Wow Granny....nice set of sweater puppies! Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

no, it's a rise in the minimum wage (you keep confusing the two) i have a question - why was the minimum wage introduced in the usa According to Wiki... Minimum wages were first proposed as a way to control the proliferation of sweat shops in manufacturing industries. The sweat shops employed large numbers of women and young workers, paying them what were considered to be substandard wages. The sweatshop owners were thought to have unfair bargaining power over their workers, and a minimum wage was proposed as a means to make them pay "fairly." Over time, the focus changed to helping people, especially families, become more self sufficient. Today, minimum wage laws cover workers in most low-paid fields of employment.[3] By your reasoning I think we should really go for it and raise the minimum wages . Say $50,000/year. Imagine all the money injected into the economy by all those businesses paying that wage. Better yet, raise it to 250K and imagine all the tax revenues. Please don't dent the planet.

is this the same simple economics that didn't predict the credit crunch and depression? mmmmmm..... You're the one who suggest doubling the minimum wage. It's another tax on small business, the largest employer. How about we wait and see how well the health care proposal works, along with the bailouts, and the failure of GM and AIG, the tanking market, and the new taxes on those evil people who make over 250K before we go so far off track we can't find our way back.

Yep. Get in line for your helping comrade. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I know from simple economics that an increase in the minimum wage results in an upward spiral of prices. The increased buying power you get is offset by increases in prices. And, it can force some businesses on the edge out of business. But that's OK, we can always bail 'em out. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

It doesn't what we want anymore. It's gonna happen so we might as well get used to it. I wonder how all those docs with huge student loans are gonna repay them when the government controls their income. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Personally I'm waiting to see when they stop doing! He's on a fucking rampage right now. He knows he has 2 years to shove all this stuff down our throats. Might have been a concidence but as I'm watching him talk about health care reform the dow dropped 20 points. No talk about how we're going to pay for all of this. Please don't dent the planet.

The whole war on drugs has been a fantastic failure. Imagine the tax monies governments could reap by legalizing herb. We already regulate alcohol and tobacco fairly well. Seems adding gange to the mix wouldn't be that difficult. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

GM Says It Has 'Substantial Doubt' It Will Survive http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,505130,00.html GM has received $13.4 billion in federal loans as it tries to survive the worst auto sales climate in 27 years. It is seeking a total of $30 billion from the U.S. government. During the past three years it has piled up $82 billion in losses, including $30.9 billion in 2008.

One can always find a poll that reflects their views. Wednesday, March 04, 2009 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 42% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time since Gallup began tracking Barack Obama's presidential job approval rating on Jan. 21, fewer than 60% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president.

When is that gonna happen? Senate Votes to Keep Earmarks in Spending Bill Sen. John McCain's attempt to strip out an estimated 8,500 earmarks failed on a vote of 63-32. "How does anyone justify some of these earmarks: $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa; $2 million "for the promotion of astronomy" in Hawaii; $6.6 million for termite research in New Orleans; $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York," he said.
