Hey Joe, why not $60.10 an hour?
No amount of gimmicks will fix this turkey!
The way to get people earning more is to remove the unproductive jobs (government pencil pushes and nose gazers) and encourage productive jobs (don’t tax them so much).
This is looking libertarian, believe it or not.
Why so stingy? Make it $100,000 an hour and we’ll all be rich! Government waves its magic wand and abolishes the laws of economics. Biden must be vying for Boob of the Year.
Question...is he really that stupid or he is sly and conniving and understands what all demagogues have about what appeals to the ignorant.
As mentioned in related threads, with the exception of the federal entities indicated in the Constitution’s Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, entities under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate minimum or overtime wages. Only the states have the unque, 10th Amendment-protected power to regulate intrastate labor wages.
What’s going on is Constituton-ignoring politicians like Biden are exploiting low-information voters in the following way. Biden is wrongly promising such voters, voters who have never been taught about the federal government’s constitutional limited powers, a constitutionally indefensible higher federal minimum wage in order to win their votes and keep Democrats in power.
Note that there is nothing stopping the states from amending the Constitution to grant Congress the power to establish and regulate a national minimum wage if the states believe that doing so is the best way to handle minimum wage.
