- The ACA allows employers to provide their workers with healthcare benefits. As a part time employee to be eligible for the benefits, they must work less than 30 hours a week, and work more than 120 day in one year. How ever by lay only full time employees are to be given benefits by law. Because of this many companies choose to hire more part time workers so they do not have to provide benefits.

I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.
- Elizabeth Brzezinski on 05 Jun 12
  
  This statement by Mr. Grisanti, who once opposed same sex marriage, brings forth very valid points; other than their sexual preferences - same sex couples live their lives and abide by the same laws that heterosexual couples do. Why then should gay couples be seen as different under the eyes of the law?

I recently saw a news special on Panhandling and all their nasty tricks and to me the most shocking thing was that some/most of them aren't even homeless they consider this a "job". However, the worst part is some of them much more than the average fast food workers. So yes I completely agree with the article that panhandling should be illegal!

Dreams of a satisfying retirement take many forms. Some workers, anticipating the years after 65, imagine a golden world without alarm clocks, offering time for golf, tennis, or a stroll around the block. Others harbor wanderlust fantasies: Have passport, will travel. Still others dream of languid days devoted to reading, volunteering, tracing a family tree, or playing with grandchildren.

One obvious solution would be to distribute enough temporary work visas for the farmers to be able to hire the workers they need legally. The positive aspects of the Bracero program should be revived, while eschewing its mistakes.
