My headline is the exact headline of a sarcastic RW Heritage Foundation of Liars article in February. Ironic how the intended sarcasm turns out to be the reality. All-Caps included. Sorry about that.
And as an astounding 800,000 people left the labor force in April, shrinking the labor force and permitting the unemployment rate to go to pre-recession levels, the Republicans lie that people are getting too depressed or something to look for jobs....or Bengazhi.
Combined with near 300,000 new jobs created, that is over a million happy people and a million person drop in unemployment....so, of course, Bengazhi.
They are lying again of course. Because the rate going from near 10% to 6.4% is too depressing to think about....and Bengazhi.
The CBO report predicted exactly this happening, it IS already happening by the hundreds of thousands. Remember how both the RW and the mass media got the report wrong, then when confronted with their error refused to accept it?
Well here it is to bite them in their lazy, lying asses and so of course all they got in response to the one, two punch of Obamacare and the jobs report is to lie some more and....(cough)..... Benghazi.
How WRONG are the Republicans? Link to RW think tank blog in February, a sarcastic post that began as follows.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: OBAMACARE MEANS PEOPLE CAN PURSUE THEIR DREAMS, NOT WORK
KATHERINE ROSARIO | FEBRUARY 4, 2014
"The Obama Administrations latest argument for Obamacare is that some people dont want to work, and Obamacare makes not working easier for those people.
This new spin comes conveniently in the wake of a Congressional Budget Office report demonstrating Obamacare will push about 2 million workers out of the labor market by 2017.
The liberals of the Obama Administration spun the new data as only they can. Politico Pro reports (sub. reqd):
Instead, the Obama administration says, the health care law will allow people to choose to work less.
Under Obamacare, 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, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement."
