Here's Proof: the Obama Administration Doesn't Care Whether You Work Or Not
It was mildly surprising when the Congressional Budget Office announced this week that the Affordable Care Act will result in some 2.5 million fewer Americans working than otherwise. What was shocking was that the Obama administration response revealed that the president is simply indifferent to whether you have a job or not. In the new Newspeak, a job equals confinement and unemployment is liberation.
If, as a senior White House official said, the news “reflects the fact that workers have a new set of options and are making the best choices that they can choose to make for themselves given those options,” wouldn’t it make sense to free even more workers from the tyranny of employment, say by offering permanent gold-plated unemployment benefits to all who seek them?
By the administration’s logic, an unemployment rate of 20, 50 or even 100 percent would be nothing to worry about, and might even be worth a hearty cheer, provided those who were unemployed were simply choosing not to work rather than being rejected by employers.

It was not entirely satire.
His policies don’t work, and I care about that. A lot.
I was terminated Monday after 32 years of gainful employment with only a 2 month break in 32 years due to a layoff.
I turn 55 in 5 weeks and am terrified that I will never work again.
These were supposed to be my peak earning years.
How could he even understand if he wanted to (which he doesn’t want to), when he’s never worked a real job a day in his life? Why should he care when the only constituency he even gives half a rap about, contains a large number who would rather live on less if it means not having to work, when they could have a decent life by holding a job, though that would mean doing it the hard way, the decent way?

They will then lock you in.
I would prefer to keep my home and my savings and continue to work.
More and more people competing for fewer and fewer jobs is ugly and it is only going to gt uglier.
What general geographic area are you in,
and what general experience do you have?
I am so sorry to hear of your misfortune, I pray you will soon find something soon.
Sorry to hear that. I can’t begin to imagine what you r going thru. I will keep you in my prayers. Only God knows how this will work out for you, but it will work out. It is to bad that good people suffer because of Obama.
0Bamma promised to fundamentally transform the USA.... this is just another part of his grand plan... increased unemployment, more government dependence, slowly and methodically erode the middle class, increase taxes on the rich, totally reduce the USA from superpower to 3rd world status... and Americans are giving him all the power to do so...

I am in the Dallas area and have 32 years of military electronics experience. Anything from DC to daylight along with digital.
Appreciate the prayer.
We’ll it is particularly bad time for it to happen.
It would suck even if the economy were booming.

Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you!
“…I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means.—I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” Benjamin Franklin said this in 1766. It was true then and it’s true now.
Obama never had job and he’s been doing alright , LOL
The Obama administration does care if you live or die, let alone whether you work or not.
