CBO to the bigotexxx' of the world. SHUT UP! Frequently Asked Questions About CBO’s Estimates of the Labor Market Effects of the Affordable Care Act Last week CBO released its latest report on the outlook for the budget and the economy; we also released a companion report that takes a closer look at the slow recovery of the labor market. The budget and economic projections presented in those reports include an updated analysis of the effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on labor markets, which we explain in Appendix C of the report on the outlook. That analysis has attracted a great deal of attention and raised several questions. In this blog posting, we try to answer a few of the questions we have been asked. Q: Will 2.5 Million People Lose Their Jobs in 2024 Because of the ACA? A: No, we would not describe our estimates in that way. We wrote in the report: “CBO estimates that the ACA will reduce the total number of hours worked, on net, by about 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent during the period from 2017 to 2024, almost entirely because workers will choose to supply less labor.” The reason for the reduction in the supply of labor is that the provisions of the ACA reduce the incentive to work for certain subsets of the population.
mcmark -- glad you confirmed that it would reduce the incentive to work exactly what our economy needs Spoiler said absolutely no one, ever
And the Obamacare fail bus rolls on...another delay for the employer mandate. The dictator Obama keeps making it up as he goes along. http://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...e6b344-9279-11e3-84e1-27626c5ef5fb_story.html White House delays health insurance mandate for medium-sized employers until 2016 By Juliet Eilperin and Amy Goldstein, Updated: Monday, February 10, 7:14 PM E-mail the writers For the second time in a year, the Obama administration is giving certain employers extra time before they must offer health insurance to almost all their full-time workers. Under new rules announced Monday by Treasury Department officials, employers with 50 to 99 workers will be given until 2016 — two years longer than originally envisioned under the Affordable Care Act — before they risk a federal penalty for not complying.
First, your party shuts down government in order to try and FORCE Obama to delay certain provisions of the ACA, then you call it a "fail" when he delays certain provisions. I guess it really is just a pathological opposition to anything Obama is for.
nope. All the democrats had to do to avoid the partial government shut down was agree to the common-sense delay of Obamacare. Now what's Obama doing? Delaying Obamacare. The irony is delicious.
When people sit down, look at the issue and make some reasoned changes to the way the law will be implemented, it is a much better way to go about things than to give in to demands of people who have taken the economy hostage to try and score political points. One is a deliberative, analytical process and the other is giving in to terrorists. Surely, even you should be able to see that. Spoiler ROFL, just kidding, the best part of this is that you can't see that one, simple point at all, you're actually OUTRAGED about this! HILARIOUS!
^^ tap the brakes. Gather yourself. Come back with a clear mind tomorrow. You're making yourself look worse with each additional post.
I heard bigtexxx got new theme music. It sounds strangely familiar. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zjedLeVGcfE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
"giving in to terrorists"? Is that what we're calling people who were right about Obamacare before Obama now? And you know what we do to American terrorists. We drone murder them! But you're not being inflammatory. Not at all. Just well reasoned argumentation all around.
What else would you call a group of people who threaten to collapse the American, and as a result likely the world's, economy if their demands aren't met? That is a terrorist threat if I ever heard one.

Can't have companies blaming Obamacare for their layoffs, that wouldn't look good. Gotta keep em quiet. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...s-must-swear-obamacare-not-factor-in-firings/
If some say Obamacare has let 5 million people lose their coverage, we can say republican governors have kept 5 million people from coverage as well, yes? 1 million of that 6 are Texans. STUDY: GOP Obstruction Is Leaving Nearly 6 Million Americans Without Medicaid Coverage Approximately 5.8 million of the poorest Americans who would have been eligible for Medicaid had their states expanded the program under the Affordable Care Act will either go uninsured or be forced to find other, more expensive means of health coverage, according to a detailed new county-by-county analysis by the Urban Institute.
