>> That's why the trend of job losses sharply reversed immediately after he took office.

It reversed sharply because the jobs that were going to be shed had been shed. All recessions have bottoms; this one was a very sharp downturn -- in anticipation of Obama taking office, and the ensuing upturn should have been sharp. It wasn't, and here we are 7 years later still with major employment problems.

The only rational explanation for a recession lasting this long is the counterproductive policy that made it impractical to hire workers. Even when you needed them.

Liberals have made this mistake before. I would have thought you'd learned something. Nope.

>> Of course we need proof that ACA has cost the economy jobs...and study after study has shown that this is not the case

Hell, CBO and Nancy Pelosi themselves said it. The ACA will make it possible for people to choose not to work. So, they can become artists and musicians.

Of course, what they don't recognize is that when you have people in the economy who aren't productive and suck resources out while they're not productive, it hurts everyone. Because overall productivity is reduced.

I have no interest in reading "studies" which are manipulated to support particular political positions. Honestly, economics is well enough understood that there really isn't any question about it. When you increase the cost of hiring you're going to get less hiring.
