| Might as well be $225. per hour if there are no jobs. California Democratic congresswoman Barbara Lee expressed support for a $26 minimum wage in her state -- a move Republican congressman Andy Harris encouraged, assuming jobs would rapidly flee California to his state of Maryland. Lee and Harris appeared Friday on CNN's "Crossfire," hosted by former Obama advisor Van Jones and former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. The panel discussed the proposed increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour. |

| #2 Hell, Why not make it $100 an hour, she can't realize that prices would follow it immediately, $100 Big Macs would be the norm. For that matter why not $1000 dope deals,(Minimum Wage) it's not WHAT the people are paid, it' what part of it they save. |
