    Default Clarification: CBO report on ACA

    Willful stupidity in the Obamacare debate


    Glenn Kessler, The Post’s intrepid fact checker, replied firmly: “No, CBO did not say Obamacare will kill 2 million jobs.” What the report said, as the Wall Street Journal accurately summarized it, is that the law “will reduce the total number of hours Americans work by the equivalent of 2.3 million full-time jobs.”

    Is this a difference without a distinction or a distinction without a difference.....lol
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Some of those hours will be a choice of the worker. Others, as we have already seen, will be involuntary. And those may or may not get back filled. And if they are it will also be part time to dodge regs.

    It's a fact that you're willful ignorance cannot comprehend, chuckles. Let me dumb it down for you: Rather than work 2 jobs with no benefits to try and cover potential/regular medical expenses, you can work one job with the benefits. Understand now, chuckles? Maybe if you read the ENTIRE article, you would....but that would mean your resignation from the Limbaugh listeners club (or some equivalent there of).

    Before this, the choice was either work 2 (or more) jobs in order to meet regular medical costs. The rest of your parroting is based on the actions of greedy owners and political/social idealogues who would rather screw their workers than just adjust their financial structure....with the hope of the dismal prediction you give. Here's a thought, READ THE DAMNED ARTICLE!

    No? Thought not.

    So, any brilliant thoughts on the subject title at hand?

    Precisely.

    What this means is some people who may have been working solely because of the benefits they received may now choose to retire thanks to the ability to get insurance through the ACA.

    True that! Mind you, it's not a perfect system....but the sheer bulk of distortions, exaggerations and out right lies by the right wing-nuts just gets to be too much sometimes.

    Desperation. It's not attractive. The law sucks, and you get to reap the benefit of "we have to pass it so people can find out what's in it."
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Correct...the increasing desperation shown by those opposed to the ACA is quite unattractive.

    Perhaps you could find something NEW to whine about...that whole "read it to know what's in it" nonsense was disproven YEARS ago.
