of course he couldn’t raise the min wage all by himself. what do you expect? leadership?
but he did manage to cut the taxes of the “middle class” by a couple of thousand a year, and he did it with just a few friends over a weekend. who says our political system is dysfunctional?
of course he turned Social Security into a welfare program, but just so you know it wasn’t a mistake, the Democrats all think it was a wonderful idea.
And the far left are now applauding the return of Bob Kerry, because while he’s a long time enemy of Social Security, he’s better than any Republican, and we can “get to him.”
the people i read… a surprising number of them, right and left, say that the “stimulus” won’t work because all the jobs have been offshored.
but anyway it’s good to see the stimulus takes the form of a tax cut. just like all the stimulants we have been taking for the past eight, not to say thirty, years.
Obama is not the “food stamp president”:
Obama is the $3.15/hr below LBJ’s $10.40/hr minimum wage president — 190% the average income later.
Obama is the $1/hr below Eisenhower’s $8.25/hr minimum wage president — 250% the average income later.

he promised he was going to raise the minimum wage to $9.50 by 2011 during the 08 campaign…
