I don't think the CBO report makes any such claim.

Progressives have overseen the demise of the middle class and the increasing gulf between the rich and poor.
In the interim, they distance themselves from it by blaming conservatives even though conservatives have not been in power.

Originally posted by whodeyTo you, "progressive" is just some kind of "bad" word to label virtually anybody that in your historically ignorant mind somehow contributed to policies you don't like.

What made him anti-progressive?
Incidentally, blaming the nations problems on Reagan who served decades ago, who is now dead and buried, is just plain absurd.
Buck up and take some accountability!! ðŸ˜
My guess Progressives like yourself are incap ...[text shortened]... n you need to elect another smuck Progresive from the GOP like Reagan to blame your failures on.
Originally posted by no1marauderAccording to CNN, workers are choosing to work less so that they can stay under income caps for Medicaid or other federal subsidies.
😴😴
Giving people the opportunity to work less if they don't want to without being penalized by being left helpless if they get sick is a fine policy. If they choose to make less money, what's your complaint?
Are you also in favor of abolishing Social Security and Medicare? After all, if old people couldn't have any money or health insurance they'd be "encouraged" to continue to work.
Originally posted by quackquackSo be outraged. Those people are working, not getting a check for "doing nothing". If they chose to forego some income because it is advantageous to them to do so, that is their business.

In essence, instead of having people who would otherwise be employed and contributing to society they are forcing others to pay for their benefits without doing their fair contributions. It further causes those who work ...[text shortened]... r just get a check for doing nothing and everyone who contributes to society should be outraged.
Originally posted by no1marauderPeople, as a result of Obamacare, are working less than they otherwise would and having others pay for their benefits. This is a classic example of freeloading. It is not a personal choice as others are forced to pay for their behavior. It is offensive that you continually support policies which put more and more burdens on people who actually work and contribute to society.

You lack such outrage at the hundreds of billions in corporate welfare and tax breaks for the rich.
Originally posted by quackquackThose people DO work. It is not their fault that rather than adopting a single payer system that would have no economic disincentives, the system adopted actually punishes them for working more in some cases. They aren't "freeloaders" but people making a rational economic decision. They work and contribute to society far more than someone cashing a dividend check (who gets a special, lower tax rate for doing nothing of any economic value).

Originally posted by no1marauderYour comments are complete BS. The economic analysis is simple. When people freeload, the rest of society pays for the benefits and everyone else is worse off. To the extent that you argue otherwise you are simply wrong.

So ALL workers should potentially benefit(look up the law of supply and demand some time).

Your bashing of dividends is also BS. People who contribute money get reimbursement. Just like those who 9-5 jobs, people who invest cash in companies make an essential contribution to commerce.
