Obama Decries "Phony Financial Profits" -- Then Supports Obamacare Budget Gimmicks
“President Obama's health care law established the CLASS Act, a brand-new federal long-term entitlement program.
“It turns out that the math for the program doesn't add up, and it will not work. The worst part about it is that the administration has known from the very beginning that this program—and the President's entire health care law was built on phony financial profits.
“Specifically, the Obama administration hid behind a Congressional Budget Office estimate showing that this program would reduce the deficit by $70 billion ...

Missing from State of the Union: Obamacare
“It's now no longer possible to apply for an annual benefit limit waiver—no longer an option for business owners in this country.
“So that means that it leaves hard-working Americans who want to start a new business forced to choose between two options. And I think they're bad options.
