Obama and his Obamacare-ilk just keep white-washing this legislative horror story. His Marxist timebomb must be repealed.

[goseminoles]

I thought f/t was 32 hrs? Just saying.

[SamAdams76]

Why that’s twice as many hours as Obama works each week.

[Dan Zachary]

In Obama’s economy, 30 hours is a good full time job.

[ReformationFan]

Before you know it, Obama will call 20 hours per week “full time” work.

[Gene Eric]

It’s actually 20 hrs/wk.

[mirkwood]

I just sent out an “ I told you so” but it really has no good taste. We are all f-ed.

[DTogo]

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

At what point will we reach the caboose of this "long train"??

[reg45]

How will poor people survive working only twenty-nine hours per week at minimum wage?

[Sooth2222]

In other words, employers are exempt until they exceed 49 full time employees, and there is no limit on the number of part time employees working 29 hours a week?

[Graewoulf]

Commie Obama”care” and the dumbing down of the expectation of the American Worker.

Well when you (according to the White House official records) start your day at 10:30 with a 1 hour meeting, followed by lunch then you’re off until the next day...and attend more fund raisers than national security briefings...and don’t hold a cabinet meeting in 8 months....30 hours a week seems like OVERTIME.

[JSDude1]

So now I’m (predicting) that I am going to have my hours cut even further; thanks, Obama!

This one regulation will literally kill (or severly wound) millions of starter-to mid level jobs..

Way to kill the American economy-not help it recover!

[LibLieSlayer]

How would he know? He never has worked a damn job... his days start at 10:30 to 11:30AM and end by 3PM. He is a slacker and a dope head and a fag... and a despot and a muslim and a coward and an evil liar... and much, much more.

[Joshua Marcus]

The new “29 hour work-week.” Hope and less “change.”

[cherry]

I don’t think even teachers are full time yet with this new definition by our brilliant, brilliant prez...

[pepsi_junkie]

The IRS rule is key because companies with more than 50 full-time employees must provide health insurance under Obamacare, or be fined.

This is a back door to single payer. Companies with lots of part timers will just say "oh just fine me" and drop all coverage. Lots of employees will lose the coverage they have as a result. And the government will be there to scoop them up.

Of course Mitt Romney has evolved his position over time from "Repeal Obamacare on day one!" to "Repeal and replace!" to "Keep the good parts" which is his latest position. The trajectory looks like it leads straight to "I really tried but it's so hard to change it...."

[stylin19a]

great..unless somebody sues, part-time will now be 29 hours. The feds will get less tax revenue.
or , Employers just start lay-offs, reducing tax revenue to a greater extent.

Brilliant !
