"Allow"? Is King Zero now in charge of all businesses and can tell them how many hours an employee may work?
I don't like the wording of that sentence. I think it displays a subservient mindset for everything Obama. OK, so I'm a paranoid cynic. With King Zero as President, you need to watch every word he says and what the hidden meaning is behind them.
It would not surprise me at all to see the day arrive when employers are fined or otherwise sanctioned for laying people off.
