\"mrmom\"A new report by the Congressional Budget Office<\/a> (CBO) finds that Obamacare will reduce the number of full-time jobs in the U.S. by 2.5 million by 2024. This is actually good news, says White House Press Secretary Jay Carney because it will allow Americans \u201cto spend more time with their families.\u201d And, since they won\u2019t be \u201ctrapped in a job\u201d they will have more \u201copportunity to pursue their dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not kidding; he really said that in a <\/span>White House press release<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the longer run, CBO finds that because of this law, 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. At the beginning of this year, we noted that as part of this new day in health care, Americans would no longer be trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families, and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the Obama administration isn\u2019t done helping to liberate American workers from the drudgery of their jobs. No doubt Mr. Carney would have the American people look at the passage of the president\u2019s second term signature legislation \u2013 an illegal alien amnesty and massive increases in new immigration \u2013 as yet another gift. After all, with 20 to 30 million more immigrant workers who would be eligible to fill jobs in this country, just think about how many Americans, no longer trapped in a job, would be given the precious opportunity to spend more time with their families and pursue their dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, John Boehner and the House Republican leadership aren\u2019t going to miss the opportunity to play Santa Claus too. Just last week they unveiled their \u201c<\/span>Principles on Immigration<\/a>,\u201d which include amnesty and massive immigration increases designed to emancipate American workers from their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gifts just keep coming.<\/span>
