continue to look into launching a formal investigation. congressional watchdogs say that the congresswoman bachmann may have illegally taken money from her political action committee to pay for a campaign consultant while using campaign staff to promote her memoir. she denies it all. she denies that she or her team did anything wrong. she acknowledged earlier this year that she ll not seek re-election to it a fifth term in congress. a judge has now ruled that wisconsin s controversial union reforms do not violate workers rights. republican lawmakers passed those changes in 2011. changes that limit collective bargaining rights for public unions. they also force most state workers to pay more for benefits, benefits like healthcare. opponents who challenge the reforms before a federal judge claim they violated workers speech rights. and equal protection. well, back to the drawing board now for the g.o.p. house republican leaders have just postponed their plan to keep the government from
they have isolated themselves away from the real debate in question about what these folks are saying on the campaign trail, and in the halls of congress. they are lying to the american people. bachmann is wrong. obamacare is not going to bankrupt anybody. states now have actually set-up health care exchanges. are seeing premiums drop. in the state of new york, here alone, health insurance rates are set to drop by at least 50% in the next year. not only does obamacare save money by giving 30 million americans health care and health insurance. it lifts people out of poverty. it makes sure that they re never going to go bankrupt with a medical bill. americans are going to love this when this is fully implemented. love. that s a heck of a word. let s focus on love for a moment.
whoa, what a deal, mr. president, mr. speaker. what a deal. the american people especially vulnerable women, vulnerable children, vulnerable senior citizens, now get to pay more and get less. that s why we re here. congresswoman bachmann, do you have the guts to come to new york and spend one hour with me on camera and let s debate and let s get the facts out about obamacare? why not? i mean, if everything you say on the floor is correct, you could easily say it here in the studios in new york. no one ever challenges you about your faithful no one ever challenges you about what you say and the lies you spew about obamacare. give me a chance. i m on bended knee. come on, michele. you don t have anything to lose. you re not running for office again. certainly you re in command of the facts in your mind. you can certainly stand your ground easily against me. come on! this is what they have done.
regulatory reform. do we want to reform the bible? do we want to reform the christian faith? these people are phony christians. they preach out of one side of their mouth and they operate out of another. to the detriment of americans who need help. denying people. think about this. denying people with preexisting conditions health care is morally wrong. yet they stand on solid ground in their mind that it is the right thing to do. denying 30 million americans health care is simply the wrong way to go. that s not what we want as a country. all this talk about how it is an unpopular policy. no, it s not. it s not. this is what the majority of americans want. we should also point out to congresswoman bachmann that lying is wrong. the american people lose control? what do they get? they get health care, health insurance, i should say, that is more expensive than anything they ve ever paid for before and they get less for it.
the fact is that bachmann is now using religion to try to steal health care from 30 million americans. it is downright despicable. it is disingenuous and she is a liar. obamacare will not kill anyone as a christian, michele bachmann should be ashame of herself. meanwhile the christian movement against obamacare, it is growing. because that s all they re talking about at town halls. as i showed you on this program last weekend, senator ted cruz of texas received a standing ovation from a crowd of conservative christians when he said that he wanted to abolish obamacare. there is no more important regulatory reform that we can do than to repeal every single word of obamacare.
