Free paid vacation - Yay!!

Rep. Alan Grayson was standing in the middle of Disney World when it hit him: What Americans really need is a week of paid vacation.

So on Thursday, the Florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation Act — legislation that would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law.

The bill would require companies with more than 100 employees to offer a week of paid vacation for both full-time and part-time employees after they’ve put in a year on the job. Three years after the effective date of the law, those same companies would be required to provide two weeks of paid vacation, and companies with 50 or more employees would have to provide one week.

The idea: More vacation will stimulate the economy through fewer sick days, better productivity and happier employees. More here:

Yes - employers will pay for it. IT'S FREE !! Those evil employers will be FORCED to pay for your vacation. And don't worry, they'll never pass those costs along to you in the form of lower wages or higher prices -- because it COSTS NOTHING!!

Good thinking, Democrats. I wonder why the founding fathers never thought of this genius move when they were writing the Constitution. I mean, it's SUCH a no brainer -- why did they leave it out? Lucky for us, Alan Grayson, Dipshitocrat Extraordinaire, is here to save the day and and correct this oversight.
