I demand 8 weeks Maui ever year!!!
meh
I'm the odd one out but I don't like vacations.
They’ll probably propose you pay a tax for not taking a vacation; and make your employer match it for letting you work.
France gets a month paid, too.
Ubama must love this idea. After all, he only wants to make America as great as... France.
Do you have to have a job to be eligible for the vacation pay?
National vacation policy will be Obama’s October surprise.
Headline: Obama announces executive order guaranteeing all Americans four weeks of paid vacation. If citizens get sick during the vacation, they may request more time off.
What I need is a vacation from liberal socialism.
All my stress would go away.
“There’s your American exceptionalism.”
Hence, productivity.
Do these people have any idea how badly a sleep schedule could be ruined by having that much time off in a row?
Heck, I’d be fine with two weeks, not consecutively, one week paid and one week not paid, after I’ve been with a company for a few years.
I don’t see anything wrong with that! All we have to do is make a wish and King 0bama will give it to us! Look how well it has worked out for the Euroweenies!!
Hey! I'm self-employed! If I don't give myself a vacation, should I strike myself? With what? How many times?
Every.... single.... DAY!!! It just gets worse and worse. I am starting to get the feeling that America's socialism in the years to come may actually end up being worse, longer lasting, and more difficult to end than the failed disastrous misadventure that was the former Soviet Union.
The Russians imposed Socialism on themselves in blood and by brute force. That system failed the legitimacy test from the very beginning. The Socialism that America is imposing on itself, is slick and oily. It's a long slow seduction that promises everything for the hedonist, an abandonment of all responsibility, and largess for all -- plus medical and dental.
Is it any wonder that so many people are just giving up and grabbing what they can, while they can? I mean, most of these people can do some math. Number of producers falling, number of parasites rising -- sooner or later the parasites are going to kill the host. They know this, everyone knows this, Obama and Pelosi have to know this... yet why in the name of all that is HOLY are they still trying to sign MORE people onto foodstamps, plus Obamacare, and now mandate a vacation policy that is bound to utterly destroy any number of marginally stable, it not prosperous businesses?
Crazy Eddie! That's what it is. In Larry Niven's "Mote in God's Eye" he talked about the guy.
I'm cutting a bit... "We will call him Crazy Eddie, if you like. He is a... he like me, an idiot savant tinker, sometimes. Always he does the wrong things for excellent reasons. He does the same things over and over, and they always bring disaster, and he never learns."
... "When a city has grown so overlarge and crowded that it is in immediate danger of collapse... when food and clean water flow into the city at a rate just sufficient to feed every mouth, and every hand must work constantly to keep it that way... when all transportation is involved in moving vital supplies, and none is left over to move people out of the city should the need arise... then it is that Crazy Eddie leads the movers of garbage out on strike for better working conditions."
And I thought this was fiction...
National Lampoon’s Obamaland Vacation?
Aunt Edna was ahead of her time! And the dog, too.
This guy is not paying attention,Obama beat him to it,Obama has a National Vacation Policy,99 weeks of paid Vacation,you then get Disability for Life
I was in Germany some time back and talked to several Germans. I said it must be nice to know they have health care, 95% of their wages if they get laid off, and so much vacation time. They responded the government takes most of their wages to pay for these benefits that they really can’t afford to go anywhere or do anything except to go home and watch TV. They’ve gladly would trade all of it for money to be able to do things.
This is what we have to look forward to.
How about NATIONAL INTERNMENT CAMPS for progressive enemies of the Republic... that is a NATIONAL PROGRAM that I can back 100%. Let’s start with the author of this garbage.
LLS
Needless to say, we will paid for our work, so if we take another 10% of work time as vacation, it WILL be 10% cut in national GNP, which will flow down to EVERYONE, somehow - probably through inflation.
By the way, 10% of our GNP was about what we spent on national defense during the Cold War (when we were serious about it). Europe wasn’t even close to that level - so they had a lot of money to play around with there.
I worked in Germany for a month. Being there for a limited time and wanting to put in a lot of hours to get the project done before leaving, I made an offhand comment about wanting to come to the office on the weekend. Was the manager pleased? "No. You cannot do that. I would be arrested."
Not only would productivity be reduced by mandated vacation standards, it would become prohibited beyond a certain level. Remember the standard thinking of the socialist mindset: "that which is not obligated is prohibited."
Sure! Take a vacation! It will just sit there while you produce nothing. Aw heck, we'll even redistribute it, while you don't need it, and redistribute it back to you when you do!They don't realize that wealth stagnates, rots, and evaporates rather fast. If you're not creating or maintaining it, wealth goes away.
Economy is not a persistent zero-sum game.
