Let them eat cake

With the White House "show[ing] no inclination to compromise," House and Senate conferees are likely to strip a provision protecting overtime from proposed Labor Department changes that would deny overtime pay to as many as 8 million workers.

Earlier this fall, both the House and Senate voted for the provision to block the proposed overtime rules from enactment. However, the White House has repeatedly threatened to veto any legislation that blocks implementation of its overtime overhaul.

President Bush says in almost every speech in which he discusses tax relief, "when Americans have more take home pay to spend, to save, or invest, the whole economy grows and people are more likely to find a job. So we're returning more money to the people to help them raise their families." But the White House insistence that the overtime rules be allowed to take effect will guarantee that millions of U.S. workers will receive less pay for the same amount of work.
