Raising the minimum wage is a top priority of organized labor, which began pushing for an increase over a year ago, and the issue is now getting lots of media play. Polling looks good; even 58% of Republicans support raising the $7.25 federal minimum wage. Several states haven’t waited for federal action and have already acted on their own. Also, Obama’s initial increase target of $9 is getting pushed up.
On the right, we see the usually shopworn arguments against raising the minimum wage, or against any minimum wage at all, which have been debunked by research. And like dismantling Social Security, eliminating minimum wage laws is a conservative wet dream that has no chance of being realized. Public opinion is moving in the opposite direction.
It’s not a done deal yet, but the movement for raising the minimum wage has legs, is gaining traction, and shows much promise of turning into a success story for organized labor and low income advocates. With something like 87% of the American people supporting raising the minimum wage, even the GOP-controlled House may not be able to resist.

CNBC reports today that budget negotiators Paul Ryan and Patty Murray are shaping a two-year deal for the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years (the federal fiscal year starts on Oct. 1) that would set spending at about $990 billion and leave the door open for higher revenue through fee increases.
While this deal would leave spending at present levels, it would allow some shifting of spending priorities, and instead of rigid sequesters would give departments and agencies some latitude in where to direct spending and where to cut.
Importantly for financial markets, it would defuse the threat of a government shutdown or default when the current short-term agreement expires in January (although I never believed the GOP would risk another shutdown in an election year).

It looks like the economy is getting better. This month’s economic data has been strong (except for holiday retail sales, which are lagging last year’s), with good employment numbers, and the stock market has been selling off all this week in anticipation of the Federal Reserve reducing monetary stimulus.
That’s not great news for investors, although it was expected, but a stronger economy obviously is good news for Main Street. Even though I’m a stock flipper who benefited from this year’s strong stock market run, I’m on the side of Main Street. Wall Street has had its fun, and now it’s time for real Americans to experience economic recovery. They’ve waited for years while banks and corporations diddled around with the nearly $3 trillion the Fed printed and handed to them.
No doubt our conservative friends will have a conniption because Obama’s policies saved the economy instead of pushing it into another Great Depression. In other words, the austerity idiots have been proved wrong again. Their economic policies don’t work, and they know it, but they would rather wreck the economy than admit that the sole purpose of their economic demands is to make the filthy rich even richer. Screw ’em. These people are evil and we owe them absolutely nothing. We should dismiss them and their crackpot economic theories out of hand without given them any further hearing. They had their chance to run the economy and ran it into the ground. Why anyone at all still listens to them is a mystery.

Jim Miller actually managed to post something interesting on the Brand X blog:
“According to a recent study, people here are the least likely to curse during a business phone call. People in Ohio cursed the most as compared to every other state in the Union: They swore in one out of about every 150 phone conversations. Ohio was followed, respectively, by Maryland, New Jersey, Louisiana, and Illinois. And who swore the least? Washingtonians. They cursed, on average, during one out of every 300 conversations. (Yes, this means that Ohioans swear at more than twice the rate of Washingtonians. Because when Ohioans do something, apparently, we put our goddamn minds to it.) We shouldn’t get too proud, however, since the same study found that we didn’t make the top five in saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. (The five states that did are, in order, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana, and Georgia. … Does this imply that Washington residents who curse a lot are ‘un-Washingtonian’? Possibly.)”
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Fuck no, Washington residents who curse aren’t un-Washingtonian, merely vulgar. I’ve often observed that conservatives polite to a fault. They say “please” and “thank you” when they grab you by the gonads and squeeze the juice out of you. It’s their behavior, not their manners, that suck. I guess they think being polite gives them license to behave badly. Maybe they learned this during their college frat-boy days.

So failed Republican Candidate for New York Legislature was all over Fox News (and then of course the circle jerk that is right-o-spere blognuts) telling the horror of his infant not being covered under ACA.
Whoops. Turns out the genius applied for coverage stating he has three kids when he has four. And rather than getting someone from his insurance on the phone he calls the “media.” The fact that the insurance exchange isn’t clairvoyant about his fourth child is of course unAmerican because….OBAMACARE!
You might suspect that Fox News will put any lunatic on the air with ZERO fact checking as long as they are willing to look at the camera and tell the audience how Obamacare is going to kill them and their puppies.
(Reminds me of a true story. When my second child was born I put him on my insurance but it was near the end of the year and about time to renew. In the new year, the policy info they sent me only listed my oldest child. It took about three minutes on hold with Blue Cross and a five minute conversation for them to see the error and get it fixed. I blame Obamacare because clearly the health insurance in America was 100% error free prior to January 2009 when a black dude became president.)

Roger Rabbit spews:
@9 How about slavery? Should that be left to the states, too?
http://newsone.com/2054824/rep.....r-slavery/
Roger Rabbit spews:
Speaking of slavery, not only do employers object to paying more than $7.25/hr. with no benefits, they also expect those minimum-wage workers to be available “on call” 24/7 — and work any shift, work rotating shifts, work split shifts, work holidays, etc.) — which means they can’t take a second job to help make ends meet.
When conservatives object to raising the federal minimum wage, they’re not really objecting to increasing the incomes of people making $15,000 a year. They’re objecting to increasing the incomes of people who may be making as little as $9,000 a year if they’re averaging 24 hours a week or less of paid time.
(And let’s not overlook those abusive employers who force their low-wage employees to work “off the clock,” i.e. for free.)
http://hamptonroads.com/2013/0.....clock-work
Here are two different views of requiring part-time workers to be available on a full-time basis:
“Using part-time workers increases flexibility and gives companies an ability to adjust to changing business conditions,” said Aparna Mathur, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
“It’s an extremely abusive and unfair practice,” said Carrie Gleason, executive director of the Retail Action Project (RAP).
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101244403
Predictably, business supporters cite the business advantages of the practice. (They also justify a low minimum wage and right-to-work laws on the same basis.) Justifiably, labor advocates see it as an abusive practice that needs to stop. One possible solution is to pass laws requiring employers to guarantee part-time workers regular shifts and pay them extra for any “on call” time (say, half their regular hourly wage).
This really isn’t a drastic proposal. Let’s say we raise the federal minimum wage to $10, which is merely parity with the 1968 minimum wage’s purchasing power, and require employers to pay half that rate for “on call” time. This means a part-time employee working 28 hours per work and expected to be available for up to 40 hours would be paid $340 per week (28 x $10 + 12 x $5) or $17,680 per year. That’s hardly unreasonable. Alternatively, an employer could offer a part-time worker 24 hours on a regular schedule, which would allow the worker to fill out his/her 40 hours by taking a weekend job. That would give the worker 40 hours of work at $10 or $20,800 a year. That’s fair for entry-level and low-skill work.
Roger Rabbit spews:
How can anyone object to a worker who is willing, able, and available to work full-time earning $17,680 to $20,800 a year?
But wait for it, conservatives will object, because even though they would never expect a business to sell its goods or services for below cost, nevertheless they somehow expect workers to sell their labor for less than what it costs them to live.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Providing part-time workers with regular and predictable shifts should pose no difficulties for businesses. If a part-time employee says, “I can’t work weekends because I have a second job,” all the employer has to do is hire another part-time worker who wants weekend work. It’s not that hard to compile a list of people willing to work specified hours on an on-call basis. Most or all of them will be people with other commitments, which is something employers can and should work around.
What is unreasonable is to say to a worker, “I want you to be available whenever I call you, but I won’t guarantee you any paid hours at all.” The job applicant who receives an employment offer like that should reply, “I’m sorry, but that doesn’t work for me, and I must decline your offer.” And then walk out, and never ask that employer for work again — or shop in his store.
Roger Rabbit spews:
An employment offer like that is like someone offering you $200,000 for your $400,000 house. In the real estate business, this is called a “lowball” offer, and it will get a prospective buyer and his agent kicked out of a negotiation without further ado.
In the employment sphere, expecting a worker to make himself available 24/7 with no guarantee of any minimum number of hours or any floor under his weekly pay also is a lowball offer, and it deserves exactly the same response.

If you don’t want marijuana to be legal, just say so.
Eighty years ago today, Prohibition ended, but not after giving us 13 years of lawlessness, government tyranny and organized crime. The “Noble Experiment” was a total disaster. We now are trying to end the useless “War on Drugs,” brought to us by the Crook-in-Chief, Richard M. Nixon. Our state’s vote to legalize recreational use of marijuana was a victory personal freedom against government tyranny.
I agree with Bill Clinton that states may choose to have marijuana legal, just a some states (and some counties today) kept alcohol illegal for a time after Prohibition officially ended at the federal level. Bill Clinton is no right-wing ideologue, and he’s definitely correct in his view about marijuana and individual states moving to decriminalize and eventually legalize marihuana.

They cannot rely on anyone else in the community for support because they assume they would be turned on in a heartbeat, cause that’s what they would do.

Naturally skipped over by schmucko-lunatic… Sounds just like a feminazi libtard type. Of course schmucko-lunatic can’t focus on men hating wimens. Too many of them live on the DUMMOCRETIN reservation!

puddibigot statement #1:
puddibigot statement #2:
Didn’t your Jesus command you to love your neighbor?
Didn’t your Jesus challenge you to take the plank out of your own eye?
Didn’t your Jesus challenge bloodthirsty vengeance by inviting those without sin to cast the first stone?
I don’t think your bragging about who you hate comports well with the sanctimonious religiosity you wear on your sleeve. Wait….I take that back, I suppose it does.

So?
Are you asserting that I have to agree with Roger all the time? Well, I don’t.
You assert his opinion as if it’s a rebuttal to my indictment of you for vicious hatred – and I didn’t mean of the serial killer, but of gman, and ‘dummocretins’ and all the other people you direct your white-hot (but impotent) rage toward.
Well, it’s not – your post is, once again, a misdirected, poorly thought-out, poorly argued, sputtering spittle-flecked yawp of rage.
You are a rage-filled, hate-filled gasbag with a tenuous grasp of the English language and an obvious inability to form a coherent progression of thoughts.

No, I cheered the ideal of the American judicial system, the one in which he is innocent until proven – in a court of law, by a prosecutor – guilty.
I also decried – this is where I branded you ‘puddibigot’ for the first time, I believe – your bloodthirsty cackling about torturing that child – and yes, in many ways 19-year-olds are children. It was especially heinous on your part because of the transparent MOOSLUM-hate that fueled your demands for torture.

Revert to form, puddibigot. You make my points for me every damn time.
No, Duncan’s mother was not a feminist. Nor a Nazi, most likely. Very unlikely a liberal, either. All your spinning trying to attach the stigma of a sick and deranged woman to your hated enemies only serves to illustrate what a nasty piece of work you are, and a third-rate mind.
You’ve chosen to completely avoid my analysis of Duncan….
…go on, have a shot at it. Prove it wrong, show us, in detail, how this, on the contrary, is a morality play that supports the violent prejudices you display on this blog every damn day.

Not when the “neighbor” continues to perform heinous sinful acts.
You truly don’t understand the Bible. Puddy can see you think of works first instead of God’s Son first.
Stoooooooooooooopid and we’re laughing again at schmucko-lunatic!

No but 100% of the time Roger makes more sense that you do. This is priceless too…
Proves beyond the shadow of doubt libtards don’t read and process other libtard commentary. schmucko-lunatic… for months gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeman would post his hetero hate spiels. Puddy remembers schmucko-lunatic, well you are a lunatic!
Puddy turns the tables on gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeman and you enter stooooooooooooooooooooopid mode… wait a minute… you are continually in stooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid mode!

You want to talk about penguins?? OK….
So, puddibigot, how did Noah get the Emperor Penguins from Antarctica, to Mesopotamia for the Ark cruise, and then back again?
Were there velociraptors, too, on the Ark?

So, you get to pick and choose which of your Jesus’s admonitions you get to follow?
I don’t remember any caveats to the “Love your neighbor” command.
Could you point to the words of Jesus which support this particular loophole you’re claiming?
Regarding Jesus shaming the would-be stone-throwers, with “He who is sinless…”, where is the hierarchy which allows you to decide to throw stones? That is, you seem to believe you can hate, and call for the execution of someone who has committed heinous wrongs – how wrong does the act have to be to allow you to be absolved of the ‘sinless’ designation before you can start casting stones?
Or is it just that it’s easier to break the rules when the sinner is really really hard to love?
That’s the point, isn’t it? Duncan is a child of God, worthy of our compassion and love, despite his grave moral wrongs. Shouldn’t we be more concerned with loving him and bringing him back to God, rather than calling for his execution? Isn’t that the Christian thing to do? Isn’t that the love that Jesus commanded all his followers to practice?
How do you call yourself a Christian, puddibigot, when you engage in such relentless, recurrent, bloodthirsty vengeance-lust?

This thread is just another example in a long line of them in which the puddibigot says outrageous, offensive stuff and runs away in shame when called on it.
Coward.
