BTW, O'Reilly came out BIG TIME last night insisting that the GOP go along with Obama's 10.10 MW hike.

His logic: "There is nobody out there working at a job that isn't worth ten bucks an hour."

I think that's very shaky assertion on his part.

It is ridiculous to say that you can pay 10 bucks an hour in NYC and it equates to 10 bucks an hour in Baker, La.

The notion that one size fits all is a joke.

The Feds can set their own minimum wage standards and use sound economic formulas to do so. It's their prerogative, but in reality there is no magic number and if you're going to have a minimum wage (and it seems we have decided that we will); we need to let state and localities set their own.
