Reporter to Carney: How Does Less People Working Due to Obamacare Not Hurt The Economy?

RCP Video ^ | 2-6-2014

[Sir Napsalot]

JAY CARNEY: First of all, let me just correct you. You asked about the deficit. As the CBO reported yesterday, consistent with what is reported in the past, the CBO projects that the Affordable Care Act will reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars.

(snip)

And I think one hugely significant one is the historic reduction in health care inflation that we've seen. We've had the slowest rate of health care cost growth in 50 years since the Affordable Care Act was passed, which directly contradict those who oppose the Affordable Care Act. .....

The CBO report says specifically, contrary to everything Republicans have said, the Affordable Care Act is not and will not significantly reduce, cause employers to reduce hours, throw people into part-time employment.

[Sir Napsalot]

Look, not that I believe a word Carney's saying, but didn't Obama arbitrarily delay employer mandate fine and other delays?

Wait till those come into effect, and what is Carney going to say? "Unexpectedly"?

[bigbob]

nah, he’ll just say it’s because the Fox News TV Station keeps telling people it’s bad

[I want the USA back]

He gets paid big bucks to lie.

[molson209]

well there would be less taxes coming in for congress tooooo waste

[Maceman]

Proving once again that the only shovel-ready job Obama ever created is Jay Carney’s.

Has the actual report been removed from the CBO web site?

Well, that much is true. It is damned hard to experience any real cost growth direct to the consumer under ACA. Simply because such a pitifully small number of consumers have been able to ACTUALLY USE IT, much less experience actual cost growth.

This WH Press Turd is a lying, dissembling, equivocating prevaricator of the highest order. He puts John Lovitz in the amateur category.

Reporter to Carney: How Does Less People ...
That should be fewer people, not less people.

[lee martell]

Jay will need to recalibrate the Spin Machine before it goes into overdrive.

[Doctor 2Brains]

Don’t forget burying dead Mexicans killed by fast and furious...

[bunkerhill7]

I got it!
It`s called GLOBAL JOB WARMING-

Hot = Cold

More = Less

By having people sit in their asses and do nothing, they will be warming up their asses, conserve heat and energy, thus lessening the demand for foreign oil and fossil fuels such as coal.

I Got it!

Good comments at the link. One thing they all have in common is not taking Carney seriously. The Obama administration is a credibility vacuum. There is no way for them to fix that.

He gets paid big bucks to lie.

Then he damn well oughta be able to lie better than he has been!

[EagleUSA]

Lying and fraud is all these anti-American fascists have.
The TRUTH would put them out of business — a top priority.

Liberalism remains the nation’s leading mental disorder.

Reporter to Carney: How Does Less People ...

Reporter immediately removed from the press room and his credential revoked permanently.

[Ghost of SVR4]

All the progressives (<--Democrats) have to do is hang on to the Senate through Nov/2014. After that, they have two years to completely wreck the country and put as many Americans as they can into the hurt locker while Hillary is on deck warming up all the pitch lines about how she, the democrats and government are going to save us all in 2016 and it is those republicans holding everything back. Meanwhile, if we fail to purge the House of the GOPe in November, there will be no one around to stop them.

I'm reserving my last bit of hope however. I am praying even though the media is in lockstep with it's beloved political party and delivering their lines every night that even run of the mill Democrats are tired of being lied to and treated as being stupid. They got hoodwinked with o-care; it'l be up to them if they want to be owned and ruled or if they want to live with some sort of freedom left after this fiasco of a pResident.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Carney seems to have corrected the reporter by altering his question to a completely different one.

>>How Does Less People Working Due to Obamacare Not Hurt The Economy?

Because the Cloward-Piven-Soros-Obama economy is depending on this to be the final piece to fall into place: a workforce that stops working.

Then, we get fascism/communism to “stimulate” the economy.

Then, there is work for all. Arbeit Macht Frei

I almost want to see it happen now, so the lazy welfare class who has never worked in their life suddenly wake up to find that people without skills are good candidates for work camps, dangerous mines, and collective farms—and their post-partum depression from 10 years ago no longer qualifies them for disability. And if they insist that they are disabled, then they can go to the “disabled dormitory” for “special” treatment.

[Fightin Whitey]

should be fewer people

Yes indeed. Thank you.

Yesterday at Newsbusters there was a headline that read:

Even the ‘View’ Crew Are Shocked By Dire ObamaCare News: Is It the ‘End’ of the Law?
