The Obama administration has repeatedly disregarded Congress and the law. Now it wants you to pay for the consequences.
In July, the Labor Department told defense contractors not to fulfill their statutory obligation to warn employees of layoffs arising from the massive sequestration budget cuts that will kick in – all other things being equal – on January 2nd. The administration’s problem is that, under the law, such notices would be handed out just days before the November election.
Then late last month, the administration actually told those businesses that the federal government, meaning us taxpayers, would pay for any costs or liability the companies face from violating the law. This is simply outrageous. The president is not above the law and he must not be allowed to make us liable for his violating it.
