Too bad Obama can't raise the minimum wage by fiat. That would pump a lot of money into the economy.

Maybe it's time for another bill in Congress, even if it can't win -- just to remind working people who's on their side.

I think we could look the other way.

Of course you would look the other way, you have done every other time he has done this.

For a couple days, then the massive lay-offs start, followed by business down-sizing, followed by business closures.
Wonderful idea, DUmpmonkey, your five buck an hour raise will last two days before...out the door you go.

Consumer prices rise about double...etc.  DUmmy economics never work in reality.
