Under Obama, the minimum wage increased to $7.25 in 2009 while Democrats controlled the House and had a filibuster proof Senate.Always good to get the brainwashed racist ignoramus Outlook..... So why are we the only modern country without a living wage healthcarecheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly taxing the rich more like their fair share? Thanks GOP and silly people like you. Oops brainwashed functionally silly....We don’t need Brits interfering in our elections.
Only an idiot would think it’s a good idea for the mouth breathers burning down our cities to go out and vote.
Very little of that changed under Obama. The minimum wage never changed. While some did health care, the costs continued to skyrocket.
He extended the Bush tax cuts while the rich flourished during his eight years and the poor fell further behind. That will only continue with Biden.
After that, Republicans have blocked minimum wage increases ever since
That was passed in 2007. The Obama administration had nothing to do with it.
His administration may not have but he did. He was in the Senate at the time and voted for it. I wouldn't be surprised if he sponsored the bill and worked to get it passed.
Look at that date. 2007. What was different then from the first 6 years of the bush boy administration?
The democrats controlled the House and the Senate.
When the republicans control things legislation is usually written for the rich and big business while the rest of us get screwed.
Eight years and he did nothing about the minimum wage. Obama's bailouts bailed out the rich. The poor suffered under his eight years.
He tried to do something about it but he wasn't in the congress when he was president. All he could do was support it and sign legislation when it reached his desk.
The first 2 years the republicans filibustered everything that went to the senate. Pelosi passed a lot of very good bills out of the House in those first 2 years only to see them die in the Senate by republican filibuster. The republicans took control in 2011. The last thing they did in those years was anything that helped America.
As for bail outs. The bush boy bailed out Wall Street, the banks and big business in the last months of his administration. With no restrictions, very little over sight and no rules.
Obama was elected, he put some rules on the bush boy's bail out.
Obama bailed out the car companies. Those were loans that were paid back with interest. America made money on Obama's bail out.
Obama also helped those of us who aren't big business and rich by programs to save homes, continued a tax cut for those who aren't rich, his cash for clunkers, extending food assistance and infrastructure jobs. Even though the republicans fought against it.
The poor suffered because the conservatives in congress refused to help. If you look at all the legislation that was passed by Pelosi in those first 2 years, you will see legislation that actually took away tax benefits from companies that sent our jobs overseas. You would have seen legislation that increased the minimum wage and a lot more. They all went to the Senate to die from republican filibuster.
Look below the propaganda, you'll see that things aren't what you think they are and could be much better if people took the time to find truth in this swamp of lies.
Read the link I posted and take it seriously. Trump is president today because of Obama.
