The debate over whether, and how much, Obamacare is pushing full-time workers into part-time work continues to rage. Kevin Drum sums up his take:
I'm kind of surprised to hear a lot of liberals agree that the 30-hour rule is bad policy, and even more surprised to hear that it would be easy to repeal or reform.
