Has no chance in hell of passing.

They are trying to distract the people and make them forget that the 4 horsewomen are the face of the DNC.

People will not forget.

2020 will suck for them.

Democrats believe in government artificially affecting the minimum wage and attempting to control the economy....which resulted in the piss-poor Obama economic record ... whereas Trump has proven that successful economic policies allow the free market economy and citizens of the US to grow the strongest US economy in DECADES.

Democrats are completely clueless with regards to the economy.

Most employers pay their workers an adequate wage. It's the menial jobs that pay the minimum. And those jobs are usually held by unskilled and/or uneducated people.Many teenagers used to work at fast food and other similar places. If the $15 minimum wage is somehow passed, many people will lose their jobs.

The grocery store clerk will be replaced with self-checkout stations... Bank Tellers will be replaced with ATM's... Even the gas station clerk can be replaced with automated machines...

Companies will find a way to rid themselves of the unskilled worker...

The trouble with Democrats is they forget that if you start near the top, you lose your ambition to rise up from what you had before. And people will feel unhappy when their children with exposure to adult pay may squander excess earnings on drugs. Right now, there are a lot of opioids being brought into the country but the one called fentanyl over the border that kill 300 people a week. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer. The stronger strain, illegally imported over the border is the killer of a lot of America's illegal drug users between the ages of 13-24. Now Democrats don't have to stop with aborting American unborn citizens, they can go after America's youth, too by getting rid of the older children in this country. They think they can fool everyone. Sad for America.

This is the Dems version of the Repubs repealing ObamaCare every couple of months. They know it will never see the light of day in the Senate.

A national minimum wage is a terrible idea on top of a the terrible idea that any minimum wage law already is.

There is too much disparity between cost of living among the 3000 plus counties in the US. What 10 bucks gets you one place might only get you 3 bucks worth somewhere else.

Democrats are desperate to find a way to wreck Trump's booming economy, and figure raising the minimum wage will have a negative impact on new jobs and business growth. ...

You are half right, pay should be based upon productivity as well as the uniqueness of your skill set and your ability to preform a job.

It is not too much money for the majority of Americans, as the majority of Americans already make more than that

That is not entirely correct.

Pay should be based on the value that the job brings to the company.

So a worthless fuck who cant do much more than flip a burger or burn French fries, now get $15 an hour? Liberals love to bankrupt small businesses or put millions out of work, or both.

The CBO estimates that the $15 minimum wage will wipe out 1.3M jobs (or 3.7M at the high end) - so of course the Dems favor it.

Minimum wage bill could eliminate 1.3 million jobs, CBO says

Want higher wages? Stop allowing the invasion of our borders which forces employers to fight for workers and therefore wages rise. You can't have higher wages and then allow people in who WILL work for LOWER wages...makes no sense.
