Interesting how the Republican Senators from the Honda and BMW states think that by LOWERING someone's wages they can help our economy "recover." But that's the old "Grapes of Wrath" modus operandi, isn't it? When enough folks are out of work, the ownership class can keep lowering wages until people are fighing each other to work for food. And by God, the rich people and the "investing class" would love to do just that, again.
When was the last time members of the House and Senate took a wage and benefits cut?
At some point, Democrats in Congress are going to have to confront Republicans and make them actually filibuster. Or, maybe better yet, completely do away with this situation where 60 votes are now needed to pass any kind of controversial legislation.
