earlier this month. “What’s radical is the fact that millions of Americans are forced to work for starvation wages, while 650 billionaires became over $1 trillion richer during a global pandemic. Yes. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.”
The Democratic plan, which is supported by President Biden, would not hike the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 immediately. It would do so gradually, with the minimum wage ultimately reaching $15 by 2025. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office did report on Monday that the plan would come at the expense of 1.4 million jobs, but also that it would increase the pay of low-wage earners by a total of $333 billion, and lift 900,000 Americans out of poverty.
So Congress could raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour, as the majority of Americans prefer, or the poverty-stricken could listen to Republicans, find some way to make it back to the Seventies, get jobs as line cooks, and someday become senators.
Ah, time travel could have solved a lot of things..
