This ludicrous idea comes from the leftist logic that predicts that if you bail water out of the front of a leaky boat and pour it into the back, it will keep the boat from sinking.
Carefully ignored is the ffact that you must spend more overhead traininng more people to get the same amount of work done, set up more accounting, pay for more benefits packages etc., all while the employees bring in no more revenue than the reduced number of 40-hour rworkers did.
GREAT idea.
Leftists don't think. They are purely emotional creatures. They "feel." Logic isn't one of their attributes.
Which is only marginally better than the conservative logic of drill another hole in the boat and hope that the water from the first hole will magically go out of the second hole.
Huh? You'll have to explain that one. I know of no conservatives that use any such "logic." Example?

In their mind there is. It's called, "income equality." Or, perhaps it's "share the wealth."
You are forgetting the huge increases in health insurance that each family and individual face due to Obamacare, which further stretches the budget of every man woman and child.
Working hours for most people have already been reduced to under 30, because of Obamacare.
Dividing the available work up among the available work force makes everyone equally miserable, and equally poor. That is the very definition of "income equality."
To read some MSM headlines you'd think that "most" Americans are working in McD's or Wallymart and they all had their hours reduced to 29 and now have to sign up for Obamacare.
Too many people just gobble up the headline and take it as the truth these days.
Obama and Michelle, and all their minions, live in luxury, go golfing, take lavish vacations, etc., while average Americans worry about how to make ends meet working fewer hours and facing ever increasing grocery prices (compare the price of beef to only a few years ago) and other cost increases, such as gasoline, heating oil, gas, electric rates, almost anything you can name (as well as property taxes, for many people).
The majority of Congress is in the 1% club.
Polls rate Congress with a 13% favorability rating.. Despite this, most are re-elected. 13 ran unopposed. What 's up with that.
Fund raising for the party and one's own reelection is the top priority of state and federal politicians and those who aspire to become elected.
As an aside, beef is a comodity. The droughts caused the supply to be less than demand, thus the price of beef has increased. Washington is not responsible for the weather.
I would consider putting off retirement if I had the same job with a 32 hour ww.
