DEMs trying to sneak $15/hr minimum wage into the Covid relief bill.

[MarathonMike]

I downloaded the 591 page Covid Relief Package for some casual reading. Look what I found on page 45! The scumbag Democrats trying to sneak the $15 Minimum wage law through amongst all the other PORK that is typical of a Democrat Omnibus spending bill. I'm still reading but I haven't seen much yet for direct Covid relief. I've heard only 10% of the bill is actually for Covid relief.

Here is the copy of page 45 of the bill:

45 Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d) with respect 1to the COVID–19 pandemic.’’. 2Subtitle B—Labor Matters 3SEC. 2101.

Yes, it's in there but Biden has already said not getting as part of the Covid bill was not a deal breaker. Try again.

Bernie's got another, concurrent plan: eliminate all tax deductions from corporations not paying at least $15 minimum wage.

 

[Blackrook]

Democrats just made up that number. Might as well be $100.

Scum like you would oppose it even if it was only $1.00

Care to translate that ? We speak English here.

It being there is what matters, not the sneaking.

Then why did the OP lie about the sneaking????
Just for the Trumpian pleasure of lying?????

Everybody knows it's a delay tactic.

Got any other bright ideas on how to kill the economy?

Want to increase taxes (or eliminate deductions) ? Leave the corporations alone. There are better targets who guzzle too much $$$ and don't pay enough tax>>

 

[protectionist]

Democrats are keeping us from getting the stimulus checks$$$. The ones Biden bragged we would get if he became president.

Minimum wage is only one non-Covid piece of junk among many more.

I've heard that the COVID relief bill signed back in December contained a request that the Pentagon brief Congress on all it knows about UFO's within 6 months.

Nice dodge. The point is, the scumbag Democrats tried to jam it in along with the pork fest that is the rest of the "Emergency Covid Relief Bill".

The Senate Parliamentarian just told the DemonRats to take a hike.

So you want it all your way. Biden left wiggle room and it looks like that wiggle room means that by mid Mar it will get passed without the 15 buck piece. You have gotten so used to "If you don't get your way, just burn it to the Ground" type GOP. 4 years of this nonsense, you can't stand it that people are cooperating. Sorry, we don't allow you to burn it to the ground anymore.

Actually, there is a comprimise. And that is how things are supposed to happen.
