It said that the CBO summary instead showed that some who stay in low paid jobs or put off retirement to keep health insurance plans linked to employers would no longer have to under Obamacare and could chose to leave the work force or toil for fewer hours.

"Claims that the Affordable Care Act hurts jobs are simply belied by the facts in the CBO report," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement, which appeared just before the White House conducted a hurriedly organized call for reporters.

"Since the Affordable Care Act passed into law in March 2010 the private sector has added 8.1 million jobs," Carney said.

"That is the strongest 45 month job growth since the late 1990s and contrasts with the 3.8 million private sector jobs lost in the decade before the Affordable Care Act passed."

To paraphrase a member of the Clinton Crime Family...

It depends on what the meaning of “jobs” is.

I predicted that the trend toward “29ers” in employment would create additional part time jobs to pick up the slack. I think it’s happening. And they’re all counted as “jobs”

They like to wander around in the dark in the People’s House, the Senate, the SC, and the White Hut.

“n January 2009, when President Barack Obama took office, there were 80,507,000 Americans not in the labor force. Thus, the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 10,102,000 during Obama’s presidency.”

But hey let’s not let facts get in the way... those numbers are from October 2013

Just wait till they legalize thirty million and then that thirty million will bring in their extended families. There will be one hundred million new jobs according to the press releases.

I watched Scott Pelley on CBS News saying that the report was GOOD NEWS because it meant that people could retire early without having to worry about their health insurance. Honestly, I can’t stand that smug SOB, but watch him because its instructive to see the modern day equivalent of Joseph Gobbels in action.

They don’t need “damage control”...the media will bury this TRUTH within the next 48 hours.

More Christie coverage.
Attacking Nathan Deal.
Hillary Clinton worship.

Something will happen to make the media ignore the intentional destruction of freedom along with the health care system.

That is what I am thinking too.

All the MSM, except Fox, are going with the how good this is theme.

Anyway I slice it, all I see is that 2 million full time jobs disappear and by the looks of things no one will be filling those jobs or they will become part time less paying jobs.
