Remember when Nancy Pelosi promised ObamaCare would create 4 million jobs?

Dept. Of Corrections: Leading Democrats said ObamaCare would create 4 million jobs by cutting health costs and unleashing entrepreneurs. Now we learn the promise was off by 6.5 million — in the wrong direction.

Here's what Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the top Democratic in the House, had to say about ObamaCare in February 2010:

"It will create 4 million jobs, 400,000 jobs almost immediately — jobs, again, in the health care industry but in the entrepreneurial world as well."

Pelosi was citing a paper released a month earlier by the left-wing Center for American Progress, which claimed the law would lower health care costs, improve business bottom lines, boost wage growth and create up to 400,000 jobs annually over the next 10 years.

Like so many other ObamaCare promises, it turned out to be completely bogus.

Yes. Just waiting any minute for the tens of thousands of “artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs” to flood the economy, now that they've been unshackled through the Obamacare implementation.

Let’s consider Mr. Pelosi, who is supposed to own a vineyard...I believe the man doesn’t want her at home in San Francisco, and thereby keeps her in politics so he can have some peace from the lies, and manic phases of a delusional woman, so he pays for the plastic surgery, and we the people are stuck with her lies, delusions, and narcissistic concepts that she is helping the nation.

===============================================

The Chi/Con artists in the WH musta read The Madoff Playbook. Remember when Sen Mike Enzi (R-Wyo) reported that the Boobamba con artists were planning to "aggregate the numbers" so employers could not evade Boobamba/Care law by having fewer employees?

LOL......"Aggregating The Numbers"----a con phrase if there ever was one. Like something Madoff told his investors as he was setting up tax-evading secret offshore accounts......money-laundering and wire-transferring stolen money into a labyrinth of assorted crooked entities.

==============================================

THE HEALTHCARE CON GAME UP CLOSE E-v-e-r-y lock-stepping Democrat voted for O/Care in a straight party-line vote--- nationalizing 1/6th of the US Economy into a Democrat Cash Cow. ALL the untraceable O/Care money from enrollments, fines, penalties, taxes, fees, and asset confiscation (from Medicaid users) goes to your "reliable, trustworthy government."

"LETS MAKE A DEAL, DEMOCRATS." Vote aye now.
When the zillions start rolling in, you get a piece of the action.

ObamaCare has nothing to do with health it’s all about control 100% greater control to ensue in the next three years.
