White House and Pelosi: “Good News! With ObamaCare you can quit your job or work less”

Just when you think these shitbags couldn’t get any worse.

From CNS News.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Obamacare facilitates the type of “liberation” that the “Founders had in mind” because it allows you to quit your job and become a “photographer,”  a “writer,” a “musician”–or “whatever.”

Unfortunately, it’s more likely you’ll be laid off or let go altogether because employers won’t be able to afford the outrageous costs.  Look for more layoffs, cuts in wages, and less production.

“As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation,” Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday.

“This is what our founders had in mind–ever expanding opportunity for people.

“You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever — an artist, you want to be self-employed, if you want to start a business, you want to change jobs, you no longer are prohibited from doing that because you can’t have access to health care, especially because you do not want to put your family at risk,” she said.

Jeezus tapdancing Christ, this old hag is unbelievably batshit stupid. Yeah, it’s the American dream to quit a job you’re lucky to have under Obama’s dicked up economy, start a business, and take the risk of not being able to protect yourself and your family.  What an opportunity! Just what the founders had in mind.
This is the same idiot who didn’t bother to actually read the bill, choosing instead to ram it through Congress to “see what was in it”.

If it’s such a wonderful law, she needs to quit her job and do ‘whatever’ as far away from the political arena as possible.  Neither Pelosi nor the rest of her Dem pals will ever subject themselves to ObamaCare.  The D.C. aristocracy thinks the disastrous side effects of the monstrosity are for the little people.

Jason Furman, the White House economic adviser shows off his brilliance:

FURMAN: …I’m not going sit here and go — give a list of 140 million Americans and tell you how many hours each of them should work, and that’s not what the Affordable Care Act — except maybe you — you know, that’s not what the Affordable Care Act does.

The Affordable Care Act says you can do just what you did before, you know, in this regard, with some puts and takes, but sort in aggregate, you can basically do the same thing you did before, but now, you have this new thing you didn’t used to have.

“This new thing”….like no job and health insurance you can no longer afford because under ObamaCare you can’t keep your old plan and you’re being forced into higher premiums and penalties.

FURMAN: If because of this new thing, you make a different choice than you’re used to, you are by definition not worse off. There’s no way you have a set of stuff, you can make exactly the same choice you made before, and now I give you something else, that you could be — that you’re worse off as a result of that.

What. The. Fuck.? Is that like: “I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Did that assclown even listen to what he said?

PETER ALEXANDER, NBC NEWS: Doesn’t, Jason, that incentivize though, some people to do less, that all of a sudden, there’s an incentive to do less, because if your salary’s less, you’re still getting government subsidies but then benefits?

FURMAN: First of all, for many people, that’s potentially an incentive to do more. There’s an incentive for more entrepreneurship, because they’re not locked into a job, there’s an incentive for hire — for employers to be able to hire more people, because the cost of health care is lower. There’s an incentive to hire workers who are going to be absentees less. So I think there is a whole bunch of puts and takes here that we need to take into account.

Except that the cost of healthcare is already skyrocketing, thanks to the disincentives of ObamaCare.

The Congressional Budget Office just released a report that said ObamaCare will result in a loss of another 2 million workers by 2017.

It’s pathetic the way the Obama regime keeps putting sugar on a shit sandwich.
