The money comes in handy so she's not going to quit. But she certainly doesn't need to put in a 40 hour work week.
I'm inclined to believe that these polls republicans are using to show employment is dropping is deceptive and doesn't encompass the whole story.
My whole family, all of my friends, brother, etc-- all work in retail, supermarket, departments stores. I have worked in all 3. Nobody getting paid 10 dollars an hour is choosing to cut his own hours for any reason.
Wow. Just wow!!!!!
Cite my source?! I supervised a staff of over 20 of these people before we all got cut.
Try this. Walk into your nearest supermarket. Find the breakroom. Go in and announce to them that you suspect that they all are cutting their own hours because of all the money they have saved on healthcare.
Word up, dude. Walk into a breakroom and ask how many of them signed up for obamacare.
I'd bet my life on it that not one hand goes up. Most of them have free healthcare already through a union. Why would they want to pay? They just all had their hours cut!
Every five minutes in those breakrooms someone uses Obama's name in vain, especially when they look at their new schedules. Every five minutes.
That is reality.
My God, liberals are so dangerous, and so out of touch with the reality the average person has to deal with.
