No, Obamacare Isn't Turning America Into A Part-Time Economy
03/07/2014
Obamacare has not yet turned America into a nation of part-time workers, as many of its strongest critics have long said it would.
In fact, the opposite seems to be happening, according to new government numbers published Friday: The number of part-time jobs is actually shrinking, and full-time jobs are being created instead.
Specifically, the number of part-time workers in the U.S. fell in February to about 27.3 million, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. That number is down by about 300,000 since March 2010, when the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, became law.
Meanwhile, the ranks of full-time workers have grown by more than 2 million within the past year to 117.8 million in February. The number of part-time workers fell by about 230,000 over that period.

Senate Blocks Obama Civil Rights Nominee For Representing Death Row Inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal

Senate rejects Obama’s nominee for civil rights chief
Senior counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Debo Adegbile testifies during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 8, 2014 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
03/05/14
[...]
Reid changed his vote to “no” at the last minute in order to preserve the option of bringing Adegbile’s nomination up for a vote again in the future. But the failure of his nomination is a blow to the administration and the Justice Department at a time when civil rights groups see Republicans as actively seeking to curtail Americans’ right to vote [ http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/the-conservative-case-limit-voting ].
Representing murderers hasn’t proved disqualifying before – Republicans confirmed John Roberts as chief justice of the Supreme Court despite his pro-bono work [ http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/obama-pick-targeted-where-others-were-spared ] on behalf of a man recently executed for mass murder. When they choose to, Republicans understand that an attorney shouldn’t be identified with his client’s cause. That would prevent top lawyers from defending unpopular clients, which would erode the quality of justice for those accused of terrible crimes.
None of the senators who cast votes against Adegbile, however, will ever have to worry about not being able to afford a fair shake in court.
“Mr. Adegbile played by the rules,” President Obama said in a statement following the vote. “And now Washington politics have used the rules against him.”

Sen. Harkin (D-Iowa): DOJ Civil Rights Nominee Would Have Been Confirmed If He Was White
03/05/2014
[...]
"We sent a message: We have a double standard. A terrible double standard," Harkin said, pointing out that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts once worked on behalf of a mass murderer.
"Here's the message we sent today," Harkin said. "You young people listen up. If you are a young white person and you go to work for a law firm … and that law firm assigns you to a pro bono case to defend someone who killed eight people in cold blood … my advice from this, what happened today, is you should do that … Because if you do that, who knows? You might wind up to be the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court.
"However, if you are a young black person and you go to work for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund … and you're asked to sign an appeal for someone convicted of murder, what the message said today is, 'Don't do it! Don't do it.' Because you know what? If you do that, in keeping with your legal obligations and your profession, you will be denied by the U.S. Senate from being an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice," Harkin said.
"What about that guy sitting over there -- the chief justice of the Supreme Court -- defended a person who killed eight people?" Harkin asked, pointing toward the nearby court building. "Maybe we should institute a -- an impeachment process? Maybe that's what we ought to do. Maybe my friends on the Republican side did not know this about John Roberts, that he had defended a mass murderer. Maybe that's what we've got to do, bring up an impeachment process. Let's impeach the chief justice because he had fulfilled his legal obligation to defend a murderer. Well, I hope that you see the ridiculousness of that argument."

Paul Ryan’s Audit Of Federal Anti-Poverty Programs Finds Many Are Actually Very Effective

Paul Ryan Tries to Enlist Social Science to Back Up His Poverty Plan, Disaster Ensues
The life of the mind is totally awesome.
By Jonathan Chait
3/5/2014 at 7:45 AM
Paul Ryan’s budget proposals are not mere compilations of proposals, but grand vision statements. The classic versions relied on sweeping ideological pronouncements (i.e., “it is built on the enduring truths from which America’s Founders established this great and exceptional Nation.”) that would be perfectly at home in a Glenn Beck monologue. This year, Ryan has dramatically changed course. He has prefaced his budget with a review of the scholarly literature [ http://budget.house.gov/waronpoverty/ ; http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/War_on_Poverty.pdf ] of the entire range of federal anti-poverty programs. In the place of grandiose, Randian lectures, Ryan ventures outside the world of right-wing pseudo-scholarship and actually attempts to engage with mainstream economic analysis.
This decision is very much to Ryan’s credit. On the other hand, it turns out to have been a gigantic mistake.
Basically everything in Ryan’s report turns out to be wrong. The Fiscal Times [ http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2014/03/04/Economists-Say-Paul-Ryan-Misrepresented-Their-Research ] contacts a number of researchers whom Ryan cites, and they all report that Ryan knows nothing of their work:
One of the study’s authors, Jane Waldfogel, a professor at Columbia University and a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation, said she was surprised when she read the paper, because it seemed to arbitrarily chop off data from two of the most successful years of the war on poverty .…
Chris Wimer, the lead author on the paper and a researcher at Columbia, said Ryan’s conclusion ignores the major expansion of the earned-income tax credit in 1993 and the roaring dotcom economy of the mid-to-late 1990s. “While our data can't disentangle those three things, attributing the decline in poverty after 1993 to the welfare reform of 1996 seems to go beyond what the data show,” Wimer said.
Barbara Wolfe, a professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said Ryan’s paper simply misstates the findings of one of her papers studying the effect of housing assistance on labor outcomes .…
Wolfe also objected to Ryan’s use of another of her studies, which his paper claimed found “Only a minority of families alter their employment decisions in response to Medicaid’s design.”
Wolfe said that the study had been restricted to a small percentage of recipients, and that its findings were limited to the years prior to the welfare reform bill that passed in 1996.
Meanwhile, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has a longer list [ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=4095 ] of the errors, distortions, and omissions in Ryan’s report. Even libertarian economist Tyler Cowen [ http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/03/the-new-paul-ryan-report-on-poverty-and-safety-net-programs.html ] concludes that Ryan’s report presents “only a marginal command of the scholarly literature, and it is a good example of how the conservative movement is still allowing the poverty issue to defeat it and tie it up in knots.”
Ryan is very good at marshaling faux scholarship churned out by ideologues in the service of talking points, and at convincing reporters that he is an actual policy wonk. Unfortunately, he seems to have convinced himself and undertaken the ambitious goal of reconciling his policies with the work of real researchers. That was a bad, bad move.
The bigger dilemma is that Ryan’s budget goals leave him no room to maneuver. He’s committed to balancing the budget within the next decade. But he wants to prop up defense spending, refuses to increase tax revenue, and has promised to maintain Social Security and Medicare benefits for all current retirees. He recently cut a deal with Democrats to ease cuts in the main domestic spending programs. Having taken everything else off the table, the only place left for his cuts is programs that benefit the poor.
And Ryan’s budget absolutely slays the budget for anti-poverty programs – the vast majority [ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3451 ] of his spending cuts come from the minority of federal programs aimed at the poor. That fact has led to his current predicament: Democrats have painted him as a cruel social Darwinist, causing him to become concerned about his image [ https://twitter.com/costareports/statuses/347726211516100609 ] as an “Ayn Rand miser,” causing him to re-brand himself as a poverty wonk, causing him to dive into scholarly literature. But scholarly literature is never going to show that his plans to impose massive cuts to the anti-poverty budget will help poor people.
And yet, without the massive cuts to the anti-poverty budget, Ryan has no plausible way forward. Reconciling the ideological goals of the House Republican caucus with the best findings of social science is fundamentally impossible. That’s why Republican leaders usually dismiss those findings as biased tripe from liberal eggheads.

Bobby Jindal Gets A Much-Needed History Lesson After Eric Holder Insult
By Ryan J. Reilly
Posted: 03/07/2014 3:51 pm EST Updated: 03/07/2014 9:00 pm EST
WASHINGTON -- The Department of Justice's public affairs staffers think Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) could use a history lesson on the civil rights movement.
On Friday, the day after Jindal compared Holder to segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace at the Conservative Political Action Conference [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/06/bobby-jindal-cpac_n_4899151.html ], DOJ employees mailed Jindal a copy of a book by civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.). They inserted a yellow sticky note on page 199, where Lewis writes about Vivian Malone, one of the first African-Americans to integrate the University of Alabama, who walked past Gov. Wallace that day.
Malone is Holder's late sister-in-law, a fact that Holder has mentioned in countless speeches throughout his five years as attorney general, including as recently as Wednesday [ http://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/ag/speeches/2014/ag-speech-140305.html ].
"Worth a read," the note to Jindal says.
"This should help the governor brush up on his history the next time he invokes the Civil Rights Movement," Kevin Lewis, a DOJ spokesman, told The Huffington Post.
In his speech, Jindal said that Holder and DOJ were "trying to stand in the schoolhouse door to prevent minority kids, low-income kids, kids who haven’t had access to a great education, the chance to go to better schools." He was speaking about the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division's legal dispute with Jindal over Louisiana's school voucher program, which DOJ believed may have violated [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/24/school-vouchers_n_3982725.html ] decades-old school desegregation orders.
DOJ initially filed a motion to enjoin the school vouchers program, but later backed off. The agency is now just seeking [ http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304275304579396734224233264 ] detailed information about the racial composition of public schools. The federal judge in the case has also expressed concerns that the school vouchers program is taking away money from public schools.

No, Obamacare Isn't Turning America Into A Part-Time Economy
03/07/2014
Obamacare has not yet turned America into a nation of part-time workers, as many of its strongest critics have long said it would.
In fact, the opposite seems to be happening, according to new government numbers published Friday: The number of part-time jobs is actually shrinking, and full-time jobs are being created instead.
Specifically, the number of part-time workers in the U.S. fell in February to about 27.3 million, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. That number is down by about 300,000 since March 2010, when the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, became law.
Meanwhile, the ranks of full-time workers have grown by more than 2 million within the past year to 117.8 million in February. The number of part-time workers fell by about 230,000 over that period.

Senate Blocks Obama Civil Rights Nominee For Representing Death Row Inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal

Senate rejects Obama’s nominee for civil rights chief
Senior counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Debo Adegbile testifies during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 8, 2014 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
03/05/14
[...]
Reid changed his vote to “no” at the last minute in order to preserve the option of bringing Adegbile’s nomination up for a vote again in the future. But the failure of his nomination is a blow to the administration and the Justice Department at a time when civil rights groups see Republicans as actively seeking to curtail Americans’ right to vote [ http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/the-conservative-case-limit-voting ].
Representing murderers hasn’t proved disqualifying before – Republicans confirmed John Roberts as chief justice of the Supreme Court despite his pro-bono work [ http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/obama-pick-targeted-where-others-were-spared ] on behalf of a man recently executed for mass murder. When they choose to, Republicans understand that an attorney shouldn’t be identified with his client’s cause. That would prevent top lawyers from defending unpopular clients, which would erode the quality of justice for those accused of terrible crimes.
None of the senators who cast votes against Adegbile, however, will ever have to worry about not being able to afford a fair shake in court.
“Mr. Adegbile played by the rules,” President Obama said in a statement following the vote. “And now Washington politics have used the rules against him.”

Sen. Harkin (D-Iowa): DOJ Civil Rights Nominee Would Have Been Confirmed If He Was White
03/05/2014
[...]
"We sent a message: We have a double standard. A terrible double standard," Harkin said, pointing out that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts once worked on behalf of a mass murderer.
"Here's the message we sent today," Harkin said. "You young people listen up. If you are a young white person and you go to work for a law firm … and that law firm assigns you to a pro bono case to defend someone who killed eight people in cold blood … my advice from this, what happened today, is you should do that … Because if you do that, who knows? You might wind up to be the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court.
"However, if you are a young black person and you go to work for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund … and you're asked to sign an appeal for someone convicted of murder, what the message said today is, 'Don't do it! Don't do it.' Because you know what? If you do that, in keeping with your legal obligations and your profession, you will be denied by the U.S. Senate from being an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice," Harkin said.
"What about that guy sitting over there -- the chief justice of the Supreme Court -- defended a person who killed eight people?" Harkin asked, pointing toward the nearby court building. "Maybe we should institute a -- an impeachment process? Maybe that's what we ought to do. Maybe my friends on the Republican side did not know this about John Roberts, that he had defended a mass murderer. Maybe that's what we've got to do, bring up an impeachment process. Let's impeach the chief justice because he had fulfilled his legal obligation to defend a murderer. Well, I hope that you see the ridiculousness of that argument."

Paul Ryan Tries to Enlist Social Science to Back Up His Poverty Plan, Disaster Ensues
The life of the mind is totally awesome.
By Jonathan Chait
3/5/2014 at 7:45 AM
Paul Ryan’s budget proposals are not mere compilations of proposals, but grand vision statements. The classic versions relied on sweeping ideological pronouncements (i.e., “it is built on the enduring truths from which America’s Founders established this great and exceptional Nation.”) that would be perfectly at home in a Glenn Beck monologue. This year, Ryan has dramatically changed course. He has prefaced his budget with a review of the scholarly literature [ http://budget.house.gov/waronpoverty/ ; http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/War_on_Poverty.pdf ] of the entire range of federal anti-poverty programs. In the place of grandiose, Randian lectures, Ryan ventures outside the world of right-wing pseudo-scholarship and actually attempts to engage with mainstream economic analysis.
This decision is very much to Ryan’s credit. On the other hand, it turns out to have been a gigantic mistake.
Basically everything in Ryan’s report turns out to be wrong. The Fiscal Times [ http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2014/03/04/Economists-Say-Paul-Ryan-Misrepresented-Their-Research ] contacts a number of researchers whom Ryan cites, and they all report that Ryan knows nothing of their work:
One of the study’s authors, Jane Waldfogel, a professor at Columbia University and a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation, said she was surprised when she read the paper, because it seemed to arbitrarily chop off data from two of the most successful years of the war on poverty .…
Chris Wimer, the lead author on the paper and a researcher at Columbia, said Ryan’s conclusion ignores the major expansion of the earned-income tax credit in 1993 and the roaring dotcom economy of the mid-to-late 1990s. “While our data can't disentangle those three things, attributing the decline in poverty after 1993 to the welfare reform of 1996 seems to go beyond what the data show,” Wimer said.
Barbara Wolfe, a professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said Ryan’s paper simply misstates the findings of one of her papers studying the effect of housing assistance on labor outcomes .…
Wolfe also objected to Ryan’s use of another of her studies, which his paper claimed found “Only a minority of families alter their employment decisions in response to Medicaid’s design.”
Wolfe said that the study had been restricted to a small percentage of recipients, and that its findings were limited to the years prior to the welfare reform bill that passed in 1996.
Meanwhile, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has a longer list [ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=4095 ] of the errors, distortions, and omissions in Ryan’s report. Even libertarian economist Tyler Cowen [ http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/03/the-new-paul-ryan-report-on-poverty-and-safety-net-programs.html ] concludes that Ryan’s report presents “only a marginal command of the scholarly literature, and it is a good example of how the conservative movement is still allowing the poverty issue to defeat it and tie it up in knots.”
Ryan is very good at marshaling faux scholarship churned out by ideologues in the service of talking points, and at convincing reporters that he is an actual policy wonk. Unfortunately, he seems to have convinced himself and undertaken the ambitious goal of reconciling his policies with the work of real researchers. That was a bad, bad move.
The bigger dilemma is that Ryan’s budget goals leave him no room to maneuver. He’s committed to balancing the budget within the next decade. But he wants to prop up defense spending, refuses to increase tax revenue, and has promised to maintain Social Security and Medicare benefits for all current retirees. He recently cut a deal with Democrats to ease cuts in the main domestic spending programs. Having taken everything else off the table, the only place left for his cuts is programs that benefit the poor.
And Ryan’s budget absolutely slays the budget for anti-poverty programs – the vast majority [ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3451 ] of his spending cuts come from the minority of federal programs aimed at the poor. That fact has led to his current predicament: Democrats have painted him as a cruel social Darwinist, causing him to become concerned about his image [ https://twitter.com/costareports/statuses/347726211516100609 ] as an “Ayn Rand miser,” causing him to re-brand himself as a poverty wonk, causing him to dive into scholarly literature. But scholarly literature is never going to show that his plans to impose massive cuts to the anti-poverty budget will help poor people.
And yet, without the massive cuts to the anti-poverty budget, Ryan has no plausible way forward. Reconciling the ideological goals of the House Republican caucus with the best findings of social science is fundamentally impossible. That’s why Republican leaders usually dismiss those findings as biased tripe from liberal eggheads.

Bobby Jindal Gets A Much-Needed History Lesson After Eric Holder Insult
By Ryan J. Reilly
Posted: 03/07/2014 3:51 pm EST Updated: 03/07/2014 9:00 pm EST
WASHINGTON -- The Department of Justice's public affairs staffers think Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) could use a history lesson on the civil rights movement.
On Friday, the day after Jindal compared Holder to segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace at the Conservative Political Action Conference [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/06/bobby-jindal-cpac_n_4899151.html ], DOJ employees mailed Jindal a copy of a book by civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.). They inserted a yellow sticky note on page 199, where Lewis writes about Vivian Malone, one of the first African-Americans to integrate the University of Alabama, who walked past Gov. Wallace that day.
Malone is Holder's late sister-in-law, a fact that Holder has mentioned in countless speeches throughout his five years as attorney general, including as recently as Wednesday [ http://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/ag/speeches/2014/ag-speech-140305.html ].
"Worth a read," the note to Jindal says.
"This should help the governor brush up on his history the next time he invokes the Civil Rights Movement," Kevin Lewis, a DOJ spokesman, told The Huffington Post.
In his speech, Jindal said that Holder and DOJ were "trying to stand in the schoolhouse door to prevent minority kids, low-income kids, kids who haven’t had access to a great education, the chance to go to better schools." He was speaking about the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division's legal dispute with Jindal over Louisiana's school voucher program, which DOJ believed may have violated [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/24/school-vouchers_n_3982725.html ] decades-old school desegregation orders.
DOJ initially filed a motion to enjoin the school vouchers program, but later backed off. The agency is now just seeking [ http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304275304579396734224233264 ] detailed information about the racial composition of public schools. The federal judge in the case has also expressed concerns that the school vouchers program is taking away money from public schools.
