According to the link OP provided, this is what CBO Director Elmendorf said, in part:
A number of new organizations wrongly interpreted the agency's report Wednesday as saying that Obamacare 'killed' 2.5 million jobs. In reality, the agency found Obamacare could shrink the workforce by the equivalent of 2.5 million full-time workers over the next 10 years.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Obamacare could cause a reduction in employment because it makes health care more accessible, allowing Americans to quit jobs they only keep for the health care coverage. That's not killing jobs. It's giving workers the ability to quit jobs they don't want.
I think the man has lost all sense of a proper work ethic.
I believe a man should work a job he doesn't like in order to provide his own health insurance rather than quite his job and have someone else pick up his tab. Besides, quitting a job just because you don't like it is a poor excuse. During my long life I worked many jobs I didn't like and I know many of you did too. Most people don't like their jobs but they keep on trucking because they feel an obligation to provide for themselves and their families.
An alarming 70% of those surveyed in a recent Gallup poll either hate their jobs or are completely disengaged, and not even incentives and extras can extricate them from the working man's blues.

I always thought taxpayer assistance was for those who COULD not provide for themselves, not for those who WOULD not. If a man can provide for himself and doesn't want to, he does not deserve help from the rest of us.

I personally thinks it's really cool for people in their 60s and 70s to be stocking shelves in supermarkets after they've been fired from their accounting, legal, banking or financial careers.
Real cool.
I say that because I see it.
I love poetry....happens to be a poem that I've memorized.
But this thread was for those with a science background......clearly, not you.
Of course, on a message board, honesty isn't a requirement, so you get in under the wire on that count.
And, Lewis Carroll had this line that applies to you:
I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.
well...let's see...hmmm...tap tap tap...oh yeah!
Whiffling!
Burbling!
Galumphing!
And of course perfectly outgrabeling!
Well....you've fulfilled your role: comic relief.
...address the original point?
The fact is that Liberal and Progressive initiatives over the past 50 years, while being intended to benefit those in need - and do that to some extent - end up being taken advantage of by people who don't actually need them, but figure out ways to "game" the System.
And it would be perverse of me NOT to state that the same principles apply to what is commonly called "Corporate Welfare," where businesses and wealthy individuals take advantage of programs, tax deductions, and tax credits that were intended to benefit those in actual need and end up creating "loopholes" and perverse business incentives that no one ever anticipated.
The examples of Liberal/Progressive initiatives that have done more harm than good are too numerous to count, but here are a few examples;
Aid to Families with Dependent Children (since repealed) discouraged marriage, by providing more generous benefits to families headed by a single parent.
"Feel good" grading (or non-grading) in schools; the "self-esteem" movement; the everybody-gets-a-trophy philosophy; "mainstreaming" problem kids with everybody else; allowing teachers to unionize. As a result of these liberal initiatives, a high school education, which actually meant something in 1960, is largely a joke. More than half of all incoming Freshmen in state colleges around the country require remedial courses in either math or English.
Out of time.
My children wene to a school where they build the children's self confidence and it does them very well when they move into secondary school. perhaps you should stick to subjects that you understand. And just to let you know, I have taught primary school, secondary school and college.
1. "I have taught primary school, secondary school and college."
Couldn't keep a job, huh.
2. "...a school where they build the children's self confidence...."
Typical Liberal hogwash.
3. In the light of the essential nature of emotion to the Left, it makes perfect sense that they have created the (highly destructive) self-esteem movement, based on how one feels about oneself. Of course, it is always quite a high number for Leftists, convinced that they are brighter, kinder, finer, more sophisticated, more enlightened, more selfless, and, of course, more intellectual.
Dennis Prager
a. A 1989 study of mathematical skills compared students in eight different countries. American students ranked lowest in mathematical competence and Korean students ranked highest. But the researchers also asked students to rate how good they were at mathematics. The Americans ranked highest in self-judged mathematical ability, while the Koreans ranked lowest .There is no evidence that high self-esteem reliably causes anything.
The Problem with Self-Esteem
4. In fact, feeling good is so central to Liberalism, that it is a higher value than truth. The Left has changed American school textbooks from books attempting to convey history to books attempting to make women and members of select minorities feel good about themselves. Democrat lawmakers pass laws demanding that textbooks be rewritten to include more Democrat Party blocs. California Gay Textbooks: Proposal Would Require LGBT Lessons In Schools
a. 'History should be honest,' Gov. Jerry Brown says in signing the state law, which had sparked hot debate among legislators.
5. "... perhaps you should stick to subjects that you understand."
You wrote that earlier.
I'd never give you the same advice......you'd never be able to post at all.
The OP is certainly an example of destroying the English language.
Earlier I quoted Dennis Prager's thesis that Liberal/Progressive policies destroy the character and social fabric of America .

what "character" and "social fabric" are we talking about?
Character?
Republicans want the rest of the country to be as suspicious and mean as they are.
PC is that modern American who yearns for a time past that never existed, but that imaginary time has great appeal just because it never existed. It can be anything we (PC) can dream. It's must be coded in our DNA for Eden has always been a place we should be and if it wasn't for Eve (replace Eve with your favorite bogeymen) we'd have nirvana. It's a simple worldview, for it simply points to someone else as the fault of whatever is perceived as a problem or a less than perfect solution. Meanwhile the doers, be they the regular Joans and Joes, the saints or crooks, try to work out a world. If one thing is clear, it is that nothing will be achieved by editorials from the likes of Dennis Prager. He simply feeds on a negativity that is widespread in humans, he does nothing concrete for America.
It makes no sense to debate a worldview based on imaginary demons who have removed us from some past Eden. Beliefs are part of personal narratives, I've read enough of PC's negativity to realize the world she imagines is simply part of her character, it helps her deal with the real world, a place too complex.
For the person who lives in the real world, one can look at our history both positively and negativity, but solutions and reasons, and whatever a national character would be, are more complicated than this constant finger pointing of the right in America. They should tell America what they do now, not about some lost Garden.

Oh no, you must be mistaken, she went to Columbia. I was accepted at Columbia for graduate school, but chose to attend a different school. PC is a constant reminder that I made the right decision.

It is only hogwash to a person as ignorant as you on the subject. I see firsthand how self confident my children are, and having taught, I see the importance of beginning secondary school self confident. The hogwash, is your conservative ignorance.

As I have far more class than you, I will certainly not discuss your children.
Be advised: The plural of anecdote is not data.

I must have hit a nerve when the best you can do is give us your view of the English language. That may be a good thing given your constant and repetitive negativity and finger pointing, you remind me sadly of all that is wrong in America today. Mouths that spew words of nonsense against imaginary demons. It's so easy to point fingers, history is full of finger pointers. Smile and look elsewhere you may see something good.
