If you have no understanding of economics, like 99% of liberals, then I'm sure you think this is a great idea.

Those that understand economics know this means that less people will be working, less benefits, and additional costs on good and services.

Bingo

99% of liberals understand economics? wow, ok, can you tell OWS?

Wny are you clapping at this? what's wrong with 100 dollar jerseys and high paid atheletes? you jealous bro?

go obama go

Yea great idea 9 dollars an hour to some asshole who flips a burger or some idiot teenager who can't count back the correct change.

Sorry but these minimum wage jobs are for people just starting out or people who are too dumb to realize they need to do something about there life. Why should a business owner have to pay someone with no skills a higher wage to do a job that is not meant for someone with the ability to make something better of themselves. How did that person earn it?

I'll say it again...the markets will determine the fate of of government intervention, not government intervening in the market.

Argentina freezes prices to break inflation spiral

Do you seriously think $9.00 an hour is alot? Have you ever tried to live on that wage? It's pitiful and still below the poverty line.

People are suffering! And the sad part is that even tho it's an improvement, it's not going to help all that much because it's still too low compared to the actual cost of living in this country.

I can't believe some of you americans deny others the right to a living wage, or in this case not even that. Mind blowing!

Try blaming the real issue of no jobs here, which is these fat cats corporate billionaires sending all our jobs overseas! That's the real problem, not the poor jerk making minimum wage and trying to honestly work for a living!

No wonder so many turn to crime to pay the bills cause this is ridiculous and other americans don't even stand behind their own. Really makes me sick.
