jumped on. some up to 15. some over 9.

that will help anyone going further. who knows where sanders would land.

that is something to see

regardless, my point is. this is not a all or nothing some total. you see sanders doing more. and obama still addressed it.

i prefer the 15 also. that was not the start of the conversation with minimum wage back in early 2009. that has not even become part of the discussion until recently with washington state.

i wont right off tomorrow, before i have gotten to tomorrow. and i will certainly not argue tomorrow today, as if it is fact.

sanders going to 15 is one of the reasons i support him

along with other things.

i am also not going to be a fool arguing obama and clinton do not have the same position of increase in minimum wage.
