Resurrecting this thread on account of this OP: > [@February jobs report](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/february-jobs-report/810310/1): > > The February jobs report was very good, showing [the economy added 313,000 jobs](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/09/upshot/jobs-report-economy-sweet-spot.html). This is the sort of news that I’m sure is met with delight in the White House (and I suspect with dismay by more than a few Dopers). Just because conservatism has turned into ‘screw the liberals and Dems, even if it screws America too’ doesn’t mean we’re your fucking mirror image, **HD**. We’re quite the reverse of you. We know that Obamacare basically screwed us politically in 2010, 2014, and 2016. And you know what? _It was worth it, because it made America better_, it meant that tens of millions of people could get insured, and tens of millions more didn’t have to worry about their health insurance being rendered meaningless by a ‘pre-existing condition.’ So take that fucking attitude and stick it where the sun don’t shine. For us on the left, it’s not about whether we win or lose, it’s about whether the people of this nation and the world win or lose. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-forget-do-we-have-a-general-hurricaneditka-pit-thread/805952)._
