Obviously, if you guys missed it, a reduction in the supply of labor (due to being able to quit) results in a reduction in the demand for labor.

Oh wait, this means there will be 800,000 jobs available for people that might actually want one. 800,000 people get to leave the crappy jobs they hate, leaving those crappy jobs for new peple to get, and hate.

Nevermind.

Is this you?



They aren't losing jobs, they are quitting jobs. Read the whole link for crying out loud.

Now, this IS the CBO saying the job-killing law will in fact kill jobs.

I'm sure that this is just a mistake.

New analysis is on its way!

It's not a mistake like this was not a mistake. It's partial information presented impartially as the basis of an agenda.

This would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

When the last three candidates standing were McCain , Hilary & Obama , many businesses saw three Libs and liquidated , moved or downsized . Some people opened their business because of Bushes breaks and closed when he did.

You really need to watch the entire discourse in context. Then you'll understand why The Blaze is just manipulating its less-than-curious audience for the sake of propaganda and lies. People try to argue on here that Beck doesn't lie, but this is a great example. In a court of law, the truth is considered "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Beck might stick to the truth on most occasions, but he doesn't include the whole truth, and then his anlayses often go beyond nothing but the truth.

People having the freedom to leave their jobs because they no longer have to work for health insurance is not the same as losing jobs.
