I’m guessing Jean-Claude Curie, the honorable Senator from Massachusetts who was also in Viet Nam.

They were afraid they would have to post the new un-employment numbers.

They are NOT backing down on this.
Just making the announcement.

Look for it to come back in another form.
They will do the same thing through obamacare or through the IRS.

They don’t quit.

They were taking too much heat here before the election. But it, like so many other things, has revealed their heart and soul.

Now, they will wait until after the election because if he is re-elected he’ll be, “much more flexable,” don’t you know? Just like he intends with the Russians, radcial Islam, and so many other anti-America causes, groups, and nations.

If you read the thread from beginning to end you’ll be able to get the whole story about the French neighbor. He REALLY is a neighbor of J. It wasn’t an inside joke.

” One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” - Ayn Rand, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ 1957 “

BUMP

Those kids take jobs from Mexicans who are now leaving the country in record numbers with (loser) Obama’s votes!
You nailed it. That's the reason they wanted this rule, to protect a bedrock voting constituency of the dems... illegal Mexicans.

People were livid about this. I had friends who don’t talk politics posting articles about this on FB. It made no sense to them. It makes perfect sense to me though. Every move Obama makes weakens America.

This effort to make rural life miserably harassed, regulated and unprofitable has to do with “Agenda 21.”

If you have no studied that, please do. The UN has laid out “human free” zones in every Nation in the name of protecting the enviornment. The goal is to make everyone live in cities without cars and humans would not be permitted to enter or use the wildlife zones. They remove most of our nations land from human use.

Progressives in both parties are pushing that agenda and using safety, global warming and overpopulation bs as an excuse. Citizens outside the cities need to understand what is going on because the Feds are really sneaky in what they do.

The U.S. Department of Labor is withdrawing a rule that would have limited the sorts of work that children can do on farms, for now. After the election a more flexible position will be taken.

You bet they’ll come back with it especially if Obozo wins another four years.

When has Obama ever toured a farm? When he was in his teens stealing home grown cannabis on Farmer Bob’s back forty?

Well there’s that AND the Gov’t’s illegal aliens who’ll still do the work that American kids can’t do. I guess.

Was this a “human rights” initiative or a “safety” initiative?

It was probably a "gay men don't like farming" initiative.

“The Amish would have been hit hard by this ruling.”

I’d imagine the Chinese food restaurants would have eventually felt the bite of this as well; they often have their kids working there.
