The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

This is yet another example of why I have zero confidence that President Hope-a-Dope cares the least little bit about putting people back to work and liberating them from government subsidies. The only people it will put to work are lawyers. This job-killing abomination pre-empts state statutes of limitations (typically 180-300 days following termination, with many exceptions) on suits alleging gender or racial discrimination, and extends them to twenty years!As Steve Forbes remarks: "Can the President please show us how this incentive for costly lawsuit abuse aids future job creation?"
