I agree I think also we should encourage savings and tax interest on debt.

Minimum wage increase to $6.55.

Except in Guam, where San Francisco-based Starkist Tuna employs a lot of people. Say, who’s the U.S. Representative of San Francisco?

ALCOA is also slashing its workforce. My 60 year old brother-in-law does IT at their Port LaVaca TX plant. He’s worried, and should be. Layoffs there started last year, and now it looks like they are accelerating.
