Any idea how much money the US government already gives to the tuna industry via programs such as W.I.C.?????? Canned tuna is among the items available via the W.I.C. program. If tuna prices go up, then will the government continue to subsidize the industry? Will the government pay more? Or will the government pay a lower rate?

Anyone know if Pelosi actually voted for the bill? If so, given that her hubby owns an interest in El Monte, does that not violate House Ethics rules requiring members to abstain from voting on bills for which they have a financial interest?
They should use the ethics process against Pelosi just like Bonior used it against Newt--Turnabout is fair play...

aren't the 100 hours up yet? 100 congressional hours bears no relation to real time. They operate in their own universe where the laws of physics, economics and common sense are quite different from the real world.

"Does this apply to Puerto Rico also?"
No. Federal minimum wage increases apply automatically to Puerto Rico.

Why doesn't someone challenge the constitutionality of the Federal Minimum Wage?

The truth is the global tuna industry is so competitive that it is no longer possible for the federal government to demand mainland minimum wage rates for American Samoa without causing the collapse of our economy and making us welfare wards of the federal government."He doesn't understand that the negative effects of the minimum wage will be offset by the beneficial effects of a massive tax increase.

So American Samoa has always been excluded from federal legislation pertaining to the minimum wage and they're still excluding, is that how you're reading this?
Because that's how I'm reading this.

from what I understand, the dems are defining the 100 hours ONLY as pertains to their agenda items promised..per her website, they've only used 23 hours and 24 mins so far..

Good question and you and all freepers should send that question to Fox News and/or contact your legislators.

The territories (with the exception of Guam) can't afford to impose this higher minimum wage. Their standard of living is below that of stateside Americans.

San Francisco based DLM (del monte) on the big board, sure has been busy this last hour. Somebody dumped a load of it just before 4, rebounding now though. Heh, heh, this is going to be fun.

I liked Fred Thompson but I think he got his gut full during the Clinton Administration. I think the honest get out and don't look back. The corrupt stay for as long as they can pick our pockets while diverting out attention.
