Don't worry. The Dims will solve this problem.
Yeah, right! Doncha just love that one of their first policy efforts will be to raise the minimum wage. I know they have 600 economists who state that it will not affect unemployment, but the fact is that it does. When a business person is forced to raise wages, they are usually between a rock and a hard place in terms of cost. Very often it means firing the least experienced, least productive, often minority worker. It is this audience the increase is supposed to help.
If raising the wage to $7.25 is such a great idea, clearly raising it to $20 is even better. If there's no unemployment consequences, why not shoot for this target?
They're idiots...
They already did -- didn't you see it?
Even though the economy grew "real slow" the last 6 months, it's going to go great guns NOW.
