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)

“Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN)”...
Americans work too much anyway? What would that idiot know about “work”?
Ellison says Americans work too much.
Not his consituents! /S
Yep, the American Dream is to be less ambitious, set lower goals, work less, have less money, achieve less, and let Big Daddy gooberment take care of you.
Funny, I don’t ever remember when they were selling us on the “benefits” of Obamacare, them saying that “Americans work too much, and Obamacare will fix that, too!”
You can’t make this crap up. It is absolute INSANITY.
It’s part of their culture that only the low class people work.
Most muzzie/arabs consider actual work to be beneath them.
... and another buffoon from Minnesota is heard from. Must be something in the water.
Walter Williams calls money “certificates of satisfying your fellow man”.
And that’s a good way of putting it. We need an alternative currency that reflects only that, instead of “I voted for someone to take it from someone that pleased his fellow man.”
Print more money, of course!
I know. When I was in Saudi Arabia I learned this. I am shocked that this country is becoming the same way. Like Saudi, we now have to import workers to do the work that the people living here are too good to do themselves. It’s disgusting.
Sadly, I do not think you are too far from the truth.
I wonder where those people think food comes from? I suppose they believe that food, clothing, etc., will appear magically when no one is actually working to produce those.
The utter stupidity of liberals never fails to amaze.

Lowering the bar is SOP when trying to justify failed policy.Democrats have made it an art form.
Fewer people working they now say is a good thing!
“Taqiyya Makes Her Head Come Off”
Well played!
Most of his constituents don't have the foggiest idea what that is anyhow.
