Biden minimum wage proposal could lift more than 1 million workers out of poverty //
From CBS:
The CBO also estimated the move would cost 1.3 million American jobs, a claim long made by conservative economists. Mr. Biden’s call to boost the minimum wage to $15 an hour “is the absolute last thing that unemployed workers need right now,” Michael Farren, an economist with the right-leaning Mercatus Center at George Mason University, said in an email. “After all, they can’t benefit from higher wages if those higher wages result in slower job growth.” //

We need to pull a million people slightly over this arbitrary poverty line so we can put 1.3 million out of work & into poverty. Great work Joe & CBS! //

Hell, then he should raise it to $50 and raise everyone out of poverty, since there's no downside and no one would lose their jobs, especially now. #EconomicIlliterates
