Fry cook shifted to part-time work confronts Obama
[i]During a Google Hangout session on Friday, fry cook Darnell Summers told President Obama that his hours were cut due to the Affordable Care Act. “We were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance,” he said. Summers explained that he makes $7.25 an hour and has been on strike four times seeking a wage increase. “We can’t survive, it’s not livin’,” he said.
The president responded by urging states to increase the minimum wage. “I am working to encourage states, governors, mayors, state legislators to raise their own minimum wage,” Obama said. “Obviously, the way to reach millions of people would be for Congress to pass a new federal minimum wage law. So far, at least, we have not seen support from Republicans for such a move.”
The president did not address Summers’s comments about the healthcare law.[/i]

7 RepliesThe Healthcare Law sucks because instead of worrying about the people of the United States, both parties are more interested in hating one another and acting like a collection of 6 year-olds. Yes, a good Healthcare law will likely be expensive... but will Republicans cut defense spending and tax cuts for large corporations? No. Will democrats cut programmes that obviously don't work (or at least regulate them better)? No. Grow the -blam!- up, congress! /rant.
