Ah yes "propaganda"....... (put out by the Congressional Budget Office):

 

The Impact of Obamacare on Jobs and the
Economy

Last year, America was told the new health care law would help the economy
and create jobs. Today, even the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
confirms that job losses will be inevitable under Obamacare.

OBAMACARE FACTS AND
FIGURES…
- New taxes, penalties, and fees resulting from
the new law will decrease the amount of investment in the economy. This reduced
investment will in turn lead to a decline in productivity, causing the economy
to produce $706 billion less worth of goods and services.
- On
February 10, 2011, CBO
Director Doug Elmendorf testified
before the House Budget Committee that
Obamacare will result in an estimated 800,000 fewer U.S. jobs.

THE SOLUTION…
- Stop new tax
increases
and promote tax cuts that would expand private insurance
coverage and grow the economy
.

Impact on the Economy

You  put out something by the right wing propaganda machine and expect me to put a lot of faith in it.   Sorry.

The 800,000 is mostly composed of those approaching the age when they can be on medicare so they retire early because they no longer have to depend on their employer for health insurance.

They will likely be replaced almost immediately by younger workers.

It represents one half of one per cent of the work force so it isn't a particular big deal one way or the other.

The CBO is hardly right wing, with nobama, the US president from Kenya, in office....

Msmal is either a total idiot or is suffering from paranoia - the CBO a Republican propaganda machine? This person has some very serious problems in the upper story. msmal, fyi upper story mean your head.

The CBO?  Of course not.   But the stuff posted is from The Heritage Foundation which IS part of the right wing propaganda machine.   It selectively gives us snippets to distort the CBO testimony and also includes the Con congressional people's interpretation which makes the CBO analysis appear to be something entirely different.

And you guys eat it up.
