You want me to explain the hand picked portion that you like?! That’s pretty sad.
When asked about raising the minimum wage in the November debate did he say we’d have to leave it as it is? Yes.
When asked now was he open to raising the minimum wage he said he was “open to doing something with it”. Well, what does that mean as far as an answer to the question that was asked? It could mean he wants to leave it as it is. It could mean he wants to get rid of it completely. It could mean he wants to raise it to $20/hr. It could mean ANY of those things. Since he doesn’t explain further, if you guess which one you think he means then there’s a chance you’ll be wrong. Why not just say “Hey, back in November he said we couldn’t touch it, but now he’s saying he’s open to doing something with it. That’s different than what he said before.” I am not saying this is good or bad, I am simply acknowledging that it is different than what he said before.
” what I’m really looking to do is get people great jobs so they make much more money than that, so they make ... much more money than the $15.” What about this statement? What does it have to do with minimum wage? There will always be minimum wage type jobs. Do you think burger flippers will be making $20/hour? If burger flippers are making $20/hour what do you think that means for inflation? Do you understand the inability of every working person making that kind of wage?
