4. then call bernie also - he voted along with manchin....

Sanders, the Senate Budget chairman, successfully defused a fight late Thursday over Biden’s proposal to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

At issue was a non-binding budget amendment from Senator Joni Ernst, an Iowa Republican, that opposed raising the wage “during a global pandemic.”

While Sanders said he still intends to increase the wage to $15 an hour in the virus relief package, he said his plan always called for a five year phase-in. He said the $15 wage would be in place five years from now, not during the pandemic itself, so he would support Ernst’s amendment.

7. Yep call bernie as well. Incremental is a feel-good cheap trick

[SheltieLover]

9. Sure is!

$15 is not even a living wage!

Housing is too expensive for $15/hour to be sufficient!

And a 5-year phase in? In 5 years $15 per hour would need to be doubled...

Sickening!

13. how so? It's what MA is doing and it is almost there....

MA will be at $15 in 2 years. We also had a five year ramp. Guess where we would be without a 5 year ramp?

Bitterness is not a solution.

15. Neither is complacency

[SheltieLover]

8. 5-year phase in for $15/hour? Wow!

I doubt either of these men ever tried to exist on min wage.

Disgraceful!

14. The only way to over come something like this is to gain more of a Senate majority, and that

most likely occur in less red states than West Virginia.
