Fascist bastard.
Propaganda, how many Federal Contractors are making less than $10.10 right now? My guess next to know one. Will anyone have the guts to call the Dictator on this one?
The King has spoken. Effects are for the lesser classes to figure out.
this is a useless gesture.
..higher kickbacks
So how many federal contractors actually make $7.25/hr? This sounds like a PR stunt with no real affect.
This is a very pedestrian example of how words are used to manipulate and form thought patterns.
Think of the biblical example of a man needing workers and going into the market at 6AM, getting laborers to willingly work for a penny
After some time, he saw he needed more workers, ... hired 'em for a penny
LATER in the day, he needed more help ... hired them for a penny.
After the days' work, everyone lined up to get paid ... the last ones hired in the front of the line
They got their penny and the guys in the back, who'd worked all day figured in their own reasoning, that they'd get paid more because they had worked longer hours.
When it was their turn, they grumbled and complained because all they got was the penny
The master told them, It is what you agreed to, and I can do whatever I want with my money
So ...
People will see "minimum wage increased", when all it is is a published pay scale ... nothing more
I’ve worked for military contractors for decades. I don’t think any of them had minimum wage employees. (Maybe in maintenance, but they all outsourced that to minority owed firms because of contractual requirements.) However, it will raise the wage of all union workers because they have a clause that keeps them x% above the minimum wage.
Il Douche uses his mighty pen as a sword. The Constitution lays in tatters, neglected and abandoned.
This is how the unions will get increased revenue from membership dues. They need that money to wage the upcoming battles for the Senate and later, the Presidency. Without union money, the Democrats can’t manipulate the zero infobots into thinking they can better help the needy.
Aren’t there some union employees whose pay is a miptiple of some base wage? Might this be used as a tool to increase other wages?
Im bad. I thought ALL spending had to be approved by congress.
How little did i know that i lived in a third world banana republic my whole life
The purpose of this action is to created huge discontent among all beginning employees who will want to know why the starting wage in the private sector is not $10 per hour. These are the first steps to creating a massive wave of discontent among the ignorant young, making them useful idiots in the upcoming revolution. None of this is not without a lot of thought. This nation is in very real danger.
I don’t agree with Obama at all. But...he said this would occur on NEW contracts.
It’s still a stupid idea.
Isn’t their a thing called Prevailing Wage for federal contractors. What a jerk
Indexed to inflation. Yeah..that will come in handy in the coming year.
This is another truth people who should know better do not realize. Barack Obama is NOT the problem. The extremely wealthy people behind the scenes going for totalitarian control ARE the problem and no one is pointing those people out.
Further proof (as if we need any more!) that Obama absolutely DOES NOT want to solve the economic woes he created ever since taking office.
Real pathetic that Plouffe still blame it on Bush this weekend.

“link goes to the Socialist newspaper”
Province of Ontario, Canada, is also set to increase the minimum wage.
The governing Progressive’s need to call an election.
The same crew contracted Axerod and company to advise their previous Election Campaigns
Seems the Ontario progressives co-ordinate with the Chicago progressives.
How convienent
Bet Axelrod makes more than minimum wage
Why should the minimum be the same in San Francisco and Tuscaloosa?
I believe this will impact most service jobs on government facilities.
