The folks who bring us the facts and figures which prove Obama’s every act brings financial and moral ruin, have whipped up their base with headlines touting “Obamacare is killing 2 million jobs!” I am shocked to learn that the Congressional Budget Office report is wrong! To paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of job deaths is premature – and greatly exaggerated .
Those jobs aren’t being killed, they’re being deliberately abandoned…Not for welfare, as some claim, but for a better quality of life – family time, and all of the other buzz words right-wingers claim they value! “Brought to you by People Who Will Never Stop Trying to Kill Obamacare, No Matter What Leap of Logic It Takes.”
Perhaps it’s best if Mark Fiore explains his animated political animation.
With the recent report by the Congressional Budget Office, a portion of which announced that there would be two million fewer jobs, the anti-Obamacare crew went
nuts. It was widely reported in the media that this meant two million job losses, eek! What many people failed to notice, however, was that the CBO report was talking about jobs, or hours at jobs, that people voluntarily stop working.Don’t get me wrong, Obamacare is a cobbled together beast of a program that’s a huge giveaway to the insurance industry, but it’s better than the alternative. Enjoy the cartoon, like, share and stay healthy– and if you cut your work hours because you no longer have to scramble to qualify for health insurance, congratulations!
