Thirty-six republican senators (that's eighty percent of their caucus) have sponsored legislation that will virtually make it impossible to pass any workplace regulations--zip, zero, none.
They're not even fucking hiding it--Tea Party idiots Tom Coburn and Rand Paul are trying to turn the country back a century with some bizarre ass interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The only purpose of this legislation is to continue the republican fellating of wealthy Americans and corporations.
How does this bill help ordinary Americans? It would drive down wages, worsen workplace conditions, and make worker safety non-existent. It is a sop to corporate America and that is all--it wouldn't create a single job and it certainly wouldn't provide American workers with any decent benefits.
Fortunately, with a Democratic Senate and a Democratic President, this bill has no chance of seeing the light of day. But for all those Hillary haters out there, this is exactly why I'll have no problem supporting her if she runs in 2016.
Because after Obama departs in January 2017, and with our Senate chances looking slim, she may be the best hope we ordinary Americans have of averting the utter fucking economic catastrophe republicans are bound and determined to give us.
Peace,
