OBAMA’S PLAN TO PAY PEOPLE ENOUGH TO EAT STIRS CONTROVERSY
Washington (The Borowitz Report) President Obama has sparked outrage in Congress and renewed calls for his impeachment by signing a daring Presidential memorandum that would pay workers enough to eat.
The memorandum, which is based on the Presidents view that people should be paid for the hours they actually work, is shaping up as one of the most controversial and incendiary actions of his Presidency.
House Republican leaders held a press conference this morning to warn Obama that, by advancing his agenda of paying people for the work they do, he is playing with political fire.
A Presidential memorandum is a powerful tool and should be used sparingly, said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). It is not a vehicle for this President to enact his pet theories about people earning enough to survive.
