Obstructionist Senate Repubs Block Minimum Wage Hike

Post by CID1990 »

Oh wait... nevermind, the Republicans aren't the majority in the Senate:

You can't make this stuff up. Looks like Harry can only get 50% of his caucus to vote yes for this, so now they have to try to make it go away without looking completely inept. You really have to wonder how it is that the administration's key pivot- their primary issue to distract from Obamacare fell flat like this. I mean, the legislative relations office at the White House can't be as inexperienced and out of touch as this, could they?

Gotta love those anti-worker, pro-big bidness Democrats.

They aren't divided when it comes to voting themselves a raise and the best bennies the taxpayers can provide.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
