Obama’s “Career Killer” Overtime Rules Blasted by Businesses

[ClosedCaption]

Possibly so, but I suspect there are enough gop senators who'd support it that it could easily have passed there, but the more reactionary House wouldn't even take it up for a vote. A law would have been better, but there is no compromise anymore.

With respect my friend .. Good politicians fight for a better society. They don't just make excuses.

Obama is not a progressive, never has been, never claimed to be. He's a corporatist and he governs like one.

Obama is a progressive and governs like one. You might want to ask people in coal mining, banking, auto lending, and internet whether Obama is a corporatist or not.

:0) Obama made himself known as a corporatist from the moment he walked into the White House door.

Obama is so far up Big Pharma's ass that he betrayed progressives and reached for a healthcare plan drafted by the uber-conservative Heritage Foundation instead of reaching for a better healthcare solution.

Obama has quite possibly smoked more marijuana than any president in White House history. Don't believe that .. SEE: Choom Gang

Roof hits ..

In spite of his history, he turned his back on youth and marijuana supporters that he courted when he ran for president.

I could go on .. and on .. and on ..

You must be black because even white people aren't this stupid.
Obama did not reach for any health care reform, much less one put out by Heritage. In truth Congressional Democrats drafted the plan, advised by Gruber, while Obama pretty much looked on. The final form of ACA was nothing at all like anything that appeared in an article in Heritage, which was not their proposal but that of one person, who has since pointed out how different they are.
Smoking dope doesn't make someone a corporatist. And given his administration's pounding of various industries and over regulating he is definitely a progressive.

:0) Right-wingers are easy. I beat them up all the time.

Both Romneycare and Obamacare take from the Heritage Foundation plan .. which was actually a plan to divert from what was known as 'Hillarycare.'

If you don't know that, obviously white people are that stupid.

The irony of Republican disapproval of Obamacare
The Democrat's version of health insurance would have been cheaper, simpler and more popular. But we enacted the Republican version. So why are they so upset? Because it an achievement for the Obama administration.

And unless reading comprehension a serious problem for you, I'd suggest that it should be pretty easy to see that I never suggested that smoking weed makes one a corporatist. Betrayal for corporate interests does.

They'll just tell you that NOW its different which means anything Obama does they are against it even if they supported it before.

I absolutely agree with that brother.

It's the lunacy of American politics.

 

[The Rabbi]

The Great and powerful Obama knows better...because he was a Community Organizer, 1/2-term Senator, never ran a business, has no business experience...but he has spoken!

He's not a doctor, he has medical advisors. He's not an army general, he has army generals. He's not a business owner, he has business advisors.

You don't need to be a painter to support the arts, or know good artwork.

You need some foundation for deciding whether your advisors are giving you sound advice or not. Do you automatically do whatever your doctor or lawyer tells you?

He is more than smart enough to figure that out. And my doctors and lawyers usually do what I recommend, that's what they pay me for.

Clearly not, as he contradicts his own advisors sometimes, like on the Iraq withdrawal, or allows them to push disasterous policies. Like this one.

He is the President. In the end that's his call. You elect a man, not a god.

I am sure you said that about BUsh.

 

[The Rabbi]

I actually agree with that.

Obama may be just trying to shore up his legacy, but this should have been proposed and accomplished long ago.

Possibly so, but I suspect there are enough gop senators who'd support it that it could easily have passed there, but the more reactionary House wouldn't even take it up for a vote. A law would have been better, but there is no compromise anymore.

With respect my friend .. Good politicians fight for a better society. They don't just make excuses.

Obama is not a progressive, never has been, never claimed to be. He's a corporatist and he governs like one.

Of course he's a corporatist. Actually, he's more an elitist. But he's never really been a progressive who hangs around actual workers. But, I don't think he's a Johnny Come Lately to this issue. Frankly, it's not really an elitist, corporatist or progressive issue. Everyone agrees wages are too low, we lack sufficient consumer demand, and income inequality is not good. The question is what to do about it.

I think it's more that at this point he has no legislative agenda. There were hopes compromise could be found on corp taxes and various biz issues, including immigration, after the 2012 election, but the gop backed away from earlier positions. So, one by one, he's ticking off items that he can move on without any compromise.

I agree with that statement. Obama is doing what is painless .. while trying to shore up his legacy as some kind of progressive .. that doesn't exist.

Obama has made a career out of hiding behind what republicans supposedly won't let him do .. and often blames republicans for his own corporatist ideas .. like Sequestration.

Obama has been the greatest trickle down economics President this country has ever seen. No one else even comes close. No progressive would continue to provide the richest corporations and the central banks $70 Billion a month despite the fact they have enjoyed record profits.

Another asshole without a clue what "trickle down" means.

In the fast food and retail industries in particular, many workers have missed out on this because they’re deemed “managers” – they work long hours but are paid little more than the people they supervise.

Under the new rules, first released in draft form last summer, the annual salary threshold at which companies can deny overtime pay will be doubled from $23,660 to nearly $47,500.

That means a fast-food manager making $14 an hour – or roughly $30,000 a year – would now be eligible for overtime for those extra hours.

So, what does this REALLY mean? Businesses are there to make $$$$ for their owners and investors. Increase personnel costs and the bottom line goes into the potty. What do you think those in charge will do?

They have 2 choices:

Increase costs – and lose customers

salaried workers will be converted to hourly ones

[mikegriffith1]

Those businesses have a third choice: Just be willing to make slightly less profit in order to pay your managers decent overtime pay.

I'm with Obama on this one. I guess that's because I've seen how my own son was worked like a dog by a restaurant chain because he was a manager and earned over the maximum salary for overtime pay. So he was working about 75 hours a week.

It's not going to kill businesses to pay their managers overtime. I applaud Obama's move.
