Economists agree: Obamacare creates more government dependence
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 2/5/14 | Kyle Wingfield

A new government estimate shows yet another way how Obamacare may ding the economy, and the law's defenders are at pains to explain how this is a feature, not a bug...

It's also important to note the CBO estimate does not include the effects of Obamacare's employer mandate....

...many employers have already cut workers' hours to get under the 50-full-time-employee threshold, beyond which the mandate kicks in. So some reduction of hours -- and not the voluntary kind -- has already taken place.

Looks like pretty decent analysis to me.

The network news machines, eager to help the Clown, haven't reported on this story very much.

To quote the title of an old Dan Fogelberg song...

It's "Part of the Plan"

The news drones still think none of this will touch them.
And if it does, their dear leader will take care of them.

Won’t they be in for a surprise.

I really don’t think you need to be an economist to figure that out. All it takes is a little knowledge of history and an understanding of how communism works.

IT IS DOING EXACTLY AS IT WAS DESIGNED; decimate middle-class jobs and what was once the best health care system in the world so the commie tyrants can take control. In my mind, that’s a criminal act against the people and the perps in DC deserve to be jailed if not executed for all the people who will die from lack of health care as a result of obozo care.

“Oh, but a good, enlightened person like Obama wouldn’t do something like that ON PURPOSE! You’re just a racist for thinking that... as a matter of fact, I reject that it’s even true.”

” - - - this is yet another way Obamacare is making matters worse, not better. - - - “

Cheer up!

Obamacrat RINO Speaker Boehner will soon rescue Obamacare with his latest version of RINOcare.

RINO Boehner is determined to fail, and what better way to do so than to rescue Obamacare, give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens from Mexico, and not appoint a House Special Prosecutor for Obama’s violations of the US Constitutioin?

The “Dynamic Duo” of Obama and Boehner are joined at the hip, and pledged to fail at all costs!

Never underestimate the power of a RINO Speaker of the House to fail, Fail, FAIL !

BTW, anybody on FR know if Obama still has as his “number one priority, jobs, Jobs, JOBS !?”

The only 'press' left after the purge will be the fools who call in the garbage on the New York Times Editorial page...

All the king has to do is sign an EO stating that every company with ONE employee has to provide insurance. He’s making it up as he goes.

But it’s not only Zer0care.

The government only counts reported income to determine whether you qualify for heavily subsidized health care.

Add in all the foodstamps, welfare, earned income credits, zer0phones and all the other goodies, the lazy scum bags have a very decent existence without income. They would all be stupid to get a low paying job to only lose all the bennies!
