Contessa Brewer: What If GOP Nixed ObamaCare Repeal, Invested In Education of Unemployed Instead?
Reporting that House Republicans will soon be voting to repeal President Obama's “job-killing” health care law, MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer wondered if the GOP should take a different route to save jobs. During her Thursday 12 p.m. EST news hour, she revealed a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimating that a repeal of the health care law will cost $230 billion over the next ten years. Disregarding the GOP arguments for repealing ObamaCare, Brewer wondered aloud about the merits of the $230 billion being invested in re-education of unemployed persons. “What would happen,” Brewer asked Prof. Robert Reich of the University of California at Berkeley, “if you took $230 billion and instead put that toward re-education of the nation's unemployed?”
