I thank my friend. Massachusetts added nine-tenths of 1 percent of part-time jobs to the workforce. The country was 0.8. So if this bill is going to force all of these employers to drop their hours from full time to part time, why didn't it happen in Massachusetts? This has been a fact-free debate up until this time. The country deserves better. The House deserves better. We should oppose this absent-minded repeal.
