During the February 9 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) said the loss of work hours due to Obamacare could actually be a good thing because Americans work too much anyway, compared to people in other industrialized countries.

The discussion began when round-table host Jonathan Karl asked Congressman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) about a CBO report showing "the equivalent of two million-plus workers coming out of the economy" due to Obamacare.
Cole said, "Obamacare has been an issue from day one that's hurt Democrats and helped Republicans." And he said it's "not going to go away" as an issue "because it's fundamentally a flawed, bad policy."
Ellison countered that the CBO report on the reduction of hours worked means, "We are going to have parents being able to come home, working reasonable hours. People are going to be able to retire. People might actually be able to cook dinner rather than have to order out and get some takeout."
He added: "If you look at international comparisons country by country, Americans work way more that the average of industrialized countries around the world."(continued)

You have to consider the source. This lowlife, Ellison, has probably never done an honest day’s work in his pathetic little Muzzie life.
despicable
Since Less is More, And More is Bad, then Less is good.
Less Government is good.
Less Regulations is a definite good!
Ae less jobs also good, and more jobs bad?
Dear Mr Mooslum. That reason we work too many hours, is to pay for inflation. Pinche mooslum. When amabO kneels to pray, can you tell us what he had to eat?
Does Rep. Ellison understand that taxpayers, including their children and grandchildren, are going to be working 12 hours a day for decades in order to pay of the ungodly humongous national debt created by the Democrats?
As if you couldn't retire when you had more hours... you can now retire because you've been docked hours.
They truly must think they're talking to a nation of kindergarteners.
muslim marxist libtard defending damaged economy.
i guess they’re doing high fives considering all the people not working anymore at all.
Dear Mr Mooslum. That reason we work too many hours, is to pay for inflation. Pinche mooslum. When amabO kneels to pray, can you tell us what he had to eat?
why would the democrats have freaked if bush would have given this lame-ass excuse?
just imagine. they freaked the country out at 5% unemployment. it was awful times, just awful. now we allk work too much.
The islamoNazi program to weaken America is alive and well, despite the fact that there are still many of us who’d like to find gainful employment. BS like “ we work too hard anyway” is the last thing we want to hear from the politicians that have been destroying our jobs for the last five years.
>> compared to people in other industrialized countries.
Socialist.
When there is a Republican in office, they complain incessantly about the lack of jobs. When a Dem is in office suddenly Americans not only have enough jobs, but also are spending too much time working. Amazing what magic happens during a Democrat’s term.
A fresh, steaming hot serving of Stupid.
Too much working leads to that other problem plaguing Americans today....too much money!
Which is BOTH hugh and serieus!
One of these days. One of these effing days.
