Quote:What's really funny is the fact that many of these college graduates who are struggling to find full time employment are victims of this administrations policies.  Companies are not hiring as many FTEs because of the penalties they'd incur under Obamacare if they don't provide adequate benefits.  So, many companies either cut staff, or converted full time employees to part time status to get below the 30 hour rule.  You look at jobs in industries like hospitality and retail, and a lot of companies have made the necessary adjustments to avoid having to provide employees benefits.  They're victims of the policies of the guy they worshiped and voted for. 

 

The 30 hour rule was stupid.  A friend of mine works as a waitress, and she had her hours cut from full time (40 hours/week) to part time (28 hours a week).  It was a completely political move too.  Now she's barely able to pay her way through college (because not everyone is fortunate enough to have parents that pay their tuition and bills) unless she works multiple jobs.  Which she has tried to do (as well as go to college so she can get out of the unskilled jobs)

 

If she didn't have really good friends who set cheap rent, she would probably be homeless right now.  (She didn't vote for Obama, either.  She was only 15 when he was elected the first time around)

 

Nothing was done to protect the workers from businesses finding ways around their laws.  As usual.
