In every campaign ad, the GOP should pound Obama and the Democrats as declaring a War on Workers. No subsidized sloth! It has never been the American ethos, and we do not need to be “transformed” into Greece.

Reminds me of this old old joke:

Boss: I’ve got good new and bad news for you.

You: What’s the bad news?

Boss: The bad news is you’re fired, the good news is you can spend more time with your family.

RE:”This doesn't sound so good. But to liberals, it's supposed to be music to our ears. As the New York Times explained, it's “a liberating result of the law.”
Others were equally laughable.
• “ObamaCare will give more of us more time away from work. This is a good thing.”
• It “will enable more than 2 million workers to escape ‘job lock.’”
• It “gives workers more choices, including the option to work less.”
• Because ObamaCare will make people less willing to work, companies will “have to pay more per hour to get those workers in the door.”
• One lawmaker even boasted ObamaCare will give parents more time to “tuck their children in at night.”

Bribing the poor to not work and not get ahead is called ‘liberating’ by Dems.

Who do Dems expect to do the work that they are paying Americans to not do?

Illegals ! HAHA

Talk about delusions of grandeur!

[LMAO]

The rest of the country laughs at these excuses. I wonder if the liberals making them really believe them or are just trying to put a happy face on bad news. I suspect it's both.

If this is the best they can come up with, conservatives should be optimistic. It's further evidence they're losing control of the Obamacare messaging

Liberals think employment is a scheme created by The Man to keep them from spending their days creating bad art and having bad sex. It’s not a surprise that Reid, et al, are trying this lame argument - it will work on the same people who fell for the Lena Dunham ad.

People are experiencing a pay cut (in the form of mandated high-priced donkey-care) to work the same hours. This used to be called exploitation. Now the Dems are pointing accusatory fingers at people moving to part-time hours to avoid the exploitation; or they are attempting to term the lost hours, “Fun-employment.”

Can’t make this nonsense up. Voters can’t possibly be buying this crap, but - public schools ARE pretty bad nowadays.........

Hmmm. So encouragement of sloth is a good thing! No wonder we call them dimmocrats.

“Yesterday, Washington’s official non-partisan bean-counter, the Congressional Budget Office, dropped a bomb. By 2024, says the CBO, Obamacare will reduce the size of the U.S. labor force by 2.5 million full-time-equivalent workers.”

This may be happening in N Californicator land since the first of the year.

My wife and I are both retired citizens. One of the things we do is to try and avoid traffic jams and crowds when we go out for lunch and to do our errands.

So, when we go out to lunch it is usually after the so called lunch hour, 12:45 pm to 1 pm.

Since the first of the year, we have noticed two interesting trends:

1. Even less people than normal in the good restaurants and better so called fast food places for lunch. Problems, finding a parking place rarely occurs now.

2. There is a what appears to be a mini rush hour re heavier traffic from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, like we used to have after 3:30 pm and then @ 5:30 pm plus or minus a half hour. The drivers don’t appear to be going shopping or after school kids. Usually just a driver and no passengers, lining up at the traffic lights. Also, more than usual construction pickups during this time period are in the traffic mix.

My wife knows many friends and others, who have had their work day hours cut to 4 to 6 hours per day. Walmart, other chains, and independent stores are cutting the daily hours for their employees since the first of the year.

A younger relative couple living in an East Bay county are seeing similar traffic patterns re a new mini rush hours. The husband is getting home about 15 to 25 minutes early. He said the end of the work day traffic is a lot lighter, and the going to work traffic is about the same. The wife usually does her shopping and errands from 2 to 3:30 pm before picking up their kids at school. She said that the traffic loads during that time are similar to past years’s after 3:30 pm.

Yesterday on 2/5/14, my wife and I saw the same weird traffic pattern, a mini rush hour from 1:30 to 2:30 pm.

Then, at 5:30 pm we took a dinner for a church couple with one of them recovering from a hospital stay.

The traffic should have been heavy at that time, and it was about the same or less than the earlier 1:30 to 2:30 pm.

Fifteen minutes it was even lighter when we came home.

Language games and “framing” morph effortlessly into Newspeak. “The chocolate ration has been increased from 30 grams to 25, citizens!”

Are enough negative stories coming out in the main stream media to offset the Pravda like praise that the liberals have been trumpeting? Is enough negative truth finally seeping through the facade that people are starting to realize how bad it really is?
