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

The CBO estimates it will cost taxpayers an average of $5,510 a year to subsidize each Obamacare recipient who qualifies for a subsidy. The subsidy is available for households earning up to $94,700 (family of four). The reason the CBO expects so many people to reduce their work hours is so they can lower their income and collect the subsidy.

So tell me - if I voluntarily choose to work only 6 months a year instead of 12, are you (and CBJ7 and assup and timmyturd and dimdoove) ok with forking over $5,510 a year to subsidize my "better choice"?

LLAD, you will be paying tax on your 6 months of work and you will contribute to your own subsidy. BTW, you just have part of the range. To qualify for an Obamacare policy, the range is income > $24,000 (family of 4 ) and less than $94,700(family of 4).

If your income is < $24,000 (family of 4) you only qualify for your state Medicaid.

Do you think there will be that many people out there that will intentionally stop working at $24,000 to get free Medicaid?

Yes, there will people who retire at 62 instead of at 65 when Medicare kicks in. They can get health insurance from the insurance exchange. They can also put in for their social security at age 62.

Huh? What's your point? I will be working less, earning less, and paying less in taxes, in order to collect a big subsidy (from other taxpayers like yourself) that I would not qualify for working 12 months a year.

So tell me - are you ok with forking over my subsidy (averaging $5,510 a year) so that I can voluntarily enjoy 6 months a year of leisure time?

Do you think you can cherry pick the CBO numbers without me pointing out the fallacy?

Yeah, they do. BLS just reported total employment in Jan. was 145.2 million, of which 26.4 million was part-time.

Nice to see some reasonable, well informed (fact based) posters joining the forum. It makes all the other insanity so much more amusing LOL

Are YOU OK living on 24k a year? I guess that would be a big raise for you, boyo.

Keep pressing the stupid button, dipshit. You'll eventually qualify.

Far from being stupid, I'm just doing what the architects of Obamacare made it attractive for me to do. When my subsidy tapers off nearly as fast as my income goes up, what's the point in working as much?

Back on topic, assup - why don't you answer the question? Why don't you say you're totally cool with paying me a subsidy to work less? And why don't you admit that OBAMACARE IS A TWOFER for libtards like you - it's not just a fucking healthcare plan, it's a huge income redistribution program! Why be coy about it? Do you lack the courage of your libtard convictions? Stand up and be counted, boy.

Hey assup, you are a junior when it comes to wit, taste, intellect, and emotional maturity, among other things. The one category where you rank as senior is retarded posts on hooker boards.

[Yssup Rider]

Naw, Yinr was named IBJunior wees ago. You're well on your way to becoming ECCIE 's biggest asshole. Keep it up Junior.

How could anyone possibly displace you? Didn't you just win the 2014 DOTY (dipshit of the year) award? And before that didn't you earn a Dipshit Emeritus lifetime achievement award or somesuch? What was the vote - 38 to 6? I'd say you got a lock on that baby fer sher.

Every tax is a huge income redistribution program you dumb muther fucker. Jesus. You guys state the obvious and act as if you cured cancer.

Nobody making over 50k plus is going to decide to make only 20k because of government subsidy in health insurance....unless they are tired of sucking dick in the Pittsburg area. You tired of sucking dick lustladyboy?
