The headline alone is worth an extra look:

That sums it up nicely.
A tweeter who spotted the story couldn’t decide something:
@HuffPostBiz I honestly don't know if this is a joke or not.

Fox News’ Brit Hume offered an unfortunate answer to the above question:
This is not a joke. This is classic liberal thinking on the economy. http://t.co/dZMUKZoiwh

NOT a joke. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be funny:

Shorter @HuffPostBiz: Obamacare saved the economy from contraction by contracting the workforce and contracting GDP growth instead. Success!
