Found Hidden In Obamacare - Over $105 Billion In Slush Funds

Scrutiny of the "Obamacare" law has turned up over $105,000,000,000 in different slush funds. For example, in one section it states that the Secretary of HHS will have free and unfettered access to $16 billion as "petty cash", to use in any way she chooses.

And included in Section 1311(a) of Obamacare is an unlimited appropriation to the Health and Human Services secretary that allows HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to extend any - any - amount of money that she wants to any of the 50 states for the purpose of implementing the health-care exchanges. This defies our Constitution because only Congress can appropriate money, but this gives her an unlimited credit card to tap the U.S. Treasury without further Congressional approval.

Nancy Pelosi wasn't kidding when she said we had to pass the bill in order to find out what's in it.

And I suspect this is only the beginning.
