White House Reaction to CBO Report on ACA and Jobs



How would you like to have Jay Carney's job?

How do you think Jay can explain this report from the Congressional Budget Office that says that the Affordable Care Act could cost the country some 2.3 million jobs?

Here's what Jay had to say in the statement he read from the White House.

 "Over the longer run, CBO finds that because of this law, individuals will be empowered to make choices about their own lives and livelihoods, like retiring on time rather than working into their elderly years or choosing to spend more time with their families. At the beginning of this year, we noted that as part of this new day in health care, Americans would no longer be trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families, and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams." 


It's not a loss of a job. It's a choice. A lifestyle choice.



"Good news, mein Fuehrer. Now you can pursue your dreams."

  1. It didn't say that at all. John Boehner & Co did, but the CBO report did not.
