New CBO numbers: Obamacare will cost the US 2.5 million jobs

"Equivalents". Your term, not mine.

That's what this thread is all about, remember? Stay tuned, dumbfuck. There will be plenty more damage reports to come.

And i'm sure you'll spin every last one of them to a point where sane people don't recognize them.

Sometimes it could be due to a lack of authority and power in their personal lives. Going to work everyday having to take shit off 2, 3, and 4 levels of bosses, never having the feeling of any authority except when you go home and log on to the interwebs where a small contingent of people egg them on and in turn those same people feel validated when their support reciprocated.”

You gonna just sit there and take that smack-down, lustylad?

You seem to get it. The first three words you highlighted (dimdoove, stupid, dumbfuck) are equivalent.

Should I continue or do you get the picture, dipshit?

.

I get your lying spinning picture...Now some facts about just wtf the CBO said.
The CBO projects that the act will reduce the supply of labor, not the availability of jobs. There's a big difference. In fact, it suggests that aggregate demand for labor (that is, the number of jobs) will increase, not decrease; but that many workers or would-be workers will be prompted by the ACA to leave the labor force, many of them voluntarily.
As economist Dean Baker points out, this is, in fact, a beneficial effect of the law, and a sign that it will achieve an important goal. It helps "older workers with serious health conditions who are working now because this is the only way to get health insurance. And (one for the family-values crowd) many young mothers who return to work earlier than they would like because they need health insurance. This is a huge plus."...

....As for labor demand, the CBO estimates that on balance, the ACA will increase aggregate demand for goods and services, in part by relieving lower-income people of the burden of health insurance or healthcare expenses, so they can increase their spending on other things. In turn, that will "boost demand for labor," especially in the near term, while the economy remains slack.

Really? No shit?

How many jobs did you "change" while you were covered by an employer's insurance?

Or are you talking about "your company" .... when they leave you they don't get shit! Right?

How about this ..... quit "changing jobs" so friggin much ...

... or does that cause your little head to spin?

Possible Effects on Labor Supply

Through Productivity

In addition to the effects discussed above, the ACA could

shape the labor market or the operations of the health

sector in ways that affect labor productivity. For example,

to the extent that increases in insurance coverage lead to

improved health among workers, labor productivity

could be enhanced. In addition, the ACA could influence

labor productivity indirectly by making it easier for some

employees to obtain health insurance outside the workplace

and thereby prompting those workers to take jobs

that better match their skills, regardless of whether those

jobs offered employment-based insurance.

Obamacare creates the equivalent of 2.3 million jobs.

Suck on that one.

W said it himself, the war was about regime change, not WMD's ... so basically your point is meaningless ..

He said that when? When as in what year? I've heard his whining for years. BT's also.

If the war was about regime change. We won. The regime was changed.

ACA will not win. It's a Lose-Lose.

But I respect you for speaking up for WTF. He certainly needs it when buried in books in the library.

We could have but we didn't....had we , it possible could have been a good thing if and I say if they were planning an attack on our soil. They weren't.

The jury is still out on the ACA....just like you lectured me on the Martin jury.

So all you are doing is venturing a guess on the ACA, just like I did on Martin.

We will see if you are correct in the next ten years.

I don't think they're guessing. I think they're just hoping

This whole argument is the "going Galt" argument all over again.

10 years? Now that is funny. How we going to inform each other of the "jury verdict"? Not on Eccie.
