And despite this the LIV will still vote rat.
Time for the attack dogs to go after the CBO. I hope the people in charge have enough money for audits.
Never trust those ney-sayers. His highness, the great PrezBHO will just plant more money trees. Problem solved and my work here is done...
Actually, Herr 0bama views this as a double positive. First, his (ignorant) base will applaude the Dems for fighting for “working families” who “deserve a living wage,” when they push for the increase in minimum wage. Second, when millions lose their jobs or can’t find jobs, it will increase the number of people on unemployment, welfare, and food-stamps, which of course should increase the Democrat voter base.
As a bonus, any Republicans who oppose the increase in minimum wage can be painted as evil villains, who only have the evil rich and evil corporations’ interests in mind, which the simpletons who vote Democrats will hear over and over thru the nationalized propaganda machine.
A higher minimum wage will “liberate” low income workers from having to worry about receiving an income. You can’t stress over a paycheck if you no longer get one.
This is a positive for the Democrats. They are freeing voters from having to work at low paying jobs.
Thanks to Obama, voters are free to pursue their muse (and surf the Internet on their free Obama iPhones) while collecting perpetual unemployment, food stamps, and Obamacare.
This is winning issue for the low info peeps...no more job lock!
Any number the CBO predicts during this Admin. multiply it by any number from 4 to 10.
we should call their bluff and raise them-new minimum wage: $20/hr or nothing at all. They would shiite themselves.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has just released an estimate that an increase of the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour could result in the loss of up to 1 million jobs...

Ummmm. No they didn’t.
Another lucky million people freed from the bonds of job-lock. All hail Obama!!
The CBO should have also noted that, with the exception of the federal entities indicated in the Constitution’s Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I, entites under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, that the states have never delgated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate a national minimum wage. It’s up to the individual states to decide their own minimum wages, Congress wrongly exploiting the misconception of a national minimum wage to win votes from low-information voters for many decades.
On the other hand, if the Article V supermajority of states thinks that a national mimimum wage is a good idea, then they can always amend the Constitution to delegate to Congress the specific power to regulate a national mimimum wage.
CBO estimate?
What GAO Found
The 26 major federal agencies that were required to participate in the PortfolioStat initiative fully addressed four of seven key requirements established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). However, only 1 of the 26 agencies addressed all the requirements. For example, agencies did not develop action plans that addressed all elements, such as criteria for identifying wasteful, low-value or duplicative information technology (IT) investments, or migrate two commodity IT areas—such as enterprise IT systems and IT infrastructure—to a shared service by the end of 2012.

Heads should roll in the list of agencies at the link and/or the agency should be shut down.
