Take yur pill and swallow it, you Bum.
What has been waived can be reinstated.
Sideshow.
The only things Obama will listen to are a full government shutdown and Articles of Impeachment.
Anything less is a waste of time and energy designed by the GOPe to make it look like they are doing something.
Would 252 votes be enough to override a veto? Not familiar enough with that aspect of the US Constitution.
Stupid sidebar crap.
REPEAL OBAMACARE!
[reinstating the union supported standard 40 hour work week] only received 12 Democratic votes.
Living proof that the democrats don’t give a crap about the working class.
It’s a start. How will Obama explain to the people that he had to veto this?
Yet another show vote from these clowns. The bill will be filibustered in the Senate and of by some miracle they clear that hurdle it will be vetoed. Then we’ll be exactly where we are right now.
The title of this piece contradicts the text. Which is it, did the house vote the measure down, or has it passed and is expected to be eventually vetoed by barky?
It would be most helpful for my kids if they would completely dump this Obamacare beast.
They will be happy to have more than 29 hours and not need to keep going through second jobs that aren’t always willing to work with the main job schedule.
My son didn’t sign up for Obamacare, I guess he will find out what happens come tax time.
STOP (forced) TOTALITARIANCARE, CONgre$$. All of it.
Show vote.
Barack Oboehner funded Obamacare through 2015. We aren’t all Grubers.
Well Jim, this is the way I see it.
Work 29 hours and no benefits, or work 39 hours and no benefits.
If I’m digging and a scratching for work, give me the latter.
It took me 15 years to get a job with a decent 401 and health plan and that took some faith.
If the “O” is forced into using his VETO pen over and over, people are going to start to wake up - especially since so many dems are also voting with the pubbies.
It will finally become apparent that we have a tin-pot “diktater” in the WH
More or less thinking out loud here, but this bill strikes me as corporatist. It is highly likely that raising the number to 40 hours will induce employers to move many full time workers from the 40-45 hour range to the 35-39 range. This would absolve the employers’ need to cover a large number of employees’ health insurance costs. These employees are therefore kept “employed”, yet forced onto health care exchanges (bad...for them). Exchanges are the real problem, as much of the exchange concept is based on Medicaid expansion — something that ultimately will be our undoing in its further bloating of government largesse.
This “fix” is really not a fix. It is crony corporatist in that it benefits employers at the expense of the taxpayer (Medicaid expansion). In truth, there are very few helpful “fixes” for this abomination of a law. It is a flawed law at its core.
They should send that prick so many bills that he gets carpal tunnel.
