It didn't pass yet. They didn't vote on it. So it's still not so. That means anyone getting the minimum wage just want the money. Easy pay to easy work. And that would be the case. Getting the job really easy. Minimum wage $15/hour.

Most reasonable people do not oppose a 15/hr minimum wage. Florida just passed a 15/hr minimum wage and voted for Trump.

The majority of the american people support a 15/hr minimum wage.

Which promises were those? He either fulfilled them all or tried vigorously and was stopped by Congess. Yet you called him a DICTATOR. So which is it?

Stop lying.

He said Mexico would pay for the wall, he said he would eliminate the national deficit (he has increased it HUGELY),
He said that everyone would have health care, he said that he would bring back coal, he said that once he was elected that he would then show his income taxes....

Biden signs $15 Min wage - goodbye democracy.

Oh please! Talk about over dramatics! We haven't had a minimum wage increase in over a decade.
Giving poor people enough money to survive on, would hardly do away with our Democracy.
You guys always have a fit when they give poor people money, yet you are fine and dandy with them throwing billions over to the
billionaires and corporations. It's bizarre! And pathetic.

It's a no-op EO for Federal workers only and they already make way more than fed min wage.

Joe can't increase the min wage for everyone via an EO. That has to come from Congress.

What's a living wage? You do realize that low skilled employees will always be the lowest payed and have a lower standard of living? Why cant "y'all" just admit you want full blown communism?

He's doing that a** backwards. He needs to enforce our immigration laws first and secure the border before increasing minimum wage. Under his plan it will just increase illegal immigration because the greedy employers won't want to pay $15 an hour for a worker when they have an even larger pool of illegal aliens to hire.

If I hear this "Mexico is supposed to pay for the wall" parroted one more time I think I'm going to puke!!! How many times do we have to tell you lefties that they are helping to pay for it in different ways. How many times do we have to tell you lefties that a $25 billion wall is much cheaper than the over $100 billion a year that illegals cost us even if the taxpayer had to fund it? It is 90% effective in deterring illegal entry. How many times do I have to ask you lefties if you objected to the taxpayer funded 700 miles of fencing built in 2006? Crickets..............

But your objection to executive orders hardly pertains just to Joe Biden. I actually agree they're over-used, but every president has used lots of them.
No they did not read or even see Biden announce the details.

This objection over EO is warranted. Way too many.

Comes down to that stupid 60 vote rule in the Senate. Time for it to go away.
