If Congress appropriates $105,000 for a contract job, at $7.50 an hour, that means there's about 7 workers that can be hired. If Obama raises to $10 and hour, that means that only around 5 can be hired, right?

I mean, it's squidgy as to whether or not he can "raise the minimum wage by executive order", but he can't raise the appropriation, right? So the natural consequence is that fewer workers can be hired. Obama's war on employment continues.

IMHO, the STATE OF THE OBAMANATION IRON CURTAIN SPEECH tonight will include the following:

* An increase in Federal Wage Control regulation of increased redistribution of taxpayer wealth to the least skilled workers under Obamanation minimum wage control.

* Approval of the XL Pipeline if the evil Republicans will approve of, for an unspecified time, unlimited redistribution of taxpayer wealth as authorized by US President Valerie Jarrett.

* An increase in the total number of illegal alien invaders from Mexico that will receive an increased redistribution of taxpayer wealth and full voting rights.

* An increase in the redistribution of taxpayer wealth given away to the least qualified high school student loan candidates.

* An increase in the redistribution of taxpayer wealth to fund Republican-caused cost overruns to the following essential Obamanation Iron Curtain Programs:
****Obamacare re-education camp style advertising to the Obama-Youth;
****IRS Harassment of the evil Republican enemies of Obamanation;
****NSA spy on your neighbor;
****Benghazi Cover Up hush money to victim witnesses;
****purchase of teleprompters for all Democrat 2014 Federal Candidates;
****purchase of hollow point small arms ammunition for non-military Federal Bureaus;
****and increased manufacturing of Obamanation Barrycades.

* An increase in the redistribution of taxpayer wealth to pay for the cost of the Air Force One trips required after completion of this State of the Obamanation Iron Curtain Speech.

FORWARD!

I do a lot of government work. On most of the jobs you have to follow the prevailing wage brought on by the Davis Bacon Act. In Minneapolis the lowest wage I can pay ANYONE is $45.12 per hour. That is for an unskilled laborer.
