I may regret this later, but you are right: Savage is all wet on the minimum wage.

No, your right, the minimum wage is wrong.

It basically leads to an increas in the supply of labour, i.e. an increase in unemployment, particularily for older unskilled workers.

But when you have a flood of illegals putting downward pressure on wages, you alter tha labor market in favor of businesses looking to hire low wage workers.

Take away the illegals and wages would tend to equilibrium.

Whew, some of the old university economics coming back to me.

Everybody wakes up.

Good morning.

He is wet on Serbs too! He took their side against brave KLA freedom fighters and against humanitarian West.
