ObamaCare expected to lead to loss of nearly 2.3 million US jobs, report says

Liberals do not care how many of them have to be supported by the rest of us.
 
And once again, Fox News lies.

The employers of USA could have avoided all this by treating their employees like human beings instead of low wage slaves. The Republicans could have avoided this by enacting more middle class friendly laws while they were in power. Granted ACA isn't perfect, but it's sure a damned sight better than the consistent nothing offered by conservatives.

Why do you need government to fix your problems? Maybe I just don't agree with your premise. Did you ever think of that?

Btw, low wage slaves is a contradiction of terms.

Seems conservatives think it's appropriate for government to "fix" problems for corporations, banks, and the wealthy, but for reasons of questionable intent conservatives never seem to recognize this fact.

Right because the Republican/conservative policies of the past 30 years have so strengthened the middle class... you folks just keep hoping that we are all too in the now to remember the realities that lead to the current predicaments of the middle class, Obamacare is the least of them.

What lead to it? Btw, it started 43 years ago, not 30. Though I suppose you can say it got noticeable 35 years ago.

EVERY YEAR back to 1982 was better than any of the last 6 for working class people. Of course lazy ****s are enjoying this ride.

Conservatives do not care about actual facts, preferring to be lied to.

See how easy it is to say stupid ****?

Replying to stupid **** with stupid **** to illustrate the stupidity in the original post is quite a common technique. If you don't want people highlighting it when you post stupid ****, stop posting stupid ****.
 
Just for ****s and giggles let's read an excerpt from the actual CBO report regarding this.
The CBO, in its sober fashion, virtually screams that this is not about jobs. (Note the sections in bold face.)

“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).”

No, CBO did not say Obamacare will kill 2 million jobs

Since you are not and employee easy for yyou to say.
 
Is anyone surprised about this latest CBO report? I'm not. Heck, this has been predicted since anyone finally read the stupid law.

But, here's some more from the CBO report:

5 Devastating Obamacare Facts From CBO's Latest Economic Report

1) Obamacare Will Destroy 2.5 Million Jobs By 2024

2) In 2024, There Will Still Be 31 Million People In The U.S. Without Health Insurance

3) Surprise! Millions Of People Who Liked Their Health Plan Will Lose Their Health Plan

4) Obamacare Reduces The Incentive To Find And Keep A Job

5) Your Paycheck Will Be Smaller Thanks To Obamacare

But other than that (and the doc shock, and the premium shock, and the broken website), the law is doing totally awesome, you guys.

I especially like number 2. Now, wasn't that the fundamental reason for passing this crappy law? Or, at least, that's what our liberal liars told us. Now, we find out it's not going to make any difference...except screwing over the American People.

Interesting. I know some people do just work for health insurance, but otherwise, don't really need a job. If they can get insurance without a job, that is a good thing.

Its so confusing what to believe in the media today, and that is sad. There should be more accountability in journalism, but we got this problem because the political parties are basically running the media.

I still don't know how much of the OP is true.

Why rely on the media? You could always read the CBO report for yourself.
