If they are going to lose it won't be because of 2% of the working population's wage, it will be because of 100% of the working population having to pay $3 a gallon of gas. It may not be their fault but they will be held responsible.

God I hate election year legislation. Maybe it would be for the best if Congress just closed for business on January 1 on every election year. Some of the worst legislation and actions by congress ever has come on election years, at least in my memory.

Why can't they just make a principled argument to leave it to the states and be done with it? Why do we need a Federal minimum wage? What rational argument is there that the minimum wage should be the same in Nebraska as it is in California?

It's high time that the Republicans find someone to make the econ 101 case about why increasing the minimum wage increases unemployment and hurts the people it's supposed to help the most, instead of playing defense all the time.

Republicans may lose control of Congress. If they cave in on immigration and the minimum, serves 'em right. They're in a panic over there and when the sh*t hits the fan, that's when they'll stampede for the lifeboats.

I'm confused. Does the US have *too many* people willing to work for low wages, or *too few* willing to work for low wages.
