gotta love the left spin...

At first it was for all the uninsured to have health insurance....now it's for people who work to hard, so they don't have to work, yet they can have insurance and just go do what they really want?

Funny how the left always knows what everyone wants....must be like all those junk insurance plans that nobody wanted anyway...because the left said they were junk....

Classic example of moving goal posts. First there wasn't really going to be 2.5 million less FTE jobs. Then it moves to helping people to get out of "job lock." Next it will be we need to tax the rich more to make up for the losses with rich being people who actually pay taxes.

In case no one noticed this is incremental redistribution with a capitalist veneer with the only goal being buying more votes and banishing people into perpetual poverty there by allowing g them to continually be told how they're being oppressed and how everyone else is victimizing them.

People like floridabob don't care about the means (or of they can pay for it or if the country can handle it) they just care about the end result. Controlling people and their lives and in turn society through redistribution.

But it will help close the gap between the poor and middle class.
Maybe Obama should jump on that bandwagon instead as his "good news"

Maybe we can bring back those trendy words in 2008 when everyone thought this was short-lived.

"Staycations" and "Funemployment"

Walmart can sell those backyard pools and BBQ's at "Everyday low prices"

Because you are too stupid to know what's good for you.
And you are too greedy to share your salary with others.

"It takes a village" as they say.

Not according to the Democrats. These are people who are ready to retire and spend more time with family only healthcare costs are holding them back.
So instead of them continuing to work for their healthcare insurance they can now leave the workforce yet continue to get healthcare on my dime.

It seems not.
These low wage workers just don't need to work 1 more hour then necessary because they got subsidized health insurance.

I didn't realize that was the driving force in the low wage labor market today.

And you wonder why the poor never seem to get off welfare programs ?
Now you have the middle class doing it.

It just doesn't pay to work so much when the government is there to take care of you.

Yes, its not 2.5M people losing work, its something like 10M, choosing to work 4 hours less a week..

By cutting back on their income, they get more welfare subsidies from ACA..

Everyone else gets to pay for it.. Dont you feel lucky to be one of them?
