Regarding "Job Lock" and the Benefits of the ACA

Are people so stupid not to realize this is a concerted effort to cover the collective liberal arse?

hope that is a rhetorical question because you know as well as I do that there are millions upon millions of them

The freedom to pursue non employed personal fulfillment is an unforeseen benefit of ACA.

Obama and his vision is so freakin awesome that even he can't account for all the benefits his wisdom provides us schmucks. .

Why wasn't this issue raised when the CBO projected the loss of 800k jobs, but it's now the official mantra from the left now that the CBO projects some 2.3M jobs lost?

First, I don't think people are as stupid as some of us might think; they are simply ignorant of the information we consider of value. Many of the so called stupid people are masters at finding the path of least resistance and gaming the system.

Second, even though most Americans still identify themselves as being largely conservative, there is obviously a strong liberal progressive movement/trend in our nation that to a large extent is forwarded by most forms of media and education controlled by liberals.

Therein lies your answer. On the one hand you have a significant sector, the 47%, who don't pay income taxes and could care less about the jobs numbers or the economy in general as long as they can maintain their dependency and get their side perks and then you have the rest who for the most part hear one slanted side of the story from biased liberals with an agenda.

Bottom line, conservatism is in decline for several reasons:
1. Conservative social policies are perceived as archaic and anti-freedom.
2. Even though conservative economic principles have proven more sound, liberal control of education and communication media control a narrative that has successfully blamed conservatives for our economic problems through a class/race warfare strategy.
3. While liberals have done a good job of uniting various factions under the Democrat banner, conservatives/Rhinos have ongoing infighting within the Republican Party.
