Laws of supply and demand? Meh! The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has calculated that Biden's $15/hr. minimum wage could kill as many as 3.7 million jobs.
But on this morning's New Day, CNN commentator Errol Louis said it was "shameful" of Democrat Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia not to support the increase.
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Democrats love to brag that they “follow the science.” Guess what? Economics is a science, too. The laws of supply and demand are immutable, and Democrats will ignore them at the peril of millions of working people.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
It’s shameful not to uphold the Constitution.
There’s no enumerated power that actually permits a federal minimum wage law.
“It’s shameful not to want to put people out of work.”
How many $15 per hour minorities is Errol Louis going to hire?
When you’re a leftist race hustler, you go with inflammatory rhetoric to incite the masses.
What they don't need is to be put out of work and become even poorer.
I wonder where this fool stands on mass immigration (legal and illegal) which lowers American wages?
Errol Lewis is a loud-mouthed dufous who happens to be black. His blackness got him his job at CNN.
He has a political and law degree. Bet he can’t even do statistical math. He has no idea how a small business works nor a clue about economics.
New York City, where Lewis hails from, already HAS a $15 minimum wage.
Can’t Lewis comprehend that and further can he not understand how the rest of the country is NOT New York City?

We think that the fact that the $15 minimum wage will put 1.4 million people out of work (according to the Congressional Budget Office) is a reason to oppose it.
To Dhimmicraps, it’s a reason to support it. It’s why they want it. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
They need a permanent underclass, ever expanding, on whom to inflict their “compassion.” They need it as large as possible to create dependency on them to keep themselves in power — the ONLY thing they care about.
Since when does the Media decide for us??
Errol Louis is a mean-spirited racist.
It’s shameful to force people to pay higher prices than they have to.
That’s what a “wage” is - a price for people.
To hell with these commies.
How do you expect kids living for free with mom and dad to buy their $200 NIKE sneakers?
It’s shameful that CNN hasn’t increased all their employees’ salaries high enough to absorb all of CNN’s profits. (if not drive them out of business)
Commentator us an idiot and has no understanding of economics.
What are the odds this guy has never signed the front of a paycheck....
Probably 100 percent.
Why not $30/hour minimum wage? why so cheap?
Why not 20? Why does he hate burger flippers and only want them to earn 15?
