White House: It's A Good Thing That Obamacare Will Drive 2.5 Million Americans Out Of The Workforce

If losing 2.5M jobs is a good thing, why did we spend $1T saving and creating jobs?

[eyedigress]

I don’t understand the WH anymore. The press bitch says that a lack of employment is true freedom?

Who in their right mind agrees with this?

I ask the moonbats lurking to please explain this to me.

[Fledermaus]

Yes, let’s get rid of all jobs and business so the feds can run out of money to spend since they won’t have any to tax away.

Then all 300 million of us can just frolic in the fields like the Eloi.

[Fledermaus]

What if their dream was a full time, good paying job? lol

[GeronL]

with section 8, food stamps, ObamaCare and ObamaPhones, we are liberated from having to work

lolz

I just noticed today I’m paying $1.04/month to underwrite Obamaphones.

I thought it was much less.

Over the longer run, CBO finds that because of this law, individuals will be empowered to make choices about their own lives and livelihoods, like retiring on time rather than working into their elderly years or choosing to spend more time with their families.

Retiring on time? Doesn't that mean at the social security age, when one gets Medicare? So that Obamacare is a nonplayer at that point.

Liberal logic is, as usual, illogical and nonsensical.

Under today's rules, yes.

But don't you suppose that, over the long-term, the idea is to fold Medicare into Obamacare?

After all, it is Obamacare that has the Death Panel instruments, not Medicare. And the entire purpose of the exercise is wealth re-distribution -- to spend less money on elderly folks and more money on the "uninsured", thereby acquiring more votes.

You can't accomplish that objective without Death Panels...

Scary thought. But yes, when the single-payer plan is implemented because Obamacare is such a failure, I suppose the two systems will merge. (But the older folks should have a portion of their premium paid through their Medicare withholdings over the years too).
