GOVERNOR O'MALLEY RELEASES STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

ANNAPOLIS, MD  -- Governor O’Malley released the following statement on President Obama's State of the Union address:

“President Obama’s focus on strengthening and growing our middle class tonight was right-on. In Maryland, we share many of the President’s priorities, including expanding opportunity, creating high-paid and high-skilled jobs, and lifting more people out of poverty by raising the minimum wage.”

“The only way we will grow our economy is by growing our middle class. It’s time for the Republican Congress to acknowledge this fundamental truth and work with the President to move our country forward.”

Words. Only words. Nothing more.

People are hurting - they needs jobs, not welfare.

Words are meaningless.

Growing our middle class by raping our middle class - how does that work, exactly?

It is just common knowledge that raising the minimum wage would grow the middle class...forcing employers to pay a little more in wages simulates their sales and grows their business so they rush to hire more workers. The real question is how high a minimum wage is necessary to really grow the middle class. Are we all crazy or what.

"In Maryland, we share many of the President’s priorities"

This in itself is the problem. Clean Annapolis out come the next election.

10:10 - Please skip the "common knowledge" and get educated. Four minutes reviewing a nobel laureate in economics on this subject may provide some insight on where you have bought in to this myth. Milton Friedman - minimum wage, Youtube. Better than a Stanford education! Your welcome.

O'Malley knows that the feel good hand out blame everyone else for their problems Government indoctrinated political correct ignorant generation voted for Obama and him. therefore he must spin the continued lie to keep getting the votes. Economics 101 raising minimum wage on entry level jobs increases inflation and in effect nullifies the pay increase.
