No doubt my SS chk will adjust an equal % as well. $$$$$
Who is making minimum wage working for the feds?
Exactly. They can kiss their tips goodbye.. and possibly their jobs.
I hope he does sign it. It takes the issue off the table and the GOP loses the moniker of not being for “the little guy”. win-win.
If Minimum wage laws worked to alleviate poverty then we should still be working for 25 cents an hour, in real silver.
In five years they will be demanding $20 an hour because they can’t get by on $15.
Correction: House passes bill to bring back strong inflation and destroy small business.
There is no delegated power given to Congress for having a federal minimum wage law.
The Democrats are lawless, Constitution hating sacks of shit, and have been since FDR and company kicked governance by constitutional means to the curb, fulfilling so-called “progressive” dreams that they’d been dreaming against the Republic since the 19th century.
I wish Republicans were really willing to reverse this, but they aren’t. Mr No Repeal Eisenhower set the tone for that.
Most people don’t work for small businesses, own a small business or work at low or no skill job. Most people don’t give crap about this. Pass it. Sign it.
Does a Federal minimum wage pass constitutional muster. That would be an interesting court case.
I, for one, will cease to pay tips. And am likely to cease going to restaurants in light of the likely higher prices on the menu AND the increase in less-than-adequate service and product quality.
To not artificially raise wages - for those lucky enough to remain employed - is not to "suppress" them. As price goes up, demand goes down ... basic economics.
I have always maintained that one of the first congressional reforms that I would put into place is the requirement that any congressional actions on pay raises or benefits for members or staff must be a separate bill with a mandatory roll-call vote.
Cook your own dang food then.
No more tipping servers if they are getting paid that much and cost of the menu will soar.

Restaurants will disappear.
Well, POTUS might SIGH, if it gets to his desk, but I don’t think he will sign it.
Yeah, I’m going on SS starting next year (age 66), and will continue working as well, at least until the mortgage is at zero. My wife’s SS was just shy of of our mortgage payment until last year. She got a bump that puts it just over.
Are you forgetting the way relative wages get linked in negotiations?
In Europe they once had a system of treaties that some thought would make war so unthinkable that it would prevent wars.
WW1 was the result.
People can set off a trap others unknowingly laid before them.
Well there will go the jobs.
Its a dog eat dog world. I learned the truth of that here.
