and they will get out of it. you know, it is stunning. i mean, this is absolutely stunning. here are the unions are the ones who are pushing this so much. and now they re asking for a special deal which will just add more money to the american people because if they re not paying $63, you know, a head. then we have got to pick up the here is the other thing which slays me. get out aer year. money we are collecting it s 12 billion in 2014, 8 billion in 2015. 5 billion in 102016. big bulk. if they get out the first year. makes it even worse. that s right. look, the unions you said in your intro, i mean, they did a lot to help pass obamacare. they did a lot to help elect president obama in 2008 and 2012. they want some favors. they got some in obamacare. remember that cadillac tax that s going to apply to insurance policies with a lot of features they got that delayed for a while. special favor.
passed the legislation, why do you need a subsidy in the first place? exactly and it underscores all of the problems that have been happening with obamacare. as one of my colleagues said, obamacare in its implementation is a train wreck. what is interesting about that quote, it is not from a fellow conservative, from max baucus the democratic chair of the finance committee that helped draft and pass obamacare. bill: back to the point. people in congress are worried about a brain drain. if the law was so good and so sufficient, why would you people be running away for it. for america and small business, let s fix all of that, not just take care of washington. bill: here is another point from your letter. you talk about congress treating itself like a higher select ruling class. is that what you see? that s what i see here and unfortunately that s what we see all too off then. this is a recurring theme. back in 1994 in the contract with america, one the first
care under obamacare, no, i wouldn t support that. i think they should have the same thing that everybody else has, and if they have to pay extra out of pocket, a lot of people pay extra out of pocket, but we really don t know what s happening yet. bill: the office of personnel management that runs federal benefit will release regulatory details this week. and if they make these changes, tony, what does it say about the law? well, first of all, obviously we ve seen this week, this is the third strike for obamacare, the employer mandate has been suspended, but the president has agreed to do so. the unions, who largely backed obamacare, who who were the bigt beneficiaries of the first wave of waives, now they re saying these unintended consequences destroy the integrity of the 40-hour workweek, so unions now are against congress and congress, although this is only 11,000 people, this is still egregious. and the reason we don t know exactly what is in this is because they are avoiding a
that s happened so far this year. it s up 19.5% from 52 weeks ago. so you if you got in a year ago, you re smiling right now. [laughter] we ll see what we have coming up at 9:30 when the markets get open. all right, they helped the white house pass obamacare, now they re none too happy about living with it themselves. congress reportedly gets a free pass. how in the world does that happen? we ll debate that coming up, fair and balanced. patti ann: plus, your money wasted? the tax dollars the government blew on training for green jobs that don t exist. bill: also, one of america s most popular tourist destinations, what police are saying about a possible motive after a man uses his car as a weapon mowing down people at the beach there. this guy had an intent to create mayhem and massacre a lot of people. and then he just started going straight down the boardwalk about 60 miles an hour. i like a clean kitchen.
what do you think about this? look, we could all agree that there are multiple sides to this story on what is good health care reform, if obamacare s good for america, if it s popular, but we should at least not disagree that if congress passes a law, they should live under that exact same law and not begin to create carveouts and two-tiered systems. bill: that was the idea. chuck grassley put an amendment into the bill that said if congress passes this, congress has to live with it. now not so much. correct. senator grassley put that amendment in, it was supported by chairman max baucus, the democrat chair of the committee who has since called its implementation a train wreck. then harry reid decided to try to fix something for congressional members and their staffs so they could continue to receive their premium subsidies for their health care while, meanwhile, any other american not working in congress or being a congressman would still not qualify for some of these bill: but
