June 13,2006 | WASHINGTON -- In a surprise move, a House panel voted Tuesday for a hike in the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25, which would be the first increase in a decade.
First in a decade. Do you all remember how hard it was to get the last minimum wage hike passed? I don't either- it was a fuck of a long time though.
So at least they are getting the issue going in the House, but it will be stripped faster than Jeff Gannon on a porn site.
Happy mid-term election year- let's see how many more doomed to fail populist proposals get brought up and squashed.
