Discussion: Tom Cotton, Mitch McConnell Soften On Minimum Wage Opposition

Discussion for article #227304

“The minimum wage should be a floor and a stepping stone to higher wage jobs, not a ceiling,” he said.

Exactly. That’s why we call it “the minimum wage,” and not “the maximum wage.” My goodness, Republicans are smart.

btw, congrats on the witty headline, TPM.

I’m surprised he’s willing to stick his neck out on this issue.

Nooo…Really? Could it have anything to do with the fact that Beaker is one of the most despised politicians in Kentucky and Cotton is on his way to becoming the latest Teabagger to blow a Sure Thing?

“I’ll do whatever, just don’t make me get a real job!”

And I’m sure John Boehner will be screaming “politics” just like he did with President Obama’s decision to wait until after the elections to decide whether to take executive action on immigration.
