WASHINGTON (AP) — A report by Congress' nonpartisan budget analysts seems to have thrown Democrats onto the defensive after it concluded that the party's drive to boost the federal minimum wage could cost a half-million jobs by 2016.
A Congressional Budget Office report released Tuesday concluded that a gradual increase to $10.10 hourly by that year — which is what President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are seeking — would increase pay for more than 16.5 million people, mostly those earning low wages. It also would lift 900,000 people over the federal poverty threshold, the study said.

It's time the democrats start listening to the GOP. It's quite clear that democrats are half witted. If they had listened to the GOP with regards to obamacare there wouldn't be this billion dollar boondoggle we now have. Democrats just need to face the facts. They are intellectually inferior. It's a genetic thing.
