... as to the "jobs" bills...
".....Carl Riccadonna, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank, said some of the bills could create jobs, but that they would amount to more of an afterthought in terms of achieving broader policy goals.
"They are very narrowly targeted, and it gives the impression that maybe some of this is special interest really pursuing these, not really taking a macro view but a very, very micro focus in what the impact would be," Riccadonna said. For most of the bills in the package, "jobs are a second- or third-order effect, not the main priority...."
Most of them are just trying to reverse prior legislation. They are not serious jobs bills.
How many jobs bills have been passed by (R)s in the House since they took control of the House in Jan 2011? - Yahoo! Answers
As for the ACA, at the least the CBO says it is break-even to a small benefit. Note the letter from the CBO to Boehner letting him know the repeal of ACA would add to the deficit.

Some serious obfuscation and lies contained within your post
If you're going to quote the CBO you might want to quote their other reports which show the costs of Obamacare have DOUBLED since the initial legislation was passed. Oh and we don't get to keep our doctors and current insurance plans either like promised. Obamacare does not have the support of the American People. It needs to be defunded and repealed and hopefully someone outside of the 2 party system illusion will show some leadership and save the country from this nightmare.
We don't have the money for any of this. None of it is sustainable. That's the plan however. Use Obamacare to gather personal and medical information on every citizen. Bankrupt and destroy the current system. Rebuild it with universal HC. Total government control over every aspect of our lives. All of it unconstitutional. But who are we kidding? When was the last time an Obama supporter gave a rat's ^%$ about The Constitution? Never.
