Prepare For Righty Deception About Obama-The-Job-Killer

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that The Righty Noise Machine will be at eardrum-splitting decibel readings Wednesday - - 'we've got jammed phone lines! - - with claims that a Congressional Budget report out Tuesday said Obamacare would cost the economy 2.3 million jobs.

Oh, the Humanity. There's a worse Obama on the loose in DC than Obama The Kenyan-Socialist-Muslim-Gun Confiscator.


Obama The Job-Killer!


What the report actually said and means is that the options in Obamacare gives people hanging on to a job and blocking the upward path of younger people below the freedom to go part-time, or quit and do something else - - be a stay-at-home parent, start a business, follow a dream.


So there will fewer people working full-time - - by choice. 

"The estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply, rather than from a net drop in businesses' demand for labor," the report said.
On any other day, the Right would be touting a plan that lets people exercise their freedom-of-choice, but when there's an opportunity to yell "Obamacare" even louder than "Benghazi," take it. 

Wednesday, 12:04 a.m. update: After my initial posting, I found that The Washington Post's Fact-Checker did go into some detail (and points out that the CBO did, too) in trying to explain the difference between people losing their jobs and giving up work voluntarily.
