My wife asked me and I ask this here: Instead of a provision that benefited the Big Banks WHAT IF

[diabeticman]

some member of congress had slipped wording in stating the Min wage would be raised to $10.00 an hour in 2 years time. Starting Jan 15th (Or some date) min wage would be $ 8.50 and it would increase every six months or so until it reached $10.


Would the house had pushed this threw? Would Obama call along with the VP and cabinet members "encouraging " Democrats to pass this bill?

Would they have heard the objections of the Republicans and quickly removed it?


Of course they would have. Of course those calls would have been. Take the provision out so that we can pass a budget.


Thank the Gods (which everyone you believe in)/stars ( if you don't believe in Gods) for Senators Sanders and Warren.

3. It is all about the money

Banks provide big campaign contributions and cushy jobs for relatives and ex-congresscritters. The poor do not. It has really just come down to that for 80% of CONgress, and the Administration.

I'm sure Dimon will be making a nice contribution to the Presidential library.

4. It would have been denounced as "dirty tricks" by the Republicans.

And the main story about "un-cooperative Democrats" on every news channel.
