Congressman Luis Goehmert (R-Tx) was on Hannity a short time ago. He spent all last night and today reading the entire bill.

One of the most obnoxious things in it (of many and he had a long, long list) is there is a provision for turning the unemployed into a "protected class" like minorities or homosexuals. If you are unemployed and you get turned down for a job, you can sue the potential employer if you think you were discriminated against because you are unemployed.

Trial lawyers everywhere are cheering that but no doubt it will have employers running for the hills (or moving to China... where it is still a somewhat free country). This will ruin all hiring in this country.

And that's just only one of the horrendous features in this bill. It is not only a jobs killer, it is an economy killer. No doubt it is that way on purpose.

So Axeldork insists it's all or nothing? Sure.

This will be the kiss of death for hiring because the last thing we need to do is is make it harder and more risky to interview people who are currently unemployed.

WOW.

It's already hard enough to get a job. What employer would want to put up with this BS.

Employers are already skittish about taking a chance on interviewing new hires and are looking to recruit new people from a pool of currently employed people who are looking at upgrading their job position
