My thought is different. The goal was to mimic France and do it better. The goal is a universal 30 hour week for everybody.

My thought was that they thought people would reduce hours and hire more thereby fudging the employment numbers. Then they could say, "Look, the ACA has helped increase employment. More Americans are working because of "free" healthcare."

yep.....

The follow up currently under way is to inflate wages so thet pay for 30 hours is the same as it was for 40

The wage inflation is absolutely required to induce the general inflation necessary to inflate away the $17 trillion debt.
