View source for Talk:Predicting ObamaCare Outcome

== One question ==

Which key part(s) of the bill do you predict will be struck down and which, if any, will be upheld? As I understand (from a foreign perspective) there are several elements to consider, so which are the critical ones on which your prediction is based?

Oh well, never mind

Something to learn from this: making predictions is stupid. [[User:CasparRH|CasparRH]] 10:18, 28 June 2012 (EDT)

== So the experts were right? ==

Maybe we shouldn't completely dismiss the opinion of people with training and experience? --[[User:MatthewQ|MatthewQ]] 01:57, 1 July 2012 (EDT)
: Now I see in main page predictions that nations that are atheistic and accept same sex marriage will fare badly in the Olympics. Absolutely nothing learned from this. --[[User:MatthewQ|MatthewQ]] 14:20, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

::The experts were wrong - they predicted the law would be upheld under the [[Commerce Clause]], and ''Conservapedia'' was right in expecting otherwise.  But Conservapedia does not claim to be right in every one of its predictions.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 14:38, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

::: [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=990089 "85% of experts predict ObamaCare will be fully upheld Thursday. Conservapedia predicts ObamaCare's key part will be declared unconstitutional"] Nothing in that quote or link about the [[Commerce Clause]]. Is it really that hard for you to just admit that you were wrong? --[[User:MatthewQ|MatthewQ]] 15:03, 1 July 2012 (EDT)

::::Conservapedia does not claim to be right in every one of its predictions? So why make them? [[User:CasparRH|CasparRH]] 12:15, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

== Easy to predict the future of ObamaCare ==

It is easy to predict the future of ObamaCare.  Merely look at the size of the U.S. federal deficit and its continued expansion and the austerity budgets being applied in the Eurozone. Plus, sooner or later, younger generations burdened with excessive taxes due to an aging baby boomer population (many of whom retired while they could still work [http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/04/should_social_security_survive.html unlike many previous generations]) are going to say enough is enough and much of the financial ponzi scheme of liberalism will end.

==Update?==
This page seems to require some updating since it speaks of the decision in the future tense and does not reflect the fact that the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to uphold the statute. Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 21:29, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

:Excellent point.  I added an update, and please feel free to improve it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:34, 7 July 2012 (EDT)
