Let’s connect a couple of dots here.

The well-dressed, well-groomed, minimum wage Fry Cook plant for 0bama’s Google Hangout complained that his hours are being cut from 40 to 29 per week because of ObamaCare. At his $7.25 an hour wage, his income will be cut from $15,080 per year to $10,933, thanks to ObamaCare.

This is an example of what the CBO is calling a “reduction in the number of full-time workers. And, yet, the Head of the Council of Economic Advisors says this is exactly the scenario that will be “positive” because such workers will “have more choices”. I wonder if the Fry Cook considers his situation as positive???

I was just watching the CBO on Cspan. I don't know why they think we should trust these numbers when they have been wrong in the past. This is the same CBO that underestimated the cost of obamacare by a mile. The CBO numbers are as accurate as the unemployment and inflation numbers. Worthless.

“Don’t act surprised, either. Nancy told you this was coming. Look on the bright side: If fewer people working is a sign of economic success, the Obama presidency will be remembered as a golden age.”

These people live in some bizarre alternate reality.

They don't live in ANY type of reality at all. They live in Obama World, where right is left, up is down, in is out, hot is cold, and communism always works.
