Rep Keith Ellison on Obamacare-Related Job Losses: Americans Work Too Much Anyway
2014-02-10
[Breitbart] During the February 9 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) said the loss of work hours due to Obamacare could actually be a good thing because Americans work too much anyway, compared to people in other industrialized countries.
How does that square with the 48 million Americans on food stamps? Perhaps they are simply eating "too much" as "compared to people in other industrialized developing countries."

#4  Finally a coherent explanation of this administration's priorities! They are anti-job. Job emancipators! At last a common thread. This is the only rational explanation for their policies in general.

#3  Remember when unemployment during a Trunk administration was considered a lack of understanding and sympathy and thus evil done by those who held power? /rhet question

#2  Good idea, Keith. Why don't you cut back your hours in Congress? And your pay, too.

#1  when 48% of your pay goes to federal income taxes, state income taxes, FICA, sales tax, gas tax, communication tax, property taxes...... some have to work to keep up with the GIVERnment programs funding the non-workers.
