Pelosi: Obamacare repeal would 'destroy' 300k jobs byJoel Gehrke Commentary Staff Writer
House Minority Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., today attacked House Republicans for passing legislation that would allegedly "destroy 2 million jobs," as her office claimed that the Obamacare repeal bill alone would "destroy more than 300,000 jobs," according to her office.
"One year ago the Republican majority was sworn into office," Pelosi said during a press briefing today in which she called for House Republicans to abbreviate their adjournment and return to Congress. "Since that time we have seen no major job agenda put forward. We have seen a budget that would break the Medicare guarantee. This is just in opposition to everything this country needs." She added that House Republicans should be "right here in this Capitol" working on legislation such as the payroll tax cut extension.
An issues statement from Pelosi's leadership office faulted Republicans for "pass[ing] legislation that would destroy nearly two million jobs." House Republicans passed, for instance, a repeal of Obamacare, "thereby destroying 300,000 jobs," in Pelosi's opinion.

That being said, Ms. Belagosie, just have a Coronary already, it would be very Honorable.
This woman is absolutely stupid, in addition to being nuts.
If someone switched that license plate around, "PLS" could actually be an abbreviation for Pelousy!
Then it'd be STFU PeLouSy!
Doesn’t she mean 300 MILLION?

It's had an incredibly significant effect on every aspect of healthcare and related industries. Pharma laid off a ton of workers since 2008, with Merck cutting 13,000 jobs in 2011 alone. From 2008 through the first quarter of 2011 over 161,000 jobs were lost from pharma, and that doesn't begin to address the job losses from medical imaging companies, device companies, and a ton of other industries centered around healthcare.
Pharma and biomedical industries have been one of the biggest success stories in the American economy, and we have led the world in these sectors. So, what do we do? We decimate those sectors with government regulation and uncertainty while propping up union led (bled) companies like GM.
That doesn't even begin to tell the story of what we will lose in the ability to innovate and bring new things from these sectors to the world. Why would anyone get a Ph.D. in science when there aren't going to be any jobs? What do we do when every cash strapped company starts doing all of their R&D overseas - in China? Why spend years and lots of tuition money to be a physician when you are going to wind up a government worker with little self-determinism - and with the government bureaucrats telling you what you can and cannot give your patients?
This witch once commented about how not having to worry about paying for health care would allow people to go out and do ‘creative’ things, like write books and paint pictures. Typical San Francisco liberal take on the world. None of it matters as long as she can be an ‘important’ person.
Hmmm
About one year ago this nutty old woman was claiming obamacare would create 400,000 jobs “almost immediately”

Jeez if the GOP “destroyed 300K jobs” we should still be 100K jobs ahead...

“OK, but we have to repeal the Bill first to find out.”
Hahahaha! That’s great! This should be the response of all Republicans to her ridiculous statement.
Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner should be holding short press briefings refuting the total nonsense that she and H. Reid utter on a regular basis. But, They do nothing and that infuriates me to no end. “Reply To The Lies Guys!!!” But nooo, it’s the Lets get along club in Wash. D.C., and I’m way past the point of being sick of having weak leaders on our side. What is next???
Are these 300k jobs part of the 500k jobs ObamaCare created when Congress had to pass the bill to find out what was in it?
And are those jobs in the 50 States, perhaps in that Asian State of Hawai’i, or maybe in those 7 additional overseas States Mr Obama added while campaigning the first time?
Nancy Pelosi is a target rich environment and Alinsky Tactics should be used as often as possible.
Yes, and every single one of these destroyed jobs is funded by plunder of citizens and the productive sector.
Only 300,000?
Well - it's a start.
