The Left Spins Job Losses Due to ObamaCare as a Good Thing!

In the wake of yesterday's Congressional Budget Report that ObamaCare will cost 2.5 million jobs over the next ten years, the progressive left is spinning like crazy. The first is that people will be liberated from jobs that they hate but were forced to stay at, lest they lose their health insurance. Worked forty hours a week as a shipping clerk but secretly yearned to be a writer of neo-classical poetry that will make angels weep and puppies spontaneously clone themselves with joy? Well, according to outfits like The New York Times, you're now liberated to chase your dreams, away from the evil shackles of the workaday world. The reason that you're able to do so is that the government will subsidize your health care, so you can choose where you work and how much you work.
The New York Times says, "Thanks to an increase in insurance coverage under the act and the availability of subsidies to help pay the premiums--many workers who felt obliged to stay in a job that provided health benefits would now be able to leave those jobs or choose to work fewer hours than they otherwise would have." Other progressive liberal entities are also saying the same thing. The problem is that they're leaving something out...reality. Government does pay for anything, taxpayers do. I know it's nigh impossible to explain this to a liberal, but government money actually comes from hard working Americans who pay their taxes, not from gossamer trees where unicorns nap under. Using their liberal logic, I should be happy as hell that I'm unemployed at the current time. Funny, I don't feel happy. I actually want to work. Does anybody losing their job over the consequences of ObamaCare feel great that they now have leisure time to pursue sand sculpting or some other inane project? What about the hundreds of employees of Time Inc. who are getting laid off now? Are they happy? Of course, liberals are planning on having government swoop in and provide other aid, such as extending unemployment benefits or other aid programs. All of this is being done to make the average citizen wholly dependent upon the government for their very existence. ObamaCare has always been about control, pure and simple. The media is also spinning the CBO report by twisting the conclusions. They gleefully report that deficit spending will drop over the next few years. Other idiots are saying that the Affordable Care Act will raise wages for workers. They are, naturally enough, ignoring the fact that the true costs are being pushed down the road until after Obama leaves office. Then the true bill of ObamaCare becomes due and it won't be pretty. Deficit spending will go over a trillion dollars, and that's without the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare. The total unfunded liability for those programs range from $70 trillion to $90 trillion. The entire point is that those who are leading us off the cliff will be long gone, and secure in their mansions and investments, when the Pied Piper comes calling for the rest of us. To paraphrase the most interesting man in the world, "Stay broke, my friends."
