#1 Few Hours of Work Means Less Money Being Made - More Families are Becoming Poorer.

This Obamacare Bullshit Keeps Getting Deeper.

#2 Fewer hours = more employees.

More employees = less unemployment.

Less unemployment = more hope and change.

#3 "There are some costs of doing business where it really does cost you more money to have multiple people on the job"

Maybe in the private sector...

#4 Cool. Cut some government employees, preferably the crappy ones who don't pull their weight anyway. My guess is that we could accomplish the same amount of work with fewer, higher quality employees + reasonable eGovernment and not skip a beat. In this 'sequester age', states and local governments have already shown amazing adaptability, doing more with less money and even competing with other jurisdictions over who can do the best job. I wish the Federal government had the same constraints that state and local government did (inability to run/finance deficits) as a way of focusing Washington's fucking greed. It's hard to see what they're doing as anything other than a giant China-financed Ponzi scheme that keeps us lemmings sucking from the teat. Obamacare is just another teat, this time with chocolate *and* strawberries. Mmmm, tasty.

#5 More part time workers = fewer people with healthcare = crisis = more federal intervention = single payer.

All according to plan.

#6 Less-than-Part-Time wins the cigar!

You can just see our mighty future OWG + NAU, etc. rolling in $$$, just waiting to hand it out to Member-States + their electoral constituents.

Oh wait ...no one in Amerika has any $$$ because it is our righteous Globie duty to hand over 75-100% of our personal income(s) to the Govt. like the Frenchies wanna do.

GOVT = WASHINGTON, DC = NATIONAL-GOVT-VS-GLOBALIST/NAU-ETC-GOVT???

Give our $$$ to the National Fed, Regional Fed, Trans-Regional Fed, Continental Fed or the OWG/Globalist Fed???

Space Fed???
