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.

Don't give him any ideas, he just may do it.  :banghead:

1. He should do it in the name of national security. Or any loophole...

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.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
