To even the playing field between the honest employers, and

should be mandatory that every employee punches in and out,

We have to tools to correct this abuse, what we lack is the
will to use these tools to do so...

Thank god we do not have the will to impose more regulations on
businesses.
Under your plan every employee would have to punch a time clock. In
my entire working life , I never had to punch a time clock. And
yet I did work a reasonable amount of overtime.

Would George also support monitoring and restrictions on excessive
domestic energy consumption to reduce CO2 emissions? There is already
the legal precedent of municipal water use restrictions.


I would support monitoring and restrictions when we can do it in China
and India as well as the US.

Yes, those evil doers in the 3rd world countries. Of course China has
a energy use (calculated in million BBL oil equivalent) of 10.2 per
capita, Indian 2.9 per capita and the U.S., 57.2 so we can tell that
them primitive places need to cut down!
