In reply to the discussion: Clinton Camp says She's Been Forced to the Left Enough Already [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)28. My guess is it's not that easy to obtain.
Clinton's proposal of $12/hour was a trial balloon to see if Republicans would bite. What we should all be pushing for is indexing the minimum wage to the cost of living. Then we'd never need to fight this battle again.
And please don't say -as others have- that starting with a lower number is a sin against the art of negotiation. Republicans in Congress are not rational creatures. You can't treat them as such.

I think the Wall Street speeches are hidden because she pandered to Wall Street.
