At least its better then the GOP keeping out all DoL regs out of the Mariana Islands.

Why should the minimum wage be raised? We righties may be a funny crowd but you lefties are a bunch of walking economic diseasters.

It has no effect on unemployment, in fact assuming increasing costs with hiring additional employees, it would result in higher employment if anything.

'Its simple economics raising the costs reduces demand' is not economics. Its not even close to a realistic model.
