The GOP has reverted back into their 2009 form, screeching over conspiracy theories.
This time, BENGHAZI is the new Death Panel, since it worked so great for Romney, and of course it is worse than anything Dick Cheney can remember.
And while Republicans distract you with bullshit yesterday they voted along party lines to end overtime pay for workers, giving your boss the new option to pay you in NOT MONEY.
Wouldn't you rather have time INSTEAD OF money? The House GOP bill allows your employer the option of paying you in NOT money, just don't try to pay your rent in NOT money, your landlord will tell you that NOT money isn't a legal currency."I bet no matter who you are as a working parent, if you ask any mom and dad what they could use more of, it’s time," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). "Washington should not stand in the way of any employer voluntarily offering this benefit or any employee choosing more time."italics adds by the diarist
Good luck trying to pay your bills with time instead of money.
So you get to work for NOT money, you spend your time working earning time off, kinda like an Indentured Servant. Queue Romney surrogate Ted Nugent . . .
The Nuge Immigration Plan (NIP) takes five years for even illegal immigrants to become Americans. Until then, they should be treated like indentured servants, meaning that they have to earn their citizenship.Latino outreach!
While the Republican party does what it does best, which is inventing conspiracy theory scandals to terrorize paranoid and uninformed white people into hating everyone the GOP has traditionally hated, while the arrrgle barrgle of wingnut conspiracy theories floats through the GOP the Republicans in the House took time off from teh BENGHAZI!! campaign to impeach Obama/smear Hillary to do the one thing that really matters to Republicans, taking something away from working class people so the rich can get slightly richer. And how will paying workers in NOT money for overtime help the economy? Oh, nevermind that, what is important is the absolute HORROR of calling an act of terror a terrorist attack or not, or something.
Classic shock doctrine. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance than bamboozle them with bullshit. And since Republicans could never sell ending overtime pay without a politically invented & Fox news promoted faux scandal to distract us this is how it passes the House. What's worse, House Republicans who voted to end overtime for workers only worked two days this week. You see, Indentured Servitude isn't just the Ted Nugent Immigration Plan, it's the GOP economic agenda.
