“how absurd are things in America today. Try this. Today we will vote on a bill that requires employees who work for a company to actually spend 50 percent of their daily job working for that company. You heard me. Under this legislation, if you work for Wal-Mart, you must spend half your weekly 40 hours, 20 hours a week, actually working for Wal-Mart. Think about that. When I was a kid, my dad made me cut the grass. What would he have done if I cut half of it and then we went fishing? That would have been a lively conversation. What if you were at a restaurant and the waitress served half the people that you are eating with. Or what if a football player on a breakaway punt return crosses the 50-yard line and stops for a coffee break? The idea is ridiculous. But listen to this. The Democrats oppose it. H.R. 3246 is not even a reality check, but a halfway measure to correct a half-baked idea that a half-brained Washington bureaucrat botched all the way.”
