                               THE 29ERS

  (Mr. McCLINTOCK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, across the country, employers are 
holding office meetings and the announcements are going something like 
this: We love you guys, but here's what we make, and here's what 
ObamaCare will cost us. We can't stay in business with ObamaCare, but 
if we cut everybody back to 29 hours a week, we can avoid the mandate 
and stay in business.
  There's even a name for them now: the 29ers. ObamaCare was sold on 
three claims, all of which were false:
  That it would save people money. In fact, it's producing crippling 
increases in health plans costs.
  That it would be good for the economy. In fact, the CBO estimates it 
will cost the economy a net loss of 800,000 jobs.
  That if you like your plan, you can keep it. Well, many are finding 
not only is that a lie but they can't keep their jobs either.
  Madam Speaker, let's pull the plug on this before it wrecks our 
health care and our jobs.
