In the past several months, the left and their media minions have pushed back against claims businesses are trimming worker hours to avoid ObamaCare.

During a recent interview, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said employers are "restructuring their workforce to give workers 29 and a half hours so they don't have to provide them healthcare."

Hey, Dick -- ObamaCare was passed and signed into law by Democrats that have been bought and owned by organized labor for years.

The good news is that despite your complaints, the 29.5-hour work week is not going to become the norm in America anytime soon. Instead, the typical American worker will be working 59 hours per week at two 29.5-hour jobs just to pay his bills (including an enormous tax bill to support the massive entitlement programs that organizations like the AFL-CIO have been pushing). And neither employer will be providing any medical insurance, either.

You made your bed, now go sleep in it ... @sshole.

FALSE!

Under Sarah, Rush wouldn't be Heath care Czar, because there would Be No Healthcare Czar.

Just one of the Many Programs Sarah would Ax

The Only Czar would be you, only you and your doctor, no government, no insurance company required. Just You.

He’ll probably sign an EO making anyone who works 1 minute a week is covered.

It won't take long. The Ds need to get Labor on board soon for the 2014elections.
