”The president is poised to sign it and to keep the government open,” said top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Prove it.

The White House said Tuesday that Trump will sign the measure

That's not proof. Somebody saying something is not proof. Look at how conditioned you are by the media and the government.
He said so.
Ok.
Lol.

Prosecuter: He's guilty
Judge: Proof?
Prosecuter: Bob said he heard someone say he did it.
Judge: Sorry, that might work for progressive morons but not here.

Judge, progs can drink paddy water.

Blame that on the liberals for constantly inflating the dollars with their reckless spending.

1.4 Trillion latest budget, signed by Trump-

Who is the leader of Congress? Should she be blamed for the government shutdown if she doesnt present a bill to keep the government open?

Well...about time...most would say--and a clear victory for those who have long agitated for such things..of note..this is not just a Blue state thing:



"The surge in higher minimum wages comes after years of lobbying and demonstrations from labor groups like the Fight for $15, which sprang up in 2012 to advocate for a living wage of $15 an hour. At the time, its goals struck some critics as far-fetched, but widening income inequality and spiraling housing costs are placing pressure on lawmakers to pass higher minimum wages.

Record-low unemployment across most of the country also has played a role, forcing employers to bid up wages to attract qualified employees. Late last year, Amazon raised its base pay for workers at warehouse operations around the country to $15. Even the conservative TV network Sinclair Broadcasting, after railing against minimum wage hikes in on-air commentaries, announced this month it would raise its starting pay to $15 an hour come December 29."

Workers in half of U.S. states will get a pay raise in 2020



States with wage hikes on Jan. 1
Each of the 21 states that are boosting their minimum wages at year-start, with their new minimum wage and percentage increase.

• Alaska - $10.19 (3%)
• Arizona - $12 (9.1%)
• Arkansas - $10 (8.1%)
• California - $13 (8.3%)
• Colorado - $12 (8.1%)
• Florida - $8.56 (1.2%)
• Illinois - $9.25 (12%)
• Maine - $12 (9.1%)

• Michigan - $9.65 (2.1%)
• Minnesota - $10 (1.4%)
• Missouri - $9.45 (9.9%)

• Ohio - $8.70 (1.8%)
• South Dakota - $9.30 (2.2%)
• Vermont - $10.96 (1.7%)
• Washington - $13.50 (12.5%)

The State has no business trying to control the prices for anything.....Just ask Nixon.

It is not good to keep on raising minimum wage. But we should be focusing on stopping inflation, by cutting taxes. A company can hire more if it doesn't have to pay more in taxes and wages. Our taxes are being used to fund the Deep state. And so that means that we are paying excessive amount in taxes, that we have money to burn. And by lowering taxes can help those that aren't making enough. Because it will lower the prices on food products and fuel. Which one reason why Big corporation wants taxes to be raise. It is to bring up the prices on food and fuel, so that it will be worth it for them to go into the food business. Ever since they went into the food business. That food prices has sky rocketed and farmlands are being shut down here and moving them across the border where they can have farmers that will attend to their crops for a lesser wage.
And so raising wages here, will hurt the economy.

How many folks do you know that are on welfare?

Quit a few. Worked at the shelter. He's pretty accurate.

Fact is, people who don't have to work, don't, until they have to.

If they can live without working, then that is what they end up doing.

This was true in the 90s, where people kicked off welfare, were amazingly able to magically find work, when it was either work or not eat.
How many decades did they live off welfare and food stamps, until the Republicans passed welfare reform? Not only that, but everyone said that people would be dying in the streets, and children would go starving. Instead they all got jobs, and worked for a living. No one died in the streets.

This was true in the 2008 recession as well. It was (un) amazing how many people magically couldn't find work when they had 99 weeks of unemployment compensation, and then magically were all able to find jobs after the 99 weeks ran out.

In fact they even did a research paper on this, regarding people who were living in foreclosed homes. If I can find that paper again, I'll post it here. But the unsurprising finding was that people who were not paying on their mortgage, but the house had not been repossessed, stayed in the house rent free without work. Then magically when the repossession of the house was set.... suddenly when given the choice of being homeless or working and paying for a house, they could find work. Why they magically couldn't find work until the house was repossessed?

Because people who don't have to work, don't.

I guarantee, with years of evidence to back it... that if you cut welfare, the welfare rolls will decline, and people will find work... doesn't matter what the economy is doing. And I equally guarantee with historical evidence to back me, that if you increase welfare spending, no matter how good the economy is doing or otherwise, that welfare rolls will increase.

The economy has nothing to do with it. You allow more people to live without working, you'll have an entire nation of lazy people sucking the wealth of the country away.

Why do you think AOC even suggested having a universal wage, for people who choose to not work? Because she knows that there are tons of people that love that idea. They don't want to have to work for anything, and given the choice they won't.

We’ve already had a couple casualties to that wage hike here in Central Massachusetts... one restaurant in Worcester thst shut down last weekend saying they would not be able to meet necessary staffing levels under the increase, at least 2 grocery stores already announcing cutbacks on cashiers and stocking staff to maintain profit margins.

Way to go you stupid bastards on Beacon Hill.

If raising minimum wage is bad and it will cause producers to raise the prices of their products

Would lowering the minimum wage to $2 mean a stronger economy and all of that good stuff??

 

[initforme]

Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be high turnover jobs. Employers don't expect much productivity from minimum wage workers. Minimum wage employers do not want employees sticking around on these jobs. Raising it isn't going to help the employers.
