Carter: Middle Class Today Resembles Past's Poor

I, Fat Bastardo, have always liked Jimmy Carter and not only because he grew peanuts. Sure peanut butter is delicious and a great fattening food but Jimmy Carter is admired by fatlings for being a guy who tells it like it is. 

The following article is Jimmy Carter telling it like it is!


 Carter says today's middle class looks like the poor from his presidency due to income gap..

http://news.yahoo.com/carter-middle-class-today-resembles-110509535.html

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that the income gap in the United States has increased to the point where members of the middle class resemble the Americans who lived in poverty when he occupied the White House.

Carter offered his assessment of the nation's economic challenges Monday at a Habitat for Humanity construction site in Oakland — the first of five cities he and wife Rosalynn plan to visit this week to commemorate their three-decade alliance with the international nonprofit that promotes and builds affordable housing.

The recent economic downturn revealed that families living in even comparatively well-off, but expensive regions like the San Francisco Bay Area are economically insecure, he said.

"Even in one of the wealthiest parts of the world there is a great deal of foreclosures and now a great deal of people who are fortunate to own their own houses owe more on them than the houses are worth in the present market, and that's all changed in the last eight years," Carter said during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.

Taking a break from framing windows at a new 12-unit town house development in a section of East Oakland where Habitat already has built or repaired 115 homes, the 89-year-old former Democratic president said the federal government is investing less in affordable housing at a time of greater need.

"The disparity between rich people and poor people in America has increased dramatically since when we started," he said. "The middle class has become more like poor people than they were 30 years ago. So I don't think it's getting any better."

Years of tax breaks for the wealthy, a minimum wage untethered from the inflation rate and electoral districts drawn to maximize political polarization have reduced the quality of life for all but a small fraction of Americans and imperiled the nation's standing as "a real superpower," he said.

"Equity of taxation and treating the middle class with a great deal of attention, providing funding for people in true need, like for affordable housing, those are the sort of things that would pay rich dividends for Americans no matter what kind of income they have," said Carter, looking relaxed in a baseball cap, blue jeans and white sneakers.

"The richest people in America would be better off if everybody lived in a decent home and had a chance to pay for it, and if everyone had enough income even if they had a daily job to be good buyers for the products that are produced."

Habitat for Humanity was founded in Georgia, the home state of the Carters. They first joined a Habitat for Humanity work site in 1984 in New York and have spent a week every year working on construction sites in the U.S. and abroad.

On Tuesday, the former president and first lady are scheduled to help renovate homes in a section of Silicon Valley that has remained immune to the wealth generated by the high-tech industry. After that, they intend to travel to Denver, New York and Union Beach, N.J., where they will help rebuild homes wiped out by Hurricane Sandy.

Congressional Reform Act of 2013

Winds Of Change

Warren Buffet is asking you forward this to a minimum of twenty people on your Email list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. At least 20 if you can. It has to stop somewhere.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have this message.

  
Congressional Reform Act of 2013

1. No Tenure / No Pension. (They are not tenured)

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
(They already do)

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. (They already do)

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. (Members of Congress currently select and purchase the health insurance they want. They can buy from the exchanges)

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. (By law they are currently required to abide by all US laws.)

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/13.  (This is just stupid. This would void every contact into which they entered eg, car loan, life insurance, marriage, cell phone, cable TV, ect,,

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?

If you agree with the above, pass it on. Also post this on Facebook and Twitter.

UPDATE!

Actually, it's not at all how you fix Congress. But more to the point, the fake "petition" is filled with inaccuracies about Congress.

Congressmen do not have "tenure." They run for re-election. If you don't like your congressman, vote him or her out. They do pay into Social Security, just like everyone else, and are not immediately vested with a full pension, as people oddly seem to believe. They are welcome to invest in separate individual retirement accounts if they like.

Congress has not been voting pay raises for itself. Generally, Congress gets an automatic cost-of-living raise, but has sometimes voted not to give itself even that. Since 1994, Congress has gone without a pay raise nine times (four of those times occurring in the past six years). And if the federal workforce gets a pay freeze, as is currently being discussed, Congress's pay is frozen as well.

Congress doesn't get free healthcare or even a special plan. Like all federal employees, they choose (and pay premiums for) a private healthcare plan from a menu of choices.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]

It's true that Congress as an institution doesn't abide by the same laws. They can hire and fire staff at will, for example. There is an argument that Congress should be held to many of the same laws they pass for everyone else, but some are not workable. Should a Republican be forced to hire Democratic staff, for example? That wouldn't be reasonable.

It's not clear what "contracts" the misinformed author of this bogus E-mail petition is citing. Congressmen cannot earn outside earned income while in office. What contracts would be considered void? Mortgages? Marriage licenses? This is absurd. And the idea that lawmakers receive no pay when they are out of office? What does that mean—that if someone serves one, two-year term, he or she can never work again? Are they meant to go on welfare instead?

And yet, this kind of E-mail is common on the Internet. Lawmakers say they frequently have to send E-mails to outraged constituents explaining that the characterizations of Congress are simply untrue. But the rumors keep coming back, forcing members and staff to constantly defend themselves against charges that have no basis in fact.

Incendiary E-mails like the bogus Buffett petition aren't an argument for cleaning up Congress. They're a better argument for civics tests for voters. And it's easy to see why someone wouldn't want to serve in Congress, given the misinformation campaign.

Republicans Demystified

Four surgeons are comparing the type of patients they consider the easiest to operate on. The first surgeon says, "I like to operate on electricians, because when you open them up everything is color coded."

 The second surgeon says, "I prefer to operate on accountants, because when you open them up everything is numbered."

The third surgeon says, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on because everything inside them is in alphabetic order."

The fourth surgeon says, "I've got you all beat. I like to operate on Republicans best. They are by far the easiest because they have no guts, no heart, no spine and their mouths and assholes are interchangeable.

ObamaCare Myths: Another Instance of Republicans Lying

The ObamaCare Myths about health care aren't just confusing, they are wrong. ObamaCare myths range from premium increases to ObamaCare implanting RFID chips in all Americans. ObamaCare Facts aims find out the truth behind the myths about ObamaCare. When it comes to the well being of Americans, there is no room for opinions and rhetoric.

The Following Are Some Common Myths About Obama's Health Care Reform

New ObamaCare myths are coming out every day. Keep checking back as we fact check the rhetoric.
ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Creates Health Insurance

ObamaCare doesn’t create health insurance, it regulates the health insurance industry and helps to increase quality, affordability and availability of private insurance. The law does this by creating new rules for insurers, expanding Medicaid to tens of millions of more Americans and by implementing a Health Insurance Marketplace where Americans can buy subsidized, regulated health insurance in a competitive private market.

ObamaCare doesn’t create a government-run healthcare system or Government insurance. It greatly expands business for the private for-profit health insurance industry, creating about 12 million new customers. In other words ObamaCare regulates the free market, it doesn't replace it. It does however expand and improve Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP which are types of Government health insurance. It also expands private employer based insurance.

ObamaCare Myth: You Have to Use the Health Insurance Marketplace
No one has to use the marketplace. Anyone who likes there current insurance can keep it. If you have Government based insurance like Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP then you are covered. If you like your work based insurance, you can keep that too. The marketplace is for uninsured Americans and those who don't like their current plan. Those making under 400% of the Federal Poverty Level may get help with monthly premium costs and reduced out-of-pocket costs on insurance purchased through the marketplace. Please be aware that if you have access to affordable employer based coverage that provides at least the coverage of a "bronze" plan sold on the marketplace, you won't be able to get cost assistance on the exchange.

ObamaCare Myth: My Employer Has to Cover Me
The employer mandate has been pushed back to 2015. Employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees will have to cover their employees come 2015. Small businesses don't have to insure employees but can get tax breaks of up to 50% of their employee premium costs via the health insurance marketplaces. Learn more about Obamacare and small business.

ObamaCare Myth: Congress is Exempt from ObamaCare
Congress isn't exempt from ObamaCare. Congress and their staff have work based insurance, so thus should be able to stay on their current plan. However an amendment to bill before it became law said they must use health insurance marketplace. They will use the marketplace, but since their staffers, making as little as $30,000 can't get subsidies through the marketplace (they have access to employer based coverage) their employer (the Government) is allowed to cover part of the cost of their premiums. Since all members of Congress have been well aware of this since 2010, any other claim is a willful misrepresentation of the truth.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Takes Sides
"ObamaCare", officially titled the Affordable Care Act, was originally meant as a pejorative term to equate the bill with the current president in order to play politics U.S. health care reform. The truth is the Affordable Care Act is the result of a joint effort between both sides of the isle, health insurance companies and law makers and has been being worked on for decades. The law itself is based on "RomneyCare", The Massachusetts health care insurance reform law, St. 2006, c.58. "RomneyCare" was based on the individual mandate which was proposed by the Heritage Foundation in 1989. The individual mandate was championed by Republicans as alternative to single payer as it put individual responsibility at the forefront of health care reform.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Only Helps X People
The truth is ObamaCare helps everyone. Some of us might pay more, but everyone will be able to enjoy better quality health insurance and more rights and protections in regards to healthcare. When it comes to cost the rule of thumb is that the less you make the more the law helps you. Those who may pay more include individuals and families making over 400% of the poverty level and businesses with over 50 full-time employees making over $250,000.

ObamaCare Myth: Obamacare Means Higher Premiums
One of the most wide spread ObamaCare myths is that ObamaCare increases insurance premiums. While many Americans have seen their health insurance premiums rise since the passing of the new health care law, blaming "ObamaCare" is an over simplification of the truth.

ObamaCare stops insurance companies from raising premiums or denying coverage based on health status. In other words insurance companies must now cover everyone and can't charge a sick person more than a healthy person. This has led some insurers to inflate everyones insurance premium costs.
Luckily, ObamaCare does a lot to mitigate this affect by creating a number of consumer protections and cost-cutting measures that help to decrease the growing rate of health insurance costs.

One of the ways ObamaCare helps to lower insurance premium costs is through the creation of a Health Insurance Exchange Pool known as the Health Insurance Marketplace. Starting October 1st, 2013 low-to-middle income Americans can shop for subsidized, regulated health insurance from competing health care providers using their State's online marketplace. Cost assistance offered through the marketplace greatly reduces premium costs of those making less than 400% of the Federal poverty level. (400% of the Federal Poverty level equates to individuals making less than $46,021 or a family of four making less than $93,700 a year). Learn more about the Health Insurance Marketplace.

A recent CBO report shows that ObamaCare is projected to lower most Americans insurance premiums by 5 - 7%. That being said some Americans, especially families above the 400% FPL mark may pay more for insurance due to the ever increasing growth in premium costs and the new excise tax on high-end insurance plans. Regardless of this, the average cost of health insurance is going down, while the rate at which costs are rising are being curbed by the law.

Despite the best intentions and consumer protections offered by the new health care law (such as insurance companies being required to justify rate hikes of a certain amount to the State for approval), it has not prevented insurance companies are raising rates to compensate for costly aspects of the program such preexisting conditions reform.

ObamaCare Myth: Obamacare Means Higher Taxes

Most Americans will save thousands of dollars a year on medical costs and taxes. In fact ObamaCare includes the biggest middle class tax cut to health insurance in our nation's history by lowering premiums for the average family (primarily low and middle class Americans as mentioned above). While there are a few taxes that may impact Americans above 133% of the poverty level indirectly, the only one that impacts them directly is the "individual mandate". The mandate says: If you don’t obtain coverage or an exemption by January 1st, 2014 you must pay a per-month fee on your federal income tax return for every month you are without health insurance. In 2014 the fee is $95 per adult ($47.50 per child) or 1% of income, whichever is higher. The family max is $285.

An important ancillary effect of the new health care taxes is the mandate that employers with over 50 full-time employees offer health insurance to their employees. This caused some employers to cut workers hours down to part-time to avoid providing coverage. Unfortunately the employer mandate has been suspended until 2015 resulting in needless cuts to worker hours.

The only people who are affected by most of the other taxes you hear about are about are the 3% of businesses and 2% of Americas richest families with incomes of over $250k and capital gains over $250k. - See ObamaCare Taxes for More info and Myth debunking on taxes.

ObamaCare doesn't raise your premium and doesn't mean higher taxes for the most part, but it does limit some tax breaks and tax deductions like HSA caps.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Means Lower Wage and Fewer Jobs
The biggest job creators are small businesses with under 10 employees, next is under 20, next is under 30 employees (it goes on from there). These businesses can receive tax credits through the marketplace to help ease the burden of providing health insurance to their employees. Small businesses have historically had the hardest time providing quality coverage to themselves or their employees.

Come 2015 only businesses with over 50 full-time employees who don't already provide health benefits to their full-timers will be affected by the "employer mandate". These businesses account for .2% of all firms in America. While employees of some of those companies may have their hours cut to part time in order for employers to avoid paying a penalty, ObamaCare actually creates millions of jobs, including tens of thousands of new health care jobs, 16,000 new IRS jobs as well as many more private-sector jobs (especially in small businesses with under 25 employees) and other government jobs.

Most of the top 3% of small businesses polled said that the idea that ObamaCare would affect their job growth or hiring process was an "ObamaCare myth".

Although ObamaCare doesn't directly result in job loss, companies are cutting back hours of full-time workers to below 27 hours in order to avoid providing them with healthcare has been one of the nastier side effects of the bill. Ironically the requirement to provide insurance has been pushed back to 2015.

ObamaCare Myth: Death Panels
The concept of death panels, panels that provision health care and decide if you will live or die, is an ObamaCare myth. There is, however, financial advisory panels that study treatments to keep health care costs down. There was a provision in the health care bill that had to be removed due to this rumor. The provision would have paid doctors for providing voluntary counseling to Medicare patients about wills and end-of-life care options. Removing the provision did, ironically, hurt seniors. That fact is, your health care is in the hands of you and your doctor. ObamaCare regulates insurance not health care.

ObamaCare Myth: Obamacare Comfort Care
There has been an ObamaCare myth going around since 2011 when a "brain surgeon" called up the Mark Levin show to let him know that patients over 70 years old could be given "comfort care" instead of brain surgery depending on the decision of a panel. This "neurosurgeon's" claim has since been debunked by both the AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the CNS (Congress of Neurological Surgeons). We have also checked out the ObamaCare bill itself and can confirm this is an ObamaCare myth. The AANS stated that the man was most likely not a neurosurgeon and was rather pretending to be. The bottom line is that ObamaCare doesn't ration health care, it helps protect consumers against the health care rationing insurance companies have been doing for years.

ObamaCare Myth: Standard of Living Will Decrease
Since your taxes probably won't be affected, your health care costs will go down and your health care will improve the chances of it affecting your standard of living negatively is unlikely. ObamaCare ultimately decreases the deficit by over $200 billion dollars helping our collective standard of living as well.

Obamacare cuts premiums for for millions of American Families and Small Businesses resulting in the biggest tax cut for the middle class in history!

ObamaCare Myth: Cheapest ObamaCare Plan Will Be $20,000 per Family / The Obamacare Myths "Average Family Will Pay $20,000 for Insurance"
This ObamaCare myth is a misleading quote from an IRS report that takes a number of case studies on what Americans will pay for a basic plan on the exchanges in 2016. Some plans come in as under 8% of income which is considered "affordable" and some come in over. The media has been reporting on one case study of a family of 5 who makes over $120,000 and misreport it as an "average family". The truly average family is projected to save on their overall premiums. Remember the IRS estimates may be high considering they are the last people in the world who want you to forgo your health insurance and have to pay the penalty tax, as they are in charge of handling this aspect of ObamaCare.

The ObamaCare myths surrounding premiums are part a fault of speculation (after all we can only project future costs, not know them for sure and of course every family is different and will pay rates specific to their financial status, location, age, as well as other factors. (Gender and health status are no longer factors in health insurance costs). For instance a recent IRS report released in 2013 gave the average cost of premiums Americans would pay in 2016. It shows that while many individuals will have access to affordable insurance, many families will not.

Most individuals and families will pay less or at least under 8% of their income (the amount considered affordable). However, the report shows families with older heads of the household, located in States with high regional cost, making around and over the 400% FPL mark seem to have the least "affordable" insurance.

Families with higher incomes who have older members of the household, and smoke may pay more. Other groups who are estimated to pay more for insurance are those who wish to purchase "Cadillac" plans (there is a 40% excise tax on high cost plans).

The ObamaCare myth is that the "average" family will pay $20,000, however this number is the average cost of what a family of 5 making $120,000 will pay in 2016. Actual costs range from around $7,000 to over $30,000 depending on regional cost factors, age and smoking status. In other words costs range so drastic that an "average" cost is almost useless information, not to mention an average
 American family makes well under $120,000.

PLEASE NOTE: No one can give you an exact cost estimate of what health insurance premiums will cost for 2014. Until the health insurance providers start competing in the exchanges, until then anything else you hear is a myth.

TRUTH on the IRS ObamaCare Myth: IRS Estimates the Average Family (of 5, making over $120k) is Estimated Pay an average of $20k in 2016 for basic Insurance on the insurance exchanges.

ObamaCare Myth: Medicare / Medicaid is Under Attack
ObamaCare reforms Medicare and expands access of Medicaid to millions. There are a number of reformations to Medicare such as closing the "donut hole" for prescription meds, providing better health services and reforming Medicare Advantage (a private Medicare option that lets Medicare be traded on the market, despite taxpayer funding. It currently costs tax payers more than Medicare and Medicaid combined).

Large portions of ObamaCare address improving and expanding Medicare for seniors and cutting waste. Medicaid is not reformed, but is expanded to 15 million low-income Americans. Supporting Obamacare means supporting Medicare / Medicaid.
ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare implants a "CHIP" in you when you get health care... The Mark of the Beast.

We have received multiple letters from concerned readers who believe that they will have a mandatory RFID chip planted in them do to ObamaCare. While RFID chips are a real thing and ObamaCare does pave the way to integrate RIFD chips as a way to provide better medical treatment, there is no mandate. The disinformation is causing a panic and taking away the true debate about RFID chips and the implications of their use.

The following is an example of the ObamaCare implant myth (and is left grammatically intact the way we found it):

"I don't think it is right for president to decide to put chips in the citizens of American hands or anybody else we as Americans have the right to decided if we want the chip its the mark of the BEAST People wake up its in the bible"

The idea that ObamaCare will force Americans to be implanted with RFID chips is a myth. We read the bill and did a search for (this part of the chain email):

The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable."  Then on page 1004 it describes what the term "data" means in paragraph 1, section B:

14 ‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to in
15 formation respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the
20 Secretary"

The Facts on the ObamaCare Chip Myth
The quoted part of the law is about better data collecting for medical records, to reform the way which data is collected to better treat patients. The devices described in paragraph (1) are referring to class II devices which include both life support devices as well as RFID chips. There is no mandate about the insertion of any type of class II device.

The only time "CHIP" in mentioned in the 2,000 plus page bill is as an acronym for "Children's Health Insurance Plan". CHIP provides funds to states in order to cover children in families that do not qualify for Medicaid, but still have modest incomes. CHIP provides insurance to more than 5 million kids. It's part of ObamaCare helping to ensure that all Children have health coverage.
The debate about centralized data collection, RFID chips and how it relates to the affordable care act will become more important as we move into the next decade. Learn more about RFID chips and the

ObamaCare Micro Chip Implant Rumor.
ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Forces Abortions and Contraceptives
ObamaCare gives religious institutions an opt-out for providing specific women's health services (it has also granted waivers to some businesses). Also, contraception coverage is not required by health care companies or exchange commissioners. Although federal funding does go towards women's services and education, it doesn't force anyone to do anything in regards to these services.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare Rations Health Care
This is an ObamaCare myth. The new health care law doesn't ration health care, but insurance companies do.

ObamaCare actually funds research, establishes committees and enacts a number of provisions that protect consumers from the health care rationing insurance companies have been doing for ages.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare is Socialist
ObamaCare is a program that everyone pays into (taxes) in order to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable quality healthcare (protections and services). Medicare / Medicaid / Social Security are all programs that work like this.

ObamaCare allows us all to purchase our own private insurance in a regulated market place. This embraces the ideas of capitalism, regulated free market and freedom of choice, along with the government's protection of your new health care related rights. It's not a widely known fact, but hospitals are almost exempt from the economy and free market due to their ability to set and control prices. Also many medical device manufactures and drug innovators have such a tight control on necessary drugs and treatments that they, in a way, control their own prices as well.

Simply calling ObamaCare a redistribution of the wealth or socialism is a very broad and inaccurate generalization of the law. Plus, there is a high chance that wealth is being "redistributed" to your family and / or small business providing better coverage, bigger tax breaks and putting money back in your pocket while improving the quality of your health care.

ObamaCare Myth: We Need Less Government
Your preference as to whether or not you appreciate the need for the Government that our founding fathers saw a need for is irrelevant when discussing ObamaCare. This is an issue of "do we need healthcare reform?" not "do we need more government?".

At this point in history, less government would mean undoing hundreds of years of progress and handing our country over to corporations. Regulations, laws and taxes are all very important to our every day lives. There is always room for reform and that is exactly what ObamaCare does.

ObamaCare Myth: Privacy / Freedom Will Be Jeopardized
The idea that ObamaCare takes away your freedom is a myth. It doesn't make you do much of anything in regards to health care. The only example of freedom being restricted is the mandate to purchase insurance or pay a tax.

Despite these facts, at the end of the day, ObamaCare costing you your freedom is a Myth. You will most likely save money and have access to better regulated Affordable Healthcare. We will all have better preventive services and the security in knowing we won't be dropped when we are sick or denied for a preexisting condition.

ObamaCare Fact: 1 in 2 Americans technically has a pre-existing condition.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare is Unconstitutional
Not only is ObamaCare constitutional, it has been a law since 2010. The supreme court upheld the law, reaffirming that that ObamaCare isn't unconstitutional.

ObamaCare Myth: ObamaCare "Culling" Seniors:
ObamaCare does nothing but help seniors, it is certainly not "culling" seniors. In fact much of the new health care law focuses on improving care for Seniors via Medicare reforms.

FOX NEWS: Congressman Mark Meadows Anarchist

It's official, even FOX NEWS thinks that Mark Meadows, the architect behind the government shutdown is an anarchist.

In a Sept. 30 report, CNN declares that Western North Carolina freshman congressman Mark Meadows is the "Architect of the brink" and "the man behind the government shutdown." The Republican legislator represents the 11th District, which includes parts of Buncombe County.

Here's some excerpts from the article:

Washington (CNN) -- One of the most prominent developers of the plan that could shut the government down is a little-known congressman who has been in office only eight months.

This newly elected tea party aligned lawmaker downplays his position, saying he has relatively little influence. But in reality, his efforts have pushed Washington to the brink. ...

In August, while lawmakers spent time in their districts, Meadows wrote a letter to his Republican leaders suggesting they tie the dismantling of Obamacare to the bill that funds the government for the next year. ...

Meadows successfully convinced 79 of his colleagues to sign on to his letter. And he went further, leading a group of 40 lawmakers to demand that the continuing resolution, or the short-term government funding bill at issue, zeroes out funding for President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement so far. ...

"For me it's about representing the 749,000 people I was elected to represent," Meadows told CNN in his small Capitol Hill office. He said his constituents want him to fight against Obamacare "regardless of consequences."

... Meadows successfully convinced a reluctant [Speaker John] Boehner to go along with his plan. ...
