The Obama administration is in a desperate race against time to stop the bleeding from a huge self-inflicted wound.\u00a0 Last year 80% of people who signed up for ObamaCare paid almost no premium.\u00a0 That is because if you said you qualified for a subsidy, you got the subsidy.\u00a0 No questions asked.\u00a0 So a lot of people signed up, paid a small amount of premium and life was great.\u00a0 Now, when they file their 2014 tax returns they are getting an unpleasant surprise.\u00a0 Suddenly they learn that they didn\u2019t qualify for the subsidy after all.\u00a0 Instead of getting a tax refund this year, they have to pay Uncle Sam back for that subsidy.\u00a0 Oops.<\/p>\n

The following article explains what is happening:<\/p>\n

What makes this wound hurt even more is that Democrats fought Republican efforts to delay the individual mandate to the bitter end.\u00a0 That\u2019s right folks, Republicans gave them an easy out and they were too stupid to realize it.\u00a0 Democrats own this fiasco.\u00a0 They have owned it from the start when they passed it with no Republican votes.\u00a0 They doubled down on stupidity when they shut down the government rather than consider any changes.\u00a0 One of those changes was to delay the individual mandate.<\/p>\n

Democrats are now seeking 13th-hour relief for people caught off guard by the results of that tax “slog.” \u00a0Liberals who voted against Republican efforts to delay the individual mandate tax are now very concerned about their constituents’ interactions with the individual mandate tax. \u00a0The\u00a0Washington Post\u00a0explores this\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>amusing, predictable political panic<\/a>\u00a0in a piece entitled, “Democrats Are Bracing for Another Obamacare backlash:”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This reminds me of a scene from Animal House when the gang had trashed Flounder\u2019s car:<\/p>\n

\u201cFlounder, you can\u2019t spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes!\u00a0 You f#**ed up,.\u00a0 You trusted us!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats thought that delaying the individual mandate would destroy ObamaCare.\u00a0 Instead, being too stupid to delay the individual mandate has the potential to destroy the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Democrats are in near panic, almost begging Republicans to delay the individual mandate.\u00a0 Sometimes, stupidity is its own reward.\u00a0 Watch and enjoy.\u00a0 It is extremely rare to see so many supposedly brilliant and decidedly arrogant people desperately trying to wipe the egg off their collective faces.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations America.\u00a0 You messed up, you trusted Democrats.\u00a0 Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi were willing to shut down the government in 2013, to make sure you enjoyed this nice little surprise. You sure showed Ted Cruz didn\u2019t you?\u2019\u00a0 How about a big round of applause.\u00a0 Nice work!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
