I just don’t understand the cap.
Trump needs a list of detrimental Executive Orders that Obama has used to bypass Congress, and spring them on Hillary at the first Presidential Debates.

Mitch "0bama's Bitch" can't be pried away from Happy Hour and Paul Ryno has his head embedded too far up Hussein's butt to respond.
This rule could have interesting consequences. Those overtime regulations for middle-income employees could mean they get less overtime hours. That might mean more hours for people who are working part time and for lower income employees. It might be a good thing.
If your waiting on a response from Cornyn, bring a chair. He is still fund raising on K Street.
You know he is busy...

My guess would be a yawn.
The idea behind raising the threshold for overtime is to prevent salaried workers from earning less than total minimum wage.
Fast food places (I worked in one once) are notorious for abusing people by calling them ‘managers’ when they don’t actually manage anything or anyone. It’s just a way to evade overtime rules.
For instance: If you’re a ‘manager’ making $16 an hour when the minimum is $15 then if you work a typical 60 hour week on salary then you’ll end up making $10.66 an hour for that week.
That’s the big thing this rule is supposed to address.
I completely oppose the minimum wage but if you’re going to do it then this adjustment to the rule on the threshold makes sense.
George Bush set the last threshold after a minimum wage hike so this is just an administrative thing, not a political football.
No. Remember, the RinoCons (Rino Conservatives) are still in charge. Notice how all the Rinos have suddenly become conservatives?
All federal workplace regulations among the several States are beyond the powers granted the federal government.
This is how rulemaking under various federal regulatory statutes has worked for many, many decades now. Some rules "over-reach" and get struck down. Some get upheld as being a lawful exercise of delegated authority.
Of course, if Congress should decide that it does not like the rule, regardless of whether it is consonant with the Department of Labor's authority under the FLSA, Congress could itself amend the FLSA accordingly. Don't hold you breath on that. Most politicians would prefer to pontificate and bloviate, enrage their (gullible) constituents, collect campaign contributions accordingly ... and then do nothing.
No, because Ryan is 0bama’s enabler.
One radio news program interviewed a local business about the overtime increases. The business owner said they would have to consider cutting hours.
[Who didn’t see that coming? Libs.]
Nope ... can’t wait to see how many jobs this unlawful, un-Constitutional executive decree is going to cost .....
Ask your employees who they are voting for, take actions accordingly.

Who couldn't see this coming as he effectively shortened the work week hours with all his other crap. he seems determined to ruin as many businesses as he can.
