if you raise the cost of labor, you will increase unemployment. FDR didn't get it, and Dems don't get it, or else y'all really hate employment. If so, congrats, your policies are working flawlessly.
Your statement doesn't correlate if you look at the actual employment rates vs. wage by state, so I am not very concerned by yet another partisan attack.
Congratulations, you too, are now part of the problem.
Never ever bluff. If you can't win - fold. If you can - destroy.
I would suggest the Dems publicize the fact that the Repubs and Tea Party are forcing the airline industry to fly uninspected aircraft with unchecked pilots. That would have interesting results.

The Dems are holding it up , just vote on the bill you have . The House passed the bill to the Senate , vote and its done .
More violent rhetoric from the far left. No wonder these commie jerks want gun control. The way they over use violence in rhetoric can you imagine what a disaster they would be if they weren't hoplophobes?
The Hill had a story that I already posted a week or more ago about the FAA funding stall being the fault of Democrats.
I suspect Schumer's creation of a crisis is a tactic Obama will use to nationalize air transportation at large in the USA.
So what could possibly have been so crucial that Congress would throw such an enormous monkey wrench into an already-shaky U.S. economy? Last year's ruling by the Democratically-controlled National Mediation Board that makes it easier for unions to organize employees of railroads and airlines.
Under the board's decision, votes over whether to be represented by a union would be determined by a majority of those voting in the election instead of requiring a majority of all employees (a policy that, in effect, meant those not voting were automatically counted as casting "no" votes).
That hardly seems cataclysmic.
I don't have a problem with what the GOP is doing. We ought to be turning the screws on both the unions, and Ray LaHood.
Schumer: "GOP is holding gun to our heads over FAA"
chuckyou schumer is a LAIR
A Republican-sponsored bill passed by the House two weeks ago to extend FAA authority through Sept. 16 . FAA has a $16 billion budget this year.
Senate Democrats objected.
Also Tuesday 26 July , Democratic Sens. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, chairman of the Senate committee that oversees FAA's budget, and Maria Cantwell of Washington, who chairs the aviation subcommittee, sent a letter to airline industry officials complaining that airlines have raised fares during the tax holiday created by the FAA shutdown.

Union bosses and Dems behind partial FAA shutdown
"Senate Democrats objected".
Refused to give in to GOP extortion, like their alleged leader did, you mean.
