re: #280 Gus

No one is talking about $15/hr anyway. At best we’re looking at slightly over $10/hr and that would be by 2016. 3 years from now. Some states are going higher and close to $15 but that’s also 3 years from now. Obama’s proposal remains at slightly over $10/hour and again that would be years away.

Hell, if I really wanted to be demanding, I’d say slightly above $10 and then going one better by requiring it to rise with inflation. Phased in wage increases that then sit there for another 3 years before another phase-in period is not cutting it. Just to give the minimum wage today the buying power is had in the 60s would mean raising it to just under $11. In a year, it could be $12.
