What jackhole from the ivory tower wrote this garbage? Two (2) simple words, “Full Time” require this nonsense? This is what we pay these mental masturbaters to do on our dime.
The lengthy 18-page definition caught some in the business world by surprise. “It’s scary,” said Randy Johnson, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce senior vice president for labor, immigration, and employee benefits. “It’s just a small example of two words under our healthcare law of 2,700-pages,” he said, adding: “It says to me things are awfully complicated.”
via Feds need 18 pages to define ‘full-time’ for Obamacare. And since when is 30 hours a week full time employment?

Gosh 30 hours a week isn’t even considered full time in Europe.

Leave it to Bo and co. to reconfigure the new work week. This is huge and problematic for small business.

The goal all along has been to destroy our economy and thus our nation. That is why Obama was put into place. But they need more time to finish the job. Rest assured that his puppet masters–those who would control the world–will not let him lose the election

NWO.

As bad as 11,000 pages are, we’ve already seen Congress selectively execute the law in whatever way they feel like.

Yes, 15. Whatever the moment call for is immediately called law.

Interesting how the government has to define what full time means. 30 hours a week? Somehow, a crystal ball is showing not too far inthe suture, how many an employer will be hiring either 29 hours a week, or hiring as contract workers, to avoid the heath care debacle.
The government has proved how oout of touch it is with the realities of business in the provate sector.

Ridiculous. I’ll bet that none of these assclowns have ever run a small business.

Why would they even need a definition just for the healthcare bill. The government is a major employer and I know that full time does not mean 30 hours anywhere around the beltway which is filled with government employes of all stripes.

I believe that they are trying to close every possible loophole in order to bag everyone and place them into AHA.
