President Obama is considering using his executive authority to raise the minimum wage for federal contractors, he told Senate Democrats during a closed meeting at the White House.

Along with Davis Bacon wages?
Another piece of empty rhetoric from an empty headed president. This guy is really, really stupid.
The Davis-Bacon Act as amended, requires that each contract over $2000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for the construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or public works shall contain a clause setting forth the minimum wages to be paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics employed under the contract.
LABORER: Mason Tender - (this is a brick laborers helper)
Cement/Concrete $20.88/hr plus $6.47/hr in fringe benefits for a total of $27.35/hr which we must all agree is not a living wage and should be raised. Think about it, could anyone live on $1,094.00 for a 40 hour week?
Or how about a Roofer who earns $26.90/hr in wages and $10.18 in fringe benefits for only $37.08 for only $1,483.20 for a 40 hour work week? Slavery I tell you, slavery!
this is because there is no inflation and the fed fixed things.
What the heck is this web site lol It almost froze my computer....whatever. The minimum wage should be raised
