According to Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, the June jobs report is a big “in your face” to those who predicted Obamacare would kill jobs:
Gain of 288,000 jobs in June, official jobless rate falls to 6.1%. U6 at 12.1% http://t.co/RD3KmgY0c6 So much for #ACA killing jobs, huh?

Convinced that Obamacare doesn’t put a crimp on job growth?
@markos Nope, ACA just kills the incentive to work. Check out that Labor Force Participation Rate there, Senor Kos…

The jobs report showed a record number of Americans were not in the labor force in June.

What’s the definition of “success”?
@markos How many more people do you need to drop out of the job market for it to be a complete success?
