WHat the report said, is that millions of Americans will recognize the incentive of working fewer hours, and thus taking advantage of the Obamacare subdsidy (Paul, do you know who pays for the subsidy?).
So I'm guessing he didn't read the report. Heard about it on Fox news?

Yes, I know what a subsidy is and I know what the report said were the reasons for the decrease in people working.

Paul, what do you really think of a government program that effectively encourages 2.5 million people to voluntarily cut back to less than full time, so that they can receive public assistance? Isn't that a BAD thing? How could that not be considered a bad thing? This is by far Obama's most significant achievement, and the effect is to encourage people to be less productive, and to make people more reliant on the feds?

This is the most important point of your explanation and precisely why Obama wanted so desperately to pass Nationalized Healthcare.

To get more people dependent on the feds, and therefore more people who vote for dems.

Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out. Why are most liberals opposed to something as obvious as securing our borders? Same reason, they want to put more dependent folks on the voting rolls. Paul, I asked if you thought it was good policy to incentivize millions to freely impoverish themselves and get on the public dole? You dodged that, I see. Gee, anyone care to venture a guess why you chose not to answer?
