House Raises Minimum Wage

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Preeche tells story like a grandpa.

This will probably die in the Senate anyway.

EDIT:

Sorry, but to add to that, I'm sort of frustrated will all of this b/c we're seeing a lot of mid-cycle politics right now. And it's funny, because Liberals and Democrats have been howling for weeks about how arbitrary flag burning amendments and other token Right-wing issues are, and that we have "important things to be discussing," etc. etc.

Meanwhile, House Dems push through a minimum wage increase that they know probably won't pass the Senate, all so they can go back to their districts in August and put "and I voted X amount of times to increase the minimum wage!" on their brochures.

Ugh, I'm disgusted.
