No it wasn't. Hourly wages have always been market driven. Then came socialist inspired policies that deny the reality of supply and demand. Now do you understand,
Yes lets listen to that economic tool who thought bailouts work. yes he knows what's best for others.
I wonder what this flip flopping fraud will say next week?
The poorest in society have been sabotaged for far too long. A major increase in minimum wage is going and needs to happen soon.
I get it. You want to help. Instead of forcing others to pay what you think is reasonable allow individuals to decide for themselves.
Want to close the gap between the haves and the have nots? Get rid of the war on drugs and fight crony capitalism.
Yep, minimum wage was always intended to be a living wage!
No it wasn't!

Anyone who is for forced wages is a big government supporter all the way. How's that been working out?

LMAO He's a big government freak all the way. The difference between him and the dems is he has an R by his name. At least the dems are up front about it. you know what's coming. Spend and get government involved in running our daily lives for his causes. Neutral? pffft

Of course we would. You want to have the Central planners, who are known economic failures, to be in charge of that? When are you going to learn?
If you want to stop inflation, how about we stop government from printing money and spending beyond their means? That's a start.
I agree with him. I really do not comprehend the GOP's utter contempt for raising the minimum wage.
Well, you'd have to understand the Economics behind it.
And then there's the constitutionality of it.
When he felt the time was ripe,
President Roosevelt asked
Secretary of Labor Perkins,
'What happened to that
nice unconstitutional bill
you had tucked away?'

The purpose of Demand-pull Inflation is to protect and conserve resources.
Indexing minimum wage would turn the US into a 2nd World State.
Willard is a politician, he knows what to say to get votes.
Apparently he doesn't. Maybe he is not a very good politician.
Why would he say it now unless it is a business opinion? What office is he running for?
