E.J. DIONNE: Well, this did not say, "ObamaCare is a job killer." On the contrary, when Doug Elmendorf of the C.B.O. testified, he said that this will probably net create jobs. Just think about the money put in people's pockets when they're saving on their insurance from subsidies. What he said is some people might temporarily or leave the labor force.

Think of two people, we're supposed to be for family values. You have a couple where somebody wants to leave the labor force for a couple years to take care of their kids. Under the old system, if that person tells the health insurance, they didn't have the option to leave. Now they can. What you're doing is expanding people's choices. But you're also in the end going to create jobs out of it.

"Think About The Money Put In People's Pockets When They're Saving From Subsidies"...think about the money taken out of people's pockets - and mortgage payments, and college funds, and retirement accounts - to pay the taxes to pay other people's subsidies.....

They are correct.

If you are NOT working, you save money on gasoline, eating lunch out and since you are NOT working your income is probably less than when you were, so you are not shopping as much, going out to eat, all which generates MORE tax money for the Government.

So, you not only are not making money, you are not spending and if enough people are not making money and not spending it, it means the people that ARE working in the places that you were spending money will likely get laid off, thereby taking MORE taxes out of the mix.

I think if they keep trying the LIBS will finally figure out how to have a ‘designated PEE area in a swimming pool’.

Or, like these lame statements they are coming out with, they will be able to convince their following that they HAVE designated a PEE area in the swimming pool that works.
