Yeah...what's that about?!True. Repubs cling to VooDoo economics even though its been proven to not be in their interest to do so..Non sequitur, a single person's wage growth does not reflect the overall wage growth for all workers in any way. My own profession pays less than it used to, adjusted for inflation, as does practically everyone's. A rising tide, in fact, does not raise all boats.Gee, I must be lucky, my wage growth has outpaced the wage growth of teens working at McDonalds.It already has since America's working class last experienced real wage growth.What is modest about moving from $7.25 an hour to $23.00 an hour? That is a 317% increase. I'd hardly call that "modest". If your gas or groceries or insurance or car prices (or other stuff) increased by 317% would you be ok with it?Even very modest wage increases have a Very stimulative effect on the economy. No one is really asking for unreasonable wages, just keeping pace with the cost of living would be an improvement.
