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.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
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)

send that muslim to Gitmo!
They are putting z positive spin on this and tge masses will buy it, as usual. Maybe all the talk of heroin and prescription narcotic gateway drug addiction will be allowed on the airwaves a few more days, as grossed out as I am about that Hoffman guy
People shouldn’t work so they can pursue their passions
The output of good cultural material, art, literature, drama has been deteriorating. Not because of the lack of time people have to do it, but because of the lack of truth in society
This idleness will breed more veil
Not to mention economic ridiculousness
No one is minding the children and theironey.
We are living off of them
It’s disgusting in biblical proportions
That is exactly the way Communists talk. We have them in our Gov posing as Americans.
Ok, I have had my fill of this crap from the demonrats, I think everyone of these morons that spouts this stupidity should have their pay and benefits slashed in half, told to shut up and enjoy their free time!
Ellison joins the long list of Democrat “Representatives” (leaving out Senators for the moment) who prove the old theorem that there is no limit to their stupidity.
The Guinness Book of Records is developing a whole section devoted to Stupid Democrats. I guarantee you that it will be a best seller.
* Guam Tip Over threat due to more troops stationed there
* 57 States
* Not working is good for the family
* More illegal or even legal low wage aliens are good for the black unemployed
* Target and Trader Joe stores which create jobs for the black residents of high unemployment areas are BAD for those people
* Anything that Sheila Jackson-Lee says. (What a conundrum she is - named for two of the leading Confederate military men.
* Cummings (D-Md) saying that if you can connect the dots of factual information with an in-your-face pattern of behavior (the IRS et al investigating a woman’s business all within a few months of creating/filing a new organization that is anti voter fraud), that is just speculation and maybe racism.
* Just because the greater majority of knock-out crime perpetrators are black, there is no reason to think that racism might be the cause of it. (Blame it on the Amish).
* Clean white sheets are racist. I made that up but it sounds like something these clowns would say.
I hope that someone makes a list of all the stupid saying that Black Democrat politicians say and post it here. We need a good laugh and cry.
As for Ellison, what did you expect from a leftist Black Moslem Democrat from Minnesota? Sanity?
Americans work too hard......?
This is free political advertising for a Conservative Republican.
Democrats went from jobs jobs jobs to eh more free time!
You can’t generate holiday time, nor the pay to take a holiday, if you’re not working.
So... your family doesn’t eat. Americans eat too much anyway.
As an alternative, of course, you can always join the communist overthrow of America being led by President Good-for-nothing. Then, at least, the Democrats will give you food stamps, courtesy of the Marxist Revolution.
Where do these magicians think the food will come from when the ranchers and farmers quit taking fiat currency? There has to be food in the grocery stores to use food stamps on.
If us kaffir stop working so much, how can we generate enough revenue for that jizyah he so desperately wants to extract from us, eh?
The United Sattes is moving rapidly to a Marxist government. The food - and the farms - belong to The People. The farmers will only be allowed to work them as long as they proiduce.
When they wise up and stop, the Marxists will take them over as they have in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Then no one will have anything to eat, it’s true, but at least we’ll have “social justice” Marxist-style.
Oh, and all the best food items will go straight to the White House.

With no offense intended to our children, this administration constantly insults adult citizens! Some liberals are clearly stupid, IMO---too stupid to know they are stupid. For them it is natural to believe all who disagree with them have to be wrong.
Other liberals, IMO, know exactly what their agenda is---to make America a socialist country.
Woe to their children and grandchildren, etc. They will eventually pay a heavy price along with everyone else.
wow.
So we have gone from pretending that we are in a recovery, pretending the President is focused on job creation to now saying “fewer jobs is a good thing”
close to half of America will lap this up
Where will the Government get the money for food stamps if non-workers and short-time employees can’t pay the amount of tax money they crave?
