There is a much better idea, If the members of the mac daddy administration just stopped working against the American people it would save us trillions of dollars.

That statement has got to be the second most stupid thing I have ever heard with the first being listening to anything mac daddy says.

And those who think Obamacare is a good idea will think less work is a good idea. Let’s just kill the economy now.

And the money for Medicaid and subsidies which allow these people all this free time will be provided by the insurance fairy 40% budget deficit created by issuing Baraqqi/Bernanke/Yellin minibucks.

I think Pelosi said something like “if you want to quit your job on the loading dock and become a street mime, you are now free to follow your dreams” or similar rot.

You are missing the main point:

This increases the People's liberty because they no longer HAVE to work.

b. What happens when the tax dollars that pay for all this ‘free’ chit run out?

That is already happening. You've probably heard of myRA; it is the opening salvo to confiscating our retirements, make no mistake. The politicians have had their eye's on that money of ours for decades. Now is the time for them. After they burn through our retirement money a jolly little collapse happens and most of the country starves to death if disease doesn't get them first. That is of course if a juicy world war doesn't break out to speed up the process.

Two things I’ve never understood about Democrats/Liberals/Socialists:

a. Why haven’t they aborted themselves out of existence yet?

Answer: This is why they indoctrinate in the schools, to convince the competition’s kids to follow their lifestyle, as well as why they seek to import replacements (high immigration).

b. What happens when the tax dollars that pay for all this ‘free’ chit run out?

Answer: High inflation, a long Depression, revolution or all three.

“The CBO’s projected reduction in full-time workers, then, “shouldn’t be a significant cause for surprise and it reflects the fact that workers have a new set of options and are making the best choices that they can choose to make for themselves given those options,” the official said.”

Thar comment can be translated into the closer truth the official refused to clarify, which is: “Yes, we understand, we created a program that mandated a bunch of new options that created conditions responsible for 2.5 million more Americans to no longer be actively employed. But now the remaining working people and their employers will help somne of thsoe 2.5 millikon to have health insurance anyway, and that’s a good thing.” More litteral translation: “Yes, we know, we grew the number of dependents in the government plantation society.”

<Now that is some WORLD CLASS spin~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kidding. I’m a pretty smart gal but I had to read that several times and I’m still not sure it makes sense.

I feel like my head is going to explode trying to follow what’s going on these days.

“To put that in context, I have no doubt that if we eliminated Social Security and eliminated Medicare, there would be many 95-year-olds that would choose to work more hours than they’re working today just so they could survive, feed themselves and have health insurance,”

This is the point in the conference call where you have to stick your arm through the phone and bang the “official’s” head on the desk until it splits open!

So...if worker A quits working because he’s receiving a new benefit, don’t workers B, C, and D have to work harder to pay for said benefit? Or is it rich guy E who pays for it? Or is the answer F: we go deeper into debt? Because we know this new freedom from work isn’t the result of cost savings or new efficiences generated by Obamacare.
