"His record: Bilbray voted... for a minimum wage increase."

Ah, goodie, someone who doesn't even understand the basic concept of economics. Yup, this is definitely a Conservative All-Star.

Some day an intelligent economist like you should figure that we need to call the lefts bluff and say we will double the minimum wage AS LONG AS no other wages tied to it through union contracts go up a like percentage .
----the increase in the minimum wage does little harm compared to the same percent of increase being applied to a 60 dollar an hour auto worker.
the little guy after inflation and moving into a higher tax bracket probably has less disposable income.
Bilbray has learned that we shouldn't assume every issue is ours or their's -- single issue advocates would like it to stay that way forever.
maybe your certainty of thought inhibits an ability to know that most valuable of things--what you don't know
