CBO Director Grilled By Republican Lawmakers; "Dworkers Unchained", He Says.

Last edited Thu Feb 6, 2014, 01:38 PM - Edit history (2)

What??? He actually confirmed it will reduce unemployment?

And create 2.5 million new job positions as current workers are able to make the choice to cut back work hours, retire, or take care of the kids without a health catastrophe ruining their whole lives?

And the CBO report says that the ACA "bailout" of insurance companies, last weeks Big Media Lie, is going to profit the government $8 billion?

Once again the Republicans will just pivot to subsidies for the poor make them moochers and subsidies for the rich make them Gods.

Will Republicans and the Idiot Media admit they were taken in by another Fox News twisting of facts to try to create yet another faux outrage and report the truth direct from the mouth of the AUTHOR of the CBO report, because this would be a good one to do it, seeing how Fox was caught with its propaganda pants fully down.

Because it simply IS a very good thing Americans won't have to work 2 jobs to pay for health care coverage anymore and maybe the mother gets to stay at home with the family more. Isn't that only a conservative "value"?

Come on, Right Wingers, you have been totally conned by your media and leaders, how much more smacking around of your intellect will you take in this Political Cycle of Violence? Stop being the victim.

And come on, Left Wingers, stop defending all the time from the shit flung by the monkey people of the right wing media and start shouting about the benefits of millions of American citizens freed from the chains of miserable jobs that enslaved them to their employers at the expense of their health and happiness.

Go over to salon.com for a more detailed explanation of this so-called job loss. Typical RW bs, aka lies.These people couldn't tell the truth even if was advantageous to do so.

Politifact, factcheck.org, the WP fact-checker, etc.: All reached the conclusion that the GOPers are completely misrepresenting the findings.

The loss will be of ~2.5 million people who will have the financial freedom to choose to leave their jobs. The jobs will still exist.


This is so easy to shoot down. I just hope the (D)s can figure it out.

It creates 2.5 million job openings, do you need us to explain common sense economics with crayons?
