GOP freaking out over executive orders.

They have a plague of rednecks. That is very bad. They also have that false morality thing going. How is that good? They hate gays, hippies and abortion. How is that good. That sun must have cooked all the brains out of Texas. How about those Sea Hawks? Oh by the way we have a few big corporations in Washington state too so growth does not just happen in red neck states my friend.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion but from what I can see I would put my resume up against yours any day. Yep, this red neck lives in a booming state with low unemployment, low cost of living, high economic growth, and massive expansion. Gays, hippies, and drug addicts need to get off the streets at dark. Abortions are authorized for any liberal.

Love the Seahawks, overachievers lead by a good midwestern QB, They set the standards for people like you to follow. Wonder if you are smart enough to do it

My problems have never been aptitude. It has always been attitude. I was a very good student and was a engineer and a drafter for 10 years until I got blackballed due to pot use. I worked in smaller machine shops and the mental health system for 15 years. I have made great money and crap money. It is expensive to live in western Washington just like Cal. I do think the Hawks have one of the best all around teams ever. They can beat you on D, special teams and O.
 
My family, my bank account, and my quality of life disagrees with you

Bill Gates is liberal and has a fat wallet. Oh by the way why are you bragging about being a capitalist pig?

Why is it so expensive to live in California and Washington? You see there is no such thing as a free lunch and you have to pay for all those so called freebies and benefits you demand.

You need to follow the Seahawk example,. work hard, take risks, and stop whining about what someone else has or makes.

Heard he started Microsoft after dropping out from college. Just goes to show what a great country we live in where risk taking, initiative, drive and hard work pay off.

And he is liberal just like Paul Allen.
 
He can be whatever he wants, he earned it through capitalism. You aren't even close to being in that class.

Did I say I was? You where the one bragging what a capitalist pig you where not me. I was just saying liberal states are rich too. In fact the poorest states of all are all redneck right to work states. It is oil and having several great shipping centers that make Texas rich not their redneck policy. If just being conservative was all it took then why are so many conservative states so freaking poor then?

Didn't describe myself as a capitalist "pig" but I do describe myself as a capitalist. My bet is I give more to charity a year than you make. All I see from you is a whining individual who believes the world owes them something. Too bad you weren't taught better.

Amazing how poorly informed you are

You are the one who is a conservative not me. When you are backward thinking and regressive like conservatives are smart is the last word that comes to mind. Hatred of change is backward thinking and the very definition of conservatives. It does not matter who smart one is if they are walking around looking backwards my friend. I am glad you make good money so you can take care of everybody else. That you and may you tax's go up to support the welfare state. It is the least a capitalist pig can do.

Right to work states are the poorest states. Redneckism does not work.

I am not the one whining and complaining about others. You seem to be such an expert on everyone else yet for some reason 43% of the people continue to support this President and your ideology. Wonder why?

You don't see a problem with Federal Taxes funding state and local social problems? Not surprising, light up, my friend

Interesting yet TX leads the nation in job creation, economic growth, and cost of living. Love seeing people like you defining poor because you have no idea what you are talking about. Seems like hundreds of thousands of people are flocking to this redneck state. Wonder why? Guess they haven't contacted you

All I see a problem with is Aynd Rand capitalism that has made the GOP such a bunch of nasty jerks who will never win outside the bible belt and they know it. That is why they have taken the ball and went home until we elect Hillary.
 
The highlighted statement is not true.

The CBO said that Obamacare DOES have an effect on unemployment...especially from the employer's point of view...but that it can't estimate the full effect at this time.

But we HAVE seen many instances of people losing hours of work, being moved from full to part time and even losing their jobs because of the effects of Obamacare. Do you REALLY need a CBO report to verify that which has already happened?

Page 117-118:

The estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply, rather than from a net drop in businesses’ demand for labor, so it will appear almost entirely as a reduction in labor force participation and in hours worked relative to what would have occurred otherwise rather than as an increase in unemployment (that is, more workers seeking but not finding jobs) or underemployment (such as part-time workers who would prefer to work more hours per week).
What this means is that business will still demand the labor. The implication is that others will fill that demand.

Looks to me like you have smoked one joint too many
 
This is a serious question for Obama supporters. Why after 5 years of sub par performance, Obamacare that was just destroyed by the CBO, high unemployment, stagnant economic growth and about 7 trillion added to the debt do you still support this empty suit and remain in the 43% that continue to buy the rhetoric? What is it about Obama rhetoric that motivates you to continue to support him?

I could ask, why do you support politicians like Mitch McConnell who is truth challenged and caters to the interests of plutocrats who only want to feather their own bed?

But on Obamacare being destroyed, this is from the latest CBO report that you cite:

Big deal, instead of uninsured falling by 14 million it will be only 13 million. That isn't my definition of destroyed.

Why? Because I believe in individual responsibility, hard work, initiative, risk taking, economic growth, job creation, lower taxes. None of that is promoted by liberalism and everyone of those is promoted by conservativism.

CBO says that in 10 years there will be 31 million uninsured people so tell me why we are spending trillions now? CBO says that ACA gives people a choice whether or not to work and serves as a disincentive to work. Is that really the American way and the way you were raised?
 
Page 117-118:

That's all fine...as far as it goes. The CBO did say that...but they said more. You have to read the whole report...not just one small part of it and make conclusions like this one that you made...that I disputed: "Moreover, the CBO said that it would not have any effect on unemployment."

Read the section titled, "Effects of ACA on the Demand for Labor". It says, among other things, the following:

The ACA also will affect employer's demand for workers, mostly over the next few years, both by increasing costs through the employer penalty (which will reduce labor demand) and by boosting overall demand for goods and services (which will increase labor demand.

also, this:

More generally, some employers have expressed doubts about whether and how the provisions of the ACA will unfold.

~

However, those effects are difficult to quantify separately from other developments in the labor market and possible effects on the demand for labor through such channels have not been incorporated into CBO's estimates of the ACA's impact

So...I have shown that your statement is untrue...as I said in that previous post.

Why? A. Because the CBO also says this?

Considering all of the coverage provisions and the other provisions together, CBO and JCT estimated in July 2012 (the most recent comprehensive estimates) that the total effect of the ACA would be to reduce federal deficits.
You're for that, right?

B. Because we should care whether people have access to health care -- unless you are a heartless... never mind.

making more crap up to argue against i see
as if you know how much he makes
could you explain what the hell that has to do with the thread topic:
GOP freaking out over executive orders.
 
Health care is a commodity, just like food, clothing and shelter. :peace

Even though what you say is true and, more importantly, common sense...you won't find a liberal who agrees with you. If they had their way, food, clothing, shelter, a car, a tv, a phone, etc, would all be rights that the government needs to guarantee.
