Democratic Representative Mark Pocan explains at this congressional budget hearing that people working fewer hours due to Obamacare means more people able to tuck in their kids at night.

Nah. They will be tucking their children into beds in Section 8 housing. They will be safe and warm in their beds until the meth addicts start to shoot at each other.
Pocan came to Madison to attend college and shortly after earning a degree in journalism in 1986, opened up his own small business – a union printing company he continues to own and run today. His active years at UW-Madison in College Democrats led to his election in 1991 to the Dane County Board of Supervisors where he served Madison’s downtown community for three terms. In 1998, he was elected to succeed his long-time friend and ally Tammy Baldwin as the state representative from the 78th District, when she left for Congress.
On Wednesday, Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI-02) argued that the Congressional Budget Office’s projection that Obamacare will incentivize about 2.5 million Americans to give up full-time work means “they might be able to tuck their child in bed at night.”
Pocan said:
“But I would argue, part of what you’re saying is that people in aging populations, more people aren’t participating, that’s part of the statistics. People like my mom who worked until she was 70 at a Taco Bell don’t have to do that. But secondly it could be someone on the lower end who now is working two part-time jobs instead of three part-time jobs. And what that means is instead, they might be able to tuck their child in bed at night, and read a bed-time story, or go to an activity. Which means they’re better off.”
Washington Examiner columnist Byron York called Pocan’s line the “birth of a talking point.”
In response to the CBO report projecting Obamacare’s impact on the labor force, most liberals have taken up some form of Pocan’s argument: that Obamacare is “liberating” millions of Americans from full-time work.
Thanks. My last German class was circa 1975.
and so when the Democrats encouraged women to work and the kids were not tucked in that was an oversight on their behalf?
They’re morphing to the total state with zero responsibility for anyone. Its something that even hard core communists have never attempted to do.
Enough with this emotional crap! I am tired of it. And, if you stopped abortion there’d be even MORE kids to be tucked in at night.....but they don’t count do they congressman?
Yes, tucked in as they go to bed at night hungry and worried about their well being because their parents no longer have a job. Lame!!!
These people are just plain evil. It’s the “Demonic Party”.
I get to tuck my kid in at night and I work 6-4. How can this be?
For next weeks headline, democrat senators will piss on our legs and tell us its raining!
Meals are not a problem. Kids can get three meals a day at school. But kids like homes-preferably heated or cooled depending on the season, and clothes, and shoes, a bike, school supplies, possibly playing on a sports team or some kind of music/dance/art lessons, and somewhere down the road the chance to pursue higher education.
But I guess tucking the kids in at night is more important than providing them with any of those other things.
Or are all the poor schlubs who don't have kids to tuck in at night or whose kids are grown supposed to subsidized those who do have kids, but don't want to work enough to provide for them?
These Rats are despicable. They are perpetuating a myth that savings you might get by becoming Obamacarebots will make up for not having an income.
My last Germen class was in 1967 but drunk posting compels one to weigh in whether one is remotely correct or not.
I’m sure we’ll hear from others.
It's so much better now then when those kids lived in a house and slept in a too large bed. now it's much more comfy and cozy with them being tucked in, in the back seat of a car.
Heck, maybe well should all stop working so we can tuck our kids in and pursue our dreams while being covered by the all wonderful obamacare miracle.
And starving.
so other families will spend less time with their kids working more hours to support these parasites
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was made from dough enriched with butter and eggs, and those ingredients were even more scarce and more costly than dough, making brioche even more out of the reach of the peasants than bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess's obliviousness as to the condition of the people.
Only hungrier. But don’t worry, we’ll fix that next.
That could be called the Woody Allen bill.
