Federal Judge in Florida Case Expected to Rule on Monday

Then it's only fair to give Obama another 4 years. You can't expect him to fix in 2 years something that took the Democratic majority in both houses 4 years to screw up. (Yes, Bush helped them a great deal).

RIck

I keep hearing that Obama is going to need time to fix the problems Bush created or allowed to happen. That is the mind-set of the average Obama supporter IMO. It's like a broken record.
 
Interest rates starting to tick up. The feds have been catching a break on the national debt. When interest rates rise that will suck up even more of the DC cash flow.

And yes, balloon payments on commercial loans. Surprised we haven't seen very much of that yet. Got a lot of vacant commercial property here in Atlanta. Some high rise buildings totally vacant. Two malls have bit the dust.
 
Also look for loans made via Private Equity deals. Those loans are going to explode soon.
 
From the decision:

"Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void"

"In the final analysis, this Act has been analogized to a finely crafted watch, and that seems to fit. It has approximately 450 separate pieces, but one essential piece (the individual mandate) is defective and must be removed. It cannot function as originally designed. There are simply too many moving parts in the Act and too many provisions dependent (directly and indirectly) on the individual mandate and other health insurance provisions — which, as noted, were the chief engines that drove the entire legislative effort — for me to try and dissect out the proper from the improper, and the able-to-stand-alone from the unable-to-stand-alone. Such a quasi-legislative undertaking would be particularly inappropriate in light of the fact that any statute that might conceivably be left over after this analysis is complete would plainly not serve Congress’ main purpose and primary objective in passing the Act. The statute is, after all, called “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” not “The Abstinence Education and Bone Marrow Density Testing Act.” The Act, like a defectively designed watch, needs to be redesigned and reconstructed by the watchmaker."
