As far as I can tell “The Affordable Care Act” is anything BUT affordable…...

The Congressional Budget Office is perhaps the only honest agency left in government. I am truly amazed that it hasn’t been corrupted or shut down.

And that equates to 2 million more not contributing only sucking an economy already headed down. Nah, this won’t exacerbate that!

The Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by more than two million in coming years....

Yet the number of part-timers may increase. And when the Obama-bots look at the big picture, they can claim unemployment is down, see?

It looks like the only way for ObamaCare to succeed is to get rid of the full timers (and their group insurance benefits) and have a nation of part time WalMart employees who must have ObamaCare, or else.

Calling unaffordable Obamacare affordable is ludicrous. There are more people without insurance now than when Obamacare began, and as it begins to affect smaller businesses, that number will go up. It isn’t a matter of choice when people can’t afford it. If the GOP would stop being sidetracked by unimportant issues, like the legal status of illegals, there is a gold mine of votes to be extracted out of fed up Americans.

I prefer Democratcare now. Every single one of those goose stepping Dems needs to own this. Every job loss. Every cancer patient losing their insurance. All of it.

Business Insider on Yahoo Finance!

CBO: Obamacare Will Lead To 2 Million Fewer Workers In The Labor Force By 2017

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cbo-obamacare-lead-2-million-154956476.html

The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday said that the Affordable Care Act will contribute to the equivalent of 2 million workers out of the labor market by 2017, as employees work fewer hours or decide to drop out of the labor force entirely.

The CBO revised much of its outlook on the Affordable Care Act in a new report released Tuesday.

It really needs be called “DemocratCare” opposed to “Obamacare” as calling it “Obamacare” puts it on him, NOT the party that is behind it.

The Democrat Party with their agenda hides behind figureheads leaving them to take the blame, or the awards so they can dodge the blame, but revel in the awards if successful.

Interesting:

The reduction in employment from the health care law “includes some people choosing not to work at all and other people choosing to work fewer hours than they would have in the absence of the law,” the CBO said.

The CBO is saying this because they don’t like having a black President.

This turd of a law passed in 2010 and CBO just figured out that this law is a turd.

The report is inaccurate by understatement. More than 2,000,000 jobs will be lost.

The creation of JOBS creates the need for MORE jobs, as the increased demand created by the initial employment causes the need for more employment.

They're trying to distance Obama from the fiasco he created.

It won't work though. The name is as firmly planted in people's minds as 'Kleenex' is.
