Talk about naked pandering.
Somehow the left always thinks the way to improve the economy is free stuff and mandates that other give freebies too
All this is just a test for when he drops the big on in Nov 2016
$1T as reparations for slavery.
Why not just go for it all and mandate 365 paid days off each year?
Just want to make us as lazy and inefficient as France and Russia
WHY PAY SOMEONE WHEN THEY”RE NOT PRODUCING ANYTHING FOR YOU?
Oh, never mind. Now I’m a Baby Hater. *SMIRK*
if we all have union work rules, why would we need unions?
Oh, yeah. That's right, we worked heard and planned ahead.
This is to be expected from the vile demon. He’s just getting warmed up.
In other news the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution will be replaced by Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto by executive order.
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.
The price of votes goes up every year.
Do you wonder if oblammo just sits around the Oval Office, stoned, in his pajamas, blowing bubbles, and thinking, “wheeeee...what can I propose today? “
His actions seem to be born of either intoxication, or just plain stupidly.
“The president will also call on Congress to offer six weeks of paid administrative leave. “
These people are insane.
“We just got our behinds handed to us in the last election. The Democrat base is wondering if we are still viable. What does our playbook say we should do?”
“Make more promises you can’t possibly keep.”
“Yeah. We play them for suckers again.”
women in this country have to jeopardize their financial security just to take a few weeks off of work after giving birth,
I guess staying home and RAISING YOUR CHILD isn’t a viable option??
Federal employees already get 10 holidays off, plus 13 days of sick leave, and very generous annual leave (13.5 days for those with over 3 years service; 26 days after you reach 15 years). So most employees are getting AT LEAST 36.5 days a year off, if they use all their sick leave.
Federal employees also get lots of other time away from the office for training and to attend conferences.
Its a cushy life for them. They don’t need anymore time off.
Obama thinks if he puts all this crap in place the GOP would never remove it and if they do the PEOPLE will be so MAD they put the Democrats back in power forever
Guess what? A baby needs as much care at 17 weeks, at 6 months, and at two years. And the ailing mother, until she takes her Last Obama Pill, will still be ailing after those weeks as well. What is the point?
All these programs are abused. Someone with twins - do they get 30 weeks off? Someone with a father who is ailing in another state and they are not in contact - can he kick back on the beach for a few months?
