"..we haven't tanked the economy yet...however, this might put us over the top.."

Wasn't so long ago we were touting President Trump fueling the race to 30,000 on the DJIA....

Now we have biden and the race to 30,000 except in the opposite direction. So depressing...

Why the rush? All the ILLEGALS Biden is letting in will work for far less, for cash and off the books.

The government does not have the right to set a maximum or minimum hourly rate of pay for all.

There are already so many small businesses out in my medium-sized town. This should do in the rest of the them so only WalMart will be left standing.

A Federal minimum wage is stupid, because the cost of living varies so much around the country.

I looked up the average state cost of living index. If the country as a whole is taken to be 100 on average, Mississippi’s cost of living is 87, and Hawaii’s is 197. California is quite high also... IIRC, around 165.

So $15 is too much in some areas, and too little in others. In places where it is too high, it is harmful, depressing employment and burdening businesses. In places where it is too low, it is irrelevant.

If a worker wants to get paid $15 or more an hour, they need to develop the skills that opens those doors and then go where those jobs are.

There is no rule, no restriction, or no standard that cannot be cast aside in tearing down our culture and promoting the poisonous socialist model.

Unemployment will raise big time with all the lay offs to make up the difference in wages

“The American people elected Democrats to get things done, and they aren’t going to accept ‘process’ as an excuse for failing to [enact a $15 minimum wage].”​

The American people elected Democrats? Seems like the Dimmocommies elected themselves, through various forms of fraud. And the American people "elected Democrats to get things done"? You mean, like destroying tens of thousands of jobs, make us dependent on hostile nations for energy once more, destroy our national sovereignty, inflict illegal criminal invaders on us to suck us dry and vote illegally? You mean those things?
