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
 
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!

Speaking of reading up on medical-related issues, have you figured out yet that HIV = AIDS?

Have you produced the scientific paper that proves that assertion in no uncertain terms yet?

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.

Yeah.....its a hell of a scam......on taxpayers.
 
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."

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.

What's desperate is the blinders wearing bullhorn blown by folk like you REFUSE to acknowledge the benefits given as opposed to the status quo that existed previously....let alone the purely absurd "alternatives" offered by the current GOP.

Like I told Zap, it ain't perfect, but it beats out the BS by the teabagger/neocon peanut gallery.
 
The ACA is the best thing for Americans since Social Security. Remember. Repukes have been trying to destroy SS ever since it became law. Kinda telling, isn't it?
