So simple even a dim can figure it out.
Brilliant analysis, Senator. And it only took a year and a half for you to figure it out. Gawd, the GOPe is beyond pathetic.
ok so why did she vote for cloture on the bill if she knew it was so damaging? She could have kept if from coming to the Senate floor iirc.
It’s her friggin’ job.
She needs to go and Maine needs someone to represent Maine.
Yet you voted for cloture?!?!
She’s trying to provide some cover for herself...nothing more.
Hey Senator Stupid: how is it we dumb Tea Party hicks were able to figure out what would happen when ObamaCare was implemented, but you brilliant elites couldn’t?
These politicians should be given a speedy trial and hung!
Susan is slow but she finally gets there. :-)
Just food for thought.
Tell that to the French who think 35 hours is full-time.
Maybe Obama is just getting ahead of the curve and further dumbing down the work week to 30 hours so that more people can make less money in a stagnating economy.
Another RINO idiot trying to put a patch a sinking boat.
Sounds like she is trying to put people completely out of business by changing this to a 40 hour rule. At least with 30 hours they can keep operating with part-timers.
GOP had better nip this one in the bud, it will only help dems keep obamacare in effect and destroy businesses.
This 30 hour work week is a socialist idea. To their way of socialist thinking all the central government has to do is edict a 30 hour work week and poof ! Just like magic all manufacurers will have to hire more employees to make the widgets to fill the orders that don’t come because of the increase in per unit costs dumped on them created by the central planners.
It’s just like believing artifically increasing the costs of fuel by restricting new refineries , drilling on Fed lands, and only 50 employees for a new pipeline. So having it be transported by railroad to processing centers who’s owner is a key contributer (Buffett) may increase the costs.
But its benefits will be; We’ll double the minimum wage,be saving the world from climate change, while letting other countrys eliminate US manufacturing jobs that will make US dependent on the central government for support.
I have a better idea defund Obamacare and dump Collins while we’re at it.
So now we’d have 39 hour people with no insurance instead of 29 hour people? I’m not sure this idea has been thought fully through...
To me the problem isn’t the number of hours at which a punishing regulation kicks in, the problem is that there is punishing regulation.
Not allow but force. Businesses were already free to cut hours if they wanted to. Now they have to cut hours to avoid a penalty.
Then the poor smucks will have to pay full price to the exchange then any subsidy will come as a tax credit NEXT YEAR!
We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.
