Totally convinced Sanders knows and wants robots to take jobs so there are even more people dependent on the government - pushing us toward a UBI.

I know these guys can’t be stupid enough to not know that constantly trying to raise wages to keep up with inflation will never work, because raising the wages, makes the inflation worse.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, on Thursday unveiled a proposal to raise the national minimum wage to $17 an hour.


This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld, where Kramer goes on strike at the bakery to make more than minimum wage. They strike for years, and when the company finally gives it to them, it’s the new minimum wage!

LOL.. When Sanders was running for President it came out that he wasn't paying his staff minimum wage.. His response was "we can't afford it". But he wants others to pay/afford it... Typical POS liberal. Do as I say not as I do.

$17 is not a living wage today. I couldn't imagine supporting a family on $17.

You'd have to work 80 hours per week.

And by "family", they mean 2 gay lovers and no kids.

I’m starting to think Bernie enjoys inflation.

All this without any economic ideas or thoughts on what costs increases would do to costs of finished goods

Didn't the Democrats say that the last increase back in 2007/8-ish was going to "fix the problem"?


Minimum wage laws will never fix any problem.
