create and operate a health care VAT tax without having to go thru Congress.

    Without the 1099s in Obamacare, the Obamacrats working in the Obamacare bureaucracy would not have sufficient information to create a regulation that puts a ‘fee’ on every business transaction over $600 to keep Obamacare solvent — aka a healthcare VAT.

    The Obamacrats may argue that Congress knew what it was doing when it added the 1099s in the bill, because it allows Obamacare to pay for itself. So expect some resistance to eliminating it by the left.

    Most of the Health Care bill does not take effect until 2014. So, in the name of fostering bipartisanship, I propose using a different phrase than “kill the bill”. Use “abort the bill” instead. What Democrat could complain about the use of that word?

    Abort Obamacare while it’s still gestating in the womb of the Nanny State. Abort the bill before it’s glutinous and ever enlarging mother demands that it now must tax for two. And force Democrats to explain to their idiot base, who never read bills, why they voted against an abortion bill.

    Actually you missed one BIG point with the new law.

    Businesses do not have to report payments made to corporations (other than lawyer corporations) right now. The law changes that to every entity.

    Go to the Apple Store and buy a computer for work. You’ll need to get a W-9 before doing so. (Granted, the IRS is thinking of a credit card exemption from the law change)
