A contract is a contract.
The administration is yet again posed to override existing agreements between employers and employees.
Liberals can never leave well enough alone, their ideology must to be shoved down the throat of everyone, whether they like it or not.

Fascism.

Ie socialism via govt regulation/rules. When things go good govt takes credit. When things go bad govt blames private business.

Obama does not have the power to do this, he would need Congress to pass a bill that he could sign into law, and for that to happen would be like the Republican-controlled House AND the Republican controlled Senate giving a communist enemy everything he wants...

Wait a minute....

Never mind.

Desperate moves by a desperate administration.

Nothing that they do will stop the economy and the dollar from crashing.

Perhaps they should quit trying, let the chips fall where they may, and let us rebuild a free republic on their ashes.

One way to take up the slack caused when employers have to cut staff or make more employees part time in response to things like Obamacare is to create new job positions which converts other hourly employees into salaried. Give them a fancy new job title, and have them do their old job plus several others while paying them what amounts to sub minimum wage. The solution is not new overtime rules, but scrapping the rules that made the new ones necessary in the first place.

A lot of the things he does end up having no affect at all. It’s like when the Seattle City Council decided to raise minimum pay for city workers to $15.00 an hour. That sounds great to those who don’t realize that there is probably no one on the city payroll who earns less than that already.

Non-exempt workers already qualify for overtime. Exempt workers don’t get overtime, so I’m not sure exactly what he is doing here.

To: BenLurkin; All
Thank you for referencing that article BenLurkin. As usual, note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Regulating overtime wages reasonably falls under the umbrella of intrastate commerce imo.

Corrupt Congress is letting lawless Obama Administration interfere with state sovereignty because Obama’s overtime edict probably helps to win votes from low-information citizens for state sovereignty-ignoring lawmakers.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, including putting a stop to unconstitutional federal interference in state affairs, manupulating intrastate overtime pay in this example.

Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Two 28 hour a week positions are forecast to replace those “40 hour” a week positions.
