Happy Thursday folks,
The liberal agenda continues to threaten the American economy.
Today, President Obama will discuss an overtime-pay proposal that human-resource experts and business owners say, “could be especially costly to small employers, many of which are also grappling with recent changes to minimum-wage and sick-pay laws,” according to The Wall Street Journal’s Sarah E. Needleman.
Under the rule, which would apply to around 30 million small businesses, could curtail workers’ hours. One small business owner said he would “trim his 17 managers’ hours to avoid the possibility of having to pay more in overtime wages under the proposed rule.”
The Obama Administration is advocating a liberal agenda that will likely curtail the hours of hard-working Americans. Sound familiar?
It should. The Left wants to continue its pursuit of policies that wreck the work-week.
In February, Robert Pear of The New York Times reported that, “Cities, counties, public schools and community colleges around the country have limited or reduced the work hours of part-time employees to avoid having to provide them with health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.”
And the CBO reported that Obamacare “will reduce American workforce participation by the equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs in 2017.”
Americans want to work hard. They want good jobs and affordable healthcare. The liberal policies of President Obama and his allies continue to let them down. As a result, it should not be surprising that the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll shows that President Obama’s approval rating is only at 41 percent.
