However, it makes sense for them to begin now. Full-time employees who have their hours cut are, in most states, allowed to quit the job and go on unemployment, which is of course charged against the employer. So, by beginning in January, they have a full year of attrition which will go a long way in eliminating the number of people who would fall under the law. I hope they do. The Occupy Wall Street movement would re emerge. You want class war fare........bring it on.

Jindal: GOP Needs to 'Stop Being the Stupid Party' LOUISIANA GOVERNOR UNLOADS ON OWN PARTY By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Nov 13, 2012 8:04 AM CST (NEWSER) – Tell us how you really feel, Bobby Jindal. The Louisiana governor let loose on his own team in a Politicointerview yesterday, saying that Republicans need to "stop being the stupid party." Jindal says Republicans need to stop sneering at intellectuals, and get some real policy in the place of "bumper-sticker slogans." "We've had enough of this dumbed-down conservatism. We need to stop being simplistic, and … we need to stop insulting the intelligence of voters." He also said the GOP needed to be more populist. "We’ve got to make sure that we are not the party of big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts, big corporate loopholes, big anything," he said. He said he didn't support tax rate increases, but did back closing loopholes, and supported Dodd-Frank and other financial reforms. He said the party should stick by its positions on social issues, but soften its tone, decrying the "offensive, bizarre comments" that hurt the GOP in this election cycle. Jindal is taking the reins of the Republican Governors' Association this week; he was mum on whether he would run for president in 2016.

Romney Had No Votes in Many Urban Precincts CBS News reports "it is now becoming clear just how lopsided President Obama's victory was in some cities: in dozens of urban precincts, Mitt Romney earned literally zero votes." "The Phildadelphia Inquirer reported today that, in 59 precincts in inner-city Philadelphia, the GOP nominee received not a single vote. And according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, nine precincts in Cleveland returned zero Romney votes." "At first blush, it seems almost impossible: how, even in some of the most heavily Democratic strongholds in the country, could a major party's presidential candidate fail to earn even one vote?"
