Quote of the Week

From The Hill:

Subcommittee on Oversight ranking member Charles Boustany (R-La.) said the IRS provision in the bill "dangerously expands, in an ominous way the tentacles of the IRS and it's reach into every American family," he said today during a press conference.

Could you think of a more popular institution to enforce the provisions of Obamacare? But I have to wonder why this news, as I posted a similar story last September.

More from the story:
