I could be wrong but I think I heard that a lot of part time Wal-Mart employees are on welfare, which is in essence the US government subsidizing Wal-Mart. Hiring people that still have to remain on welfare doesn't do the American tax payer, the economy or the person being hired much good. The problem is how you force them to hire full time employees without causing too much market dislocation.
Then it occurred to me. How about raising the minimum wage for part time work? In other words, if you hire someone full time you can hire them at the current minimum wage, but if you only pay them part time you have to pay them two dollars more an hour.

I know you're kinda
persona non grata as it is, but I think the GOP keeps extra stakes on hand to burn heretics who write shit like this.
