Last week's report on Obamacare effect on jobs

The CBO analysis that ObamaCare will result in 2.2 million fewer jobs was based on the theory that people would choose to work less due to substantial disincentives as salaries increased and health care subsidies decreased.

Democrats are trying to say that fewer hours worked is a good thing for those who can do other things with their time.  Seems like you could say the same about food stamps and welfare payments. I'm sure AFDC was justified because single moms needed to money to take care of their kids.  But we established welfare reform in the 1990's (signed by a Democrat).  Food Stamps are now given out to nearly 50 Million people.

Good parents know that there comes a time when you have to stop acceding to every one of your child's demands.  If you never ask the child to take some responsibility, he'll always be dependent upon you.  You can worry and instead continue to keep your child at home as he enters his 20's and 30's, OR you can send him out into the world where he will become an adult and learn to take care of himself.  The Obama Administration is going backwards to the 60's where they seek to have the people dependent upon politicians for their well-being.
