Wages

The House is battling over a minimum wage increase. Well not so much over it, but more over how they can slip out of being held accountable for not actually passing an increase by voters in November. While at the same time not actually passing one (hey, they need that money for the raises they voted on for themselves!)l

50 House Reps signed a letter to Boehner asking him to schedule a vote on the increase.

Of course, once the Republican House majority votes it down, they'll be able to return to their districts and talk about how much they really fought to get it passed, oh well, we tried.

I can feel their pain from here.
