The White House is calling for the passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act, citing that women earn just 77 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts.
"On average, full-time working women earn just 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. This significant gap is more than a statistic -- it has real life consequences. When women, who make up nearly half the workforce, bring home less money each day, it means they have less for the everyday needs of their families, and over a lifetime of work, far less savings for retirement," says the White House website.
It continues, "President Obama supports passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act, a comprehensive and commonsense bill that updates and strengthens the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which made it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform substantially equal work."

Its the kook limosine liberal mantra,do as I say but not as I do.
Okay, so we went through all the gyrations and ceremony to make this law back in '63. So, why not just enforce the law we have and spend our time on new issues like graft, corruption, greed, and cronyism. No, that would make us responsible for our actions. Let's just waste time making pretty gyrations instead.
Step aside ladies.As soon as you leave your White House position 1000 or more will be waiting in line.How dare any of the really young people to be eyeballing retirement.If you are not happy with your job,leave.
