#2 "Conservatives say that the CBO numbers prove that the health-care law will be a drag on the economy."

Putting a drag on the economy was one of the main purposes of the ACA. To Democrats, this is not a bug-- it's a feature.

"Moreover, they say, it makes no sense to give people subsidies to encourage them to quit their jobs."

It makes perfect sense to Democrats: the more people who get lured into chronic dependency on government handouts, the more people who will be inclined to vote Democrat to keep the handouts coming.

The Democratic Party used to be "the working-man's party" (or at least, that's how they billed themselves); anymore, they're the party for the NON-working man.

They've become the Parasite Party-- the party for freeloaders, fools, freaks and f*ckups.
