Why do you need money?
WASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled Senate smothered a proposed election-year increase in the minimum wage Wednesday, rejecting Democratic claims that it was past time to boost the $5.15 hourly pay floor that has been in effect for nearly a decade.
The Senate vote marked the ninth time since 1997 that Democrats there have proposed — and Republicans have blocked — a stand-alone increase in the minimum wage. The debate fell along predictable lines.

This is just dishonest. Let me do math… because me normally stupid do math. Der. 1997 + 9 = 2006. So, that would equal approximately one per year. Now lets see, senate members are elected every six years so they’ve been doing this in off election years too. Yeah, they come up on staggered years, but… still.
This is how stupid the MSM is. While it’s technically an election year this has been a project for the dem’s since 97’. The MSM is misleading and whats worse no one seems to care. It won’t be on any news programs other than to say how evvvvvil dem’s want to give people mo… ugh, why do I bother.
