The Executive Orders Begin: Obama To Lift Minimum Wage For Federal Contractors
 [Ynet] President Barack Obama
I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go ...
will announce on Tuesday he is issuing an executive order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for federal contract workers with new contracts, the White House said.
| Ensuring they stay in the D column forever. |
In his State of the Union address, Obama will call on Congress to pass a bill that would increase the federal minimum wage for all workers. The executive order for new contracts or existing contracts in which terms are being changed would take effect at the beginning of next year. Issuing the order allows Obama to bypass Congress' Republican opposition.
| Clearly, a law is needed mandating that total federal payroll costs cannot increase more than an increase of tax receipts or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower, followed by Wisconsifying federal union rules. Of course that will cement federal employees in the D camp, but some things can't be helped. |
