The Dems have figured out that if they can make more Americans part-timers and thus poor, they can guarantee future generations of Americans dependent on government handouts.And we already know how those people vote.
Its those “job creators” we keep hearing about. They all know that they can’t make serious money paying full time wages to full time employees. So they divide up the work in small pieces to keep costs down. We all approve of that by going to their fast food shops and all. The republican talkers act like these are all republicans but there are democrats in that group too. Keep up the good work guys.
The ACA will drive up costs for business, unless they are exempted by President Obama. Most business’ can’t absorb that huge expense and have several options. They could raise their prices, but if their competition is already part time based or goes to part time base employment they can’t do that. They could reduce the number of employees in total and spread the work around. They could also convert full time people to part time (less than 30 hours). Most businesses that I know would rather have the full time people because there is less turnover and a more stable base of employees to make the business run smoother.
Big Corporations are going to make up the additional cost, but most of the job creators (small business) are going to have to determine if it is worth it to stay in business if they have to absorb the additional costs. The only reason this is a Dem/Rep issue is because it was passed with only Dem support. Really it is basic economics. This should be called the “jobs killing bill” or “get me to single payer quicker bill” not ACA. The C stands for Control not Care.
part-time (less than 20 hours a week) would be 9 – 1, 5 days a week, or less.[]9 – 2, 5 days a week, is 25 hours, which is technically full-time under the law.
Employers have been cutting benefits & switching to part-time employees for decades, because it helps their bottom line.I welcome opinions from conservatives on how to reverse that trend.
Hence the whopping 12% of the budget that goes to welfare, or breaking that down farther the rough 3% of the total economy.
By which logic you are stating that the entire democrat base of which is 29.5% of the total population is living large off of 0.1% of the economy per percentile.

Except the conservative idea of how to best help people is to not help them at all.
STASH Premium Member over 10 years ago
The conservative idea is to help people help themselves, not keeping them in welfare bondage.
The current welfare system keeps people in poverty discourages them from helping themselves.

It’s as simple as this.
There is NO business or industry that the politicians (on both sides) tried to “fix” that they didn’t make worse.
I’m wrong?? Please name just one…

Full time work is 40 hours in a 7 day period… the law is not just. It is only legal!!
