Neither did I get a refund until last year. It wasn’t the best year.

Why do you think the refunds are being delayed?

All I can say to Obama and Valerie re these very bad and stupid and costly ideas, “Good luck with the new Congress, which if you assholes haven’t heard by now, are controlled by Republicans. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid aren’t worth a paper bag full of dogcrap.

Some people should never be allowed out of their houses.

Loved that song by Mattea.

That blue Olds Cutlass Supreme (I believe a 1970) pictured in that Vid was a great car, I had one for years but with a 350 in it.

My! My! So many perks for government workers!

When does the average working white man start to get some of these goodies. Why only women and government workers?

I guess we know the answer and it may be about buying some votes from these lucky people.

Nah! Couldn’t be........could it?

He is going to turn us into France where the cost of new hires is so great and getting rid of them so difficult, that companies just don’t do much hiring and there is a vast population that either don’t work or only work on a when called basis.

Here they would just circumvent the regulations with temp workers. No benefits at temp agencies. Even after 6 years on the same contract.

I don’t doubt you’re right with the turkey we have in the WH.

Looks like the "free community college" trial balloon didn't work so well. They've already moved on to something else.

That used to be the case but not so much anymore.

We were notified a few months ago by the temporary labor companies we use at the manufacturing company I work for, that because of ACA (Obamacare) regulations, effective January 1 of this year, they would have to provide “affordable” health care insurance to all the workers in their employ who meet the definition of working 30 or more hours. And that would apply whether those average hours worked equaling 30+ hours over the 12 month look back period were worked at our company, other companies or a combination of companies. They also notified us that this would necessitate a price increase, some opting to increase their hourly billing rate and some opting to apply a monthly “ACA surcharge” to our temporary labor invoices. And rather than charging us the additional billing rates or surcharges only for those workers that they had to now cover under ACA, they applied the increase across the board.

http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/blog/2014/09/one-temp-staffing-agencys-take-on-the-affordable.html?page=all

We did a cost/benefit analysis of the costs of continuing to use temporary labor agencies.

The good news is that in some cases we found it would be cheaper for us with the increased billing rates being charged by the temporary agencies to convert and bring the temp worker onto our payroll as a full time (or at least a 30+ hour) employee with full benefits, benefits at my company which are pretty generous. This is something we regularly do anyway after a temp has been working for us for more than 2,000 hours and or a year of continuous service.

The bad news is that we eliminated any and all temporary positions that we could and spread the work out to existing pay rolled staff.

Temporary agencies already have to provide FMLA and we if we hire them, we also have to count their time working for us as a temp through an agency as counting toward their FMLA eligibility

And I suspect that Obama’s paid leave plan will be no less onerous on businesses than California’s which goes into effect in July of this year. Note that it applies to temporary workers. It also applies to any worker working more than 30 days in a year, even if non-consecutively, in California. That would apply to outside sales persons and others who are based in other states and travel to California to perform work.

Hell - the military has paternity leave now - I’m surprised he isn’t insisting that all sperm donors get some free time...
