He makes some good points! More money in workers pockets. President Obama took his economic message on the road a day after his State of the Union address to rally support for new policies he says will bolster the middle class and fight income inequality. The middle class has been taking it on the chin since before the recession, said Obama at a suburban Lanham, Md. Costco store and called for lawmakers to raise the minimum wage. Its time to give America a raise, said the president. Keeping with that approach on Tuesday, he announced that he would raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $10.10, and pressed Congress to raise the minimum wage for all workers. $10.10 its easy, said Obama at Costco. It will give businesses more customers with more money to spend, he continued. I guarantee if workers have a little more money in their pocket, theyll spend more money at Costco and if Costco sees more customers theyll hire a few more folks. http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama...source=weeklystandard.com&utm_medium=referral
