As usual there is no mention of minimum wage increase to $7.25/hr in 2009; that couldn’t be a factor in high youth unemployment, academic studies like that of new WH chief economic adviser Krueger have proved that.

Pretty amazing really. In the face of a major economic downturn the fools in congress raise the minimum wage... And then wonder what happened to teen unemployment... Duh...

And there is also no mention of the 5 to 7 or 8 million illegal aliens who hold jobs in this country. What would happen to employment in this country if Americans held those jobs?

Not to mention that I would not have to know the spanish words for menu items at just about any fast food place in a 50-mile radius...
