Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen: “Today was one of the saddest days the House of Representatives has probably ever seen.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) spoke on the U.S. House floor about the House passage of HR 1406, which eliminates the 40-hour workweek. The measure, designed to drive down earnings for working Americans to inflate corporate profits, was passed with support from every Republican member of Congress from Tennessee — U.S. Reps. Phil Roe (TN-01), Jimmy Duncan (TN-02), Chuck Fleischmann (TN-03), Scott DesJarlais (TN-04), Diane Black (TN-06), Marsha Blackburn (TN-07) and Stephen Fincher (TN-08).

Democratic Reps. Jim Cooper (TN-05) and Cohen both voted against the bill which passed 223-204 mostly on party lines.

Oh, yeah, the 40-hour work week......loook, Benghazi! Overtime? Look, the president investigated conservative groups! What, lower wages? Look, Holder should resign! (yes, we asked him to investigate, but....)

2. Where the hell is our leaders?

With all the 3rd Way, DINO's, Blue Dogs and the rest of the Right-of-Center Democrats, you ask where our leaders are?

Maybe this will help:
