The Libs Think 2 Million Fewer Jobs is Good News

It may seem hard to imagine, but yesterday's report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office is being spun as "good" news by the liberal media.  I wrote about the report yesterday, but I had to write again because of the shocking reaction by the left.  The CBO announce that its studies show that due to Obamacare, there will be 2 million fewer Americans employed in two years than otherwise would have been the case.  In our stagnant Obama economy, the loss of two millions jobs is a terrible problem, but not to the liberal media.  According to the LA Times, this is actually good news.  The Times writes that the people who will not be working will have chosen not to do so.  People who currently have to work to keep their health care coverage won't need to do so because they will get huge subsidies to let them stop work.  That may not have fully sunk in, so let me restate it this way:  according to the LA Times, American will be better off because two million more people will be on Medicaid and not working due to Obamacare.

The reporter and editor who put that piece out in the LA Times clearly have lost their marbles.  I wonder how many people would tell you that they would prefer unemployment and Medicaid to a job and regular healthcare coverage.  I don't think you could find many who want to be unemployed.  BUT THAT IS WHAT THE TIMES IS TELLING US!!!  Who do they think is going to believe this nonsense.

The truth is that the CBO report is a disaster for Obamacare.  We now have a non-partisan government office telling us about the calamitous effect that Obamacare is going to have on employment levels.  Couple that with the facts that (a) premiums are going way up; (b) deductibles are going way up; (c) availability of doctors and hospitals for most people are going way down; (d) the number of folks without insurance is actually rising rather than falling as promised; and (e) tens of millions of more people are going to have their insurance cancelled in 2014 due to Obamacare, and you have a death sentence for this law.  No amount of lies from the liberal press is going to change this.  Either the law goes now, or it goes after the Democrats lose big in Novembers.
