Yahoo! news posted this article morning, entitled "Minimum-wage hike still not enough for families" What is enough? Is there any dumber issue, any bigger strawman than the minimum wage? I live in a pretty rural area, and I don't think you could get a minimum wage job if you wanted one.
More importantly than the economics of it, when did it become the resonsibility of the Federal government to ensure a particular wage for anyone? Why in the world is the government involved in this? This is another example of the fuzzy headed thinking that has led to the "War on Poverty" that has managed to impoverish so many Americans and ship so many jobs overseas.
