Those naughty businesses. Why won’t they just knuckle under and lose money?
The 29 hr workweek, with no insurance will destroy the Middle Class faster than any other thing they can do.
How does a family pay a mortgage, get health insurance, buy a car, put food on the table and live a middle class life on 29 hours a week....they don’t.
Two of those jobs, 58 hours, you can survive.
So a 29 hour worker qualifies for an Obamacare subsidy right???... What’s the loss here. /s
Its funny the Democrats complain about the disappearing middle class and then they write a law to make that happen altogether.
I guess they never read what was in Obamacare before they voted for it.
It’s what is going to happen. Employers will pull hours just to get under the 0bamacare window of employee hours ....
They get 2 part time jobs (or 4 part time jobs for a couple) and no employer paid health insurance.
This has been going on in Hawaii for a long time where employers have been mandated to contribute to health insurance for employees over 20 hours per week for decades now. All they had to do is look at Hawaii to see exactly what would happen.
they didn’t build that, and they didn’t employ that. so, there’s no way they downsized that or cut those hours back.
They get two or four jobs to make up the hours and the unemployment rate goes down
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
From what I see, young people today lease cars and forego home ownership (since they’re foregoing families); the food stamps will take care of the food issue. Health insurance will be provided by the nanny-state, but it will be unusable due to co-payments and high deductibles.
DOH!
Ahh but with 29 hours they can get all kinds of benefits and bam! the Democrats have just created another welfare class.
Oy Vey...and the ‘wheel turns’.
Maybe....but why should they, when we had a perfectly good country, that with some capitalism and new jobs the economy would have been restored. We can look back historically at every crash, and see that happening...not now.
