Thank your dems for the unemployment rate. With the increase of the minimum wage comes job loss. The minimum wage was increase from around 5 to 7 dollars an hour. That means that what 4 employees could be paid to do, now has to be done by 3 to keep the payroll the same. Not to mention that this is primarily responsible for the increase of everything else that is produced by an employee somewhere. Most union jobs are tied to the minimum wage, whether it be 3,4 or 5 times the minimum wage rate. Basically the dems gave us higher cost of living. That seemed good at the time, but as always they do not consider the long term effects of their policies. But as usual, the just blame Bush crowd comes in and tries to cover up the real reasons for why our economy that as was stated earlier had 4 % unemployment when the dems took over congress in 2006 and now is the highest that it has ever been since the Bush admin took over from the floundering Clinton years.
