This morning, the Flakes were discussing the new executive order that mandates overtime pay for hourly employees who work over 40 hours a week.

Paul thinks this will actually hurt workers in the long run because companies will automatically reduce the hours for their employees.  And why wouldn't they?  You're not 50% more productive on the job when you're working overtime.

It all goes back to the entitlement generation that thinks they deserve to make a living without working for it.  Just to put it in perspective for you, Paul did some math.  The average unemployment benefit in America is $1600 per month.  The average food stamp benefit is $140 per person, per month.  If you add it all up, anyone on unemployment and receiving food stamps is making $10.40 for doing nothing.

There's a lot of hard working people who don't make that much money.  They'd be better off just staying home and letting the government take care of them.
