Folks, try watching this ad if you can stomach it’s mind-numbing stupidity. It’s pretty annoying.
First of all, Obamacare is not ‘government run healthcare’. All it really does is regulate our capitalist health care more heavily, and this is necessary due to excesses and unethical policies on the part of health care providers. For instance, barring health care providers from refusing insurance to people with pre-existing conditions and requiring providers to spend at least 85% of customers’ premiums on their health care. (As opposed to offshore bank accounts and personal yachts.)
Secondly, Obama has created energy and manufacturing jobs in every month of his presidency, something neither Bush accomplished. BLS data supports this, so let’s not act as if Obamacare is killing jobs in this country. It’s not. (Sidebar: Giving a shitload of money to banks that move it off shore is killing jobs in this country, but I don’t hear any of these moronic jesus freaks complaining about corporate welfare or usury.)
Yes, Missouri voted to reject Obamacare… but we also just chose Rick Santorum in the Republican primary. We’re not the brightest crayons in the box.
Bottom line: Obamacare does not kill jobs. In fact, it probably saves jobs, as millions more people are insured (and thus, consuming these services) under Obamacare.
