Right, it's not the people that are important, it's the ideas that are important.

There is no "right" to healthcare since the government criminalized unlicensed healthcare.
It is a government privilege that one must get permissions, prescriptions, and licenses before engaging in it.

Furthermore,
Congress passed the law, so it's their fault.

Right to health care? Now it's a right? Did Rush say that last night or something? For years, the RW has told us there is no "right" to health care.

And this thread just bashes professors. "They can't get work anywhere else", etc, etc. yourself!

Before Obamacare these professors had no healthcare and worked part time up to 39 hours.
After Obamacare these professors still have no healthcare and can only work up to 29 hours.

Something is very wrong with this picture.

Safety regulations are a real drag too! Meat plants had to lay off a ton of hard workin' folks when the mean ole government implemented those. Of course, people stopped falling into the meat grinder so often...

You don't know that they were working 39 hours "before". Many adjuncts teach a class or two, period. 40 hours was not the law for benefits to kick in, either. Many employers provided and still provide benefits to part time workers.

Lesson learned is to not elect democrats to begin with.
Yep. Ben Nelson with the "Cornhusker Kickback" and Mary Landreau with the "Louisiana Purchase."

Democrats and liberals are the scum of the earth.

Well they were working over 30 if their hours got slashed.
30-39 was redefined by the IRS to be full time status.

Anyone who worked over 30 as part time had to get their hours slashed to stay "part time".

I used "right" in response to the post where you used the word "right".

And I'm not a RW either.
