ICYMI: $15 Minimum Wage Spike Would Cost Nearly 1.5 Million American Jobs, CBO Confirms
Go figure.


Democrats are proud to remain ignorant on politics, economics and history. That’s a deadly combination, considering the radical left controls the White House and both chambers of Congress.
The whole “raising the minimum wage” argument is simple: if wages go up, businesses will be forced to raise prices on customers to make ends meet, while also cutting workers’ hours or stop hiring altogether.
Who wins in that scenario, Dems?
Trending: Fauci Thinks It Is ‘Inexplicable’ That Texas Is Re-Opening Businesses, Ending Mask Mandate

You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.In a report released Monday, the Congressional Budget Office said that hiking the minimum wage to $15 might reduce poverty, but at the cost of 1.4 million jobs and by adding billions to the federal deficit.
President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have both pledged to back legislation raising the federal minimum wage to $15 — what both the president and the socialist Senator call a “living wage.” Initially, both Biden and Sanders wanted to include the minimum wage hike in an upcoming COVID-19 economic relief package, but with Democrats intent on passing that bill through “reconciliation,” it may have to be offered separately.
[…]
The jump would “cut employment by 1.4 million workers and increase the federal deficit by $54 billion over a decade,” the outlet notes. And while federal spending on things like supplemental food aid programs might decrease, “spending on Medicaid and unemployment benefits would increase because of higher enrollment by those who lose their jobs.” Prices on goods and services would also rise, The Wall Street Journal adds.
It could not be easier to defeat a liberal argument. All you have to do is use their own words against them.
For example, Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was upset that she had to pay $7 for a croissant – as anyone would be.
But how is it so hard for AOC to see why she’s paying $7?
A basic lesson in economics should have Ocasio-Cortez understanding that when minimum wages rise, so do the costs of goods.
Hasn’t she ever heard of supply and demand?
LOOK:
Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE 😱
Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??

Reactions:
Bless your heart.
The croissants at LaGuardia are going for $7 because people continue to purchase them.
If the consumer wasn't buying the product, then the business would lower costs.
People living in socialist countries don't get croissants; they have to eat their pets.

The inflated price of food at the airport is caused by the extremely overpriced retail space, which in turn is managed by the city of New York. Maybe you should find way to lower taxes instead of creating more ways to grab people’s money.

It’s almost like you have the option of not buying one.

They’ll be $30.00 a piece if you raise minimum wage to $15 you economic genius.

You're flying? But I thought you were getting rid of the airplanes? YOU SAID THE WORLD IS ENDING IN 12 YEARS.

AOC then fired off another tweet after being resoundingly mocked, as per usual…
GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of a croissant – it’s about the value of human worth.
But I guess that idea is foreign to them since their policies treat people as disposable anyway 🤷🏽♀️

Fauci Thinks It Is ‘Inexplicable’ That Texas Is Re-Opening Businesses, Ending Mask Mandate
Go home, doc. The adults got it from here!


Have you wondered yet how the flu just happened to magically disappear? That’s not opinion. It is fact, apparently. In the words of Matthew McConaughey’s character from “Wolf of Wall Street,” the flu is fugazi (it’s a woozy, it’s a wazzy…fairy dust). If you still don’t believe that people are assigned covid, then you’re not paying attention. Here’s a quick example, for ya: This author knows a person who went to get tested, the place ended up taking too long so she had to leave early (without being tested) – she later received a notice that she tested positive. Funny how that worked out, huh? Check out Fauci ripping Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) for daring to get his state back on track… https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1367510351827369985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1367510351827369985%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2021%2F03%2Ffauci-rips-texas-governor-reopening-businesses-ending-mask-mandate-video%2F From Fox News: Texas’s Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday said he planned to open the state next week “100%,” roughly a year after the coronavirus pandemic broke out throughout the U.S. Abbott issued an executive order that rescinds many of the state’s previous orders, allowing all businesses in the state to fully reopen and revoking the statewide mask mandate as of next Wednesday.

Leaked Docs Show Migrants are Overwhelming Border Agents Thanks to Joe’s Policies
This is what 80 million people voted for!??


If you voted for a pro-choice, anti-American, beta male, weak-on-the-border presidential candidate last November, who hurt you as a child? Who taught you so poorly in your youth? Shame shame. From Axios: Fresh internal documents from the Department of Health and Human Services show how quickly the number of child migrants crossing the border is overwhelming the administration’s stretched resources. Driving the news: In the week ending March 1, the Border Patrol referred to HHS custody an average of 321 children per day, according to documents obtained by Axios. That’s up from a weekly average of 203 in late January and early February — and just 47 per day during the first week of January. The same documents, dated Tuesday, say the shelter system is at 94% occupancy and expected to reach its maximum this month. LOOK: H/T: Right Scoop
