I believe it's a typo. It's not "Saving the American Worker", it's "Serving the American Worker". And IT'S A COOKBOOK! OH, DEAR LORD IT'S A COOKBOOK!

If they think changing the 30 hour threshold will save workers, they'll definitely want to get rid of the 40 hour threshold for overtime. Also cancel all those holidays. Look how much Christmas (the most widely observed) costs in terms of lost productivity!

Adding $18 billion to the deficit? That's only 3/4 of the $24 billion they cost us with their government shutdown over Obamacare. By Republican't math, that's a savings of $6 billion! See, they ARE the party of fiscal responsibility!

I think so far they just fired the old guy. Yet to hire the new <strike>stooge</strike> CBO director.

It was the requirement to use dynamic lying they shoved through on the first day.
