I thank the gentleman. I am going to close where I began. The President is proposing a 25 percent increase in the minimum wage, but ObamaCare is resulting in as much as a 25 percent decrease in the pay of millions of hourly workers. Because of the 30 hours is full time provision, too many Americans aren't able to work the number of hours they need, aren't able to get the take-home pay they need to support themselves and their families and to go after the dreams that they want to realize. So by passing my bill, one which has bipartisan support and which has enjoyed great leadership by so many of my colleagues, the Save American Workers Act, we can create an America that works simply by restoring the traditional 40-hour workweek. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
