Seriously!

OK, so we have a Congress who seems to think that attaching a minimum wage increase to the Iraq funding plan is a good idea. What!? That just shows a Congress who isn't thinking seriously about the people in this country since they knew ahead of time the President has said he will veto it. Do they think that by putting a measure on the bill that everyone is for is going to change his veto? Seriously, Congress needs to stop playing politics with Americans future and start putting bills on the floor and sending them to the President as individual bills. Pork barrell projects, appending bills completely unrelated to the primary legislation and the like seems like a complete waste of time and money and here's another good example of wasted time. If Congress is serious about this minimum wage increase, send the bill to the President for his signature without attaching it to something else, especially something they have foreknowledge will be vetoed.

Why not abolish poverty and make the minimum wage a billion dollars an hour?
