It was going to go up anyways, regardless of whether or not minimum wage goes up. Whats your reason for everything going up 80% since the last minimum wage increase [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, prepare for fewer available jobs in entry level positions like fast food, grocery stores, etc.

Wal Mart doesn't pay min. wage, but they don't go much above it. If this does pass, look for fewer people to be around to help you at Wally World.

8 billion will be added to a broader war-spending package for fiscal year 2007 that was already expected to hit $100 billion. The current fiscal year is on track to become the costliest yet for the Iraq war... Bush on Iraq

Which of those two do you think is REALLY going to drive up prices? And take cash out of your pocket to replace the military? We have to replace and rebuild the military.

Actully people said that same thing when Clinton got minimum wage raised back in the day, and noithing else went up, And the number of entry level positions di not change. But since that pathetic idiot Bush took office, everything has gone up, some things nearly doubled or more. Gas, Milk, Utilities, Its no big secret that that the Bushes reap bigger proffits when utility costs and fuel costs sky rocket. I think anytime Big Business helps elect a republican to the Whitehouse, minimu wage should automaticly be doubled, as to try to offset the many financial setbacks one will sure face with another money grubbing, war mongering, control freak republican elected. Thank God for a democratic congress that will get the ball rolling for positive change, to hilp us dig out the incredible mess that moron has created here and abroad, and hopefully dismantle the poorest excuse for an administration in the history of the planet!!!!!

I nominate this as the most asinine post to ever be entered on this forum.

I take it your degree isn't in economics!

President bush is in big trouble, he no longer has the backing of his own party. He has been the biggest failure EVER, if you don't believe that, you are an idiot. It will take us generations to recover from the financial destruction that jerk has inflicted on our nation. All the lives lost in Iraq, over what, Greed, making money for Daddy's war weapons company the carlysle group. Controling the most oil in the middle east, thats another thing this war is about, President Bush should be impeached, Thank God only 2 years left. He is the most hated president in US history, and to back him and say he has done well in his job,just because you are a republican, is whats asinine!
If you can't see what that B@stard has done to our country, you have got to be either the most ignorant person in the world, or the most party loyal person in the world, which ever, I dont have to say anymore about Bush, his pi$$ poor record speaks for itself!!!!!
