OVERTIME OVERHAUL Obama reportedly to issue order expanding eligibility

Do the viewing audience a favor and use the entire quote so they get the context. This way you don't look like a twit.
If anyone looks like a twit it is the person who made a stupid remark buried in irrelevant drivel, much like your post was.
 
All that really isn't helping the little guy that so many claim to be in favor of supporting.
I am curious, what in your opinion would help the little guy?

I stand by my statement that Obama's economic and regulatory policies have hindered the recovery rather than promoted and supported it.
There is at least on e Nobel laureate economist that disagrees with you. Can you raise the ante on that?
 
here is your post; i have emphasized the portion which is a singular question:

now, here was my reply to your question:

now, that you might not have liked my answer does not negate the fact that i did reply to your question

The question I asked clearly used the Word void.

Raising the mínimum wage does not change an employment contract between the employee and the employer.

I was asking how could the federal government turn a salaried employee into an hourly employee.
 
Pretty much, yeah. I don't see any real benefit (to employees, the benefit to the company is obvious) to salaried jobs.

You don't see any benefit to the employee? Really?

If a salaried employee can get the work done early they can leave early or if they want to do it later and want to go see their kid in a school play, how is that not a benefit to the employee?
 
i missed the cite which will prove your assertion
until you provide it i will accept that post as but another unsubstantiated partisan opinion

You missed it, because I can't prove a negative. Feel free to prove he does have such authority.
 
Yet for some crazy reason the economy IS better now than when he started.

The labor participation rate is at a 30 year low and welfare participation is at an all time high. Yeah! Things are just great

Did I say they were? Can you address the point and prove me wrong or you prefer partisan hackery?

Ah! Personal attacks. It's all you people ever have, huh?

clearly the revised minimum wage requirement compels a change in the employer - employee contract
effected by the federal government and without a need for the parties to consent
just like this new XO will do regarding overtime benefits

getting tired of posting a response and then having to explain it, too

That's not the case with most salaried positions. At least not the ones I'm familiar with. Generally you're still required to put in 40 hours and you're required to be there certain hours. The company gets all of the benefits of having salaried employees, and the employee gets none of them.
 
Do you even know what thread you're in? :lamo

There are pages and pages of Executive Orders signed by BHO, and he still has a few years left to sign more! Is this unusual? I hope he finds time to figure out a way to assist employers in providing jobs for the unemployed in this country--there's plenty of work that needs to be done in infrastructure alone, IMO. Plus, I fail to understand how cutting hours for those that currently have jobs is going to help anybody, since they will now have less money to spend. :screwy:

Greetings, apdst. :2wave:
 
Do you even know what thread you're in? :lamo

yep. you questioned and i proved beyond a shadow of a doubt Obama has the authority to execute the executive orders
you lost another argument. get over it

That wasn't my question, but you already knew that. You changed directions because you're SOL on an argument.
 
Stop whining, and get out there to work instead of looking for others to take care of them.
Are you capable of intelligent and independent thought of your own? If so why the caned partisan drivel?
