The only jobs this law is going to create are government clerks who take unemployment and welfare applications.

And those jobs are going to Obamas children

According to KTKA, the cuts at the hospital are due to a projected $3.5 million loss this year. These cuts will result in 10 full-time employees and five part-time employees being laid off permanently and are expected to save the hospital $1 million annually.

“It’s looking into the future," Newman Regional CEO Bob Wright said to KTKA. “Knowing that we need to make a profit, having the advantage of critical access getting us most of the way there but having really to do our part as good stewards of our resources to make sure that we’re profitable.”

GASP! A PROFIT! Those greedy capitalists! Off with their head! /sarc

Nope. Let's assume the part-timers are working 20 hours/week and a 30% vacation + fringe rate. That works out to just over $80k per person fully-burdened on a full-time basis ($1M / 12.5) and just over $60k salary per person ($1M / (12.5 * 1.3). Take-home on that after paying Dem taxes at all levels is probably $45k. Note exactly a stratospheric salary, if you ask me. Seems pretty modest, even for Kansas.
