21. Again, BULLSHIT
Do you read anything before you go around posting about it?
What that CBO report said is that more people will choose not to take SHIT JOBS which will cause them to lose their medicaid based health care and just keep looking.
It said less people will accept GARBAGE JOBS to keep health insurance for their kids since they can now get affordable insurance somewhere else, aka healthcare.gov. blah, blah, blah, 'Rat talking points, blah...
You know, that poor dopey economist Furman, who came out to give the White House spin on why bad news is good news yesterday, said something that stuck in my mind, that none of the people laughing at him have really picked up for comment. He was talking about people who were working 60 or 65 hours a week going down to 35 and so just becoming part-timers. However, it strikes me that any job that can be cut to 35 hours will actually be cut to no more than 29 for obvious Obamacare-based reasons, and no worker that is actually workloaded to 60 hours now is likely to be cut at all, since replacing them in producing that same work output involves taking up the additional overhead for one or two more part-time workers in addition to the keeping the guy whose hours were cut to 20-25. What will actually happen in a lot of businesses is that for every two workers clocking 38-40 hours now as full-timers, there will be three part-time workers clocking 25-29 hours. And one of them will be enjoying welfare of some kind, or several kinds, while the other two desperately look for an additional part-time job that will fit their schedule, make up for the lost pay, and give them enough more money to actually pay the additional cost of their wonderful Obamacare coverage.
