aggiesal: Rupublicans filibuster minimum wage bill in the Senate
Donald (@Dymodon): HARRY REID BROUGHT UP BILL KNOWING HE HAD NO CHANCE OF PASSING UNLESS HE AGREED TO AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL HE REFUSED ....
aggiesal: Yup, and now it's on record for Republicans to defend during election season.
Donald (@Dymodon): REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE PROUD OF TRYING TO KEEP INFLATION IN CHECK. HAVE YOU SEEN COST OF GROCERIES & FUEL LATELY
Donald (@Dymodon): PROGRESSIVE AND LIBERTY DONT BELONG IN THE SAME NAME. MORE LIKE MARXIST AND PROGRESSIVE
aggiesal: Stats don't show that. 10% minimum wage hike produces a cost increase of less than 1/10th of 1% of sales revenue.
Donald (@Dymodon): MORE LIKE 30% BUT I FORGET LIBERALS DON'T DO MATH WELL
aggiesal: 39.3% actually. So let's just say 40%. Which means 4/10th of 1%. For a $10 meal that's only 16 cents. Liberals do math really well.
Donalds' use of all uppercase is exactly how it was sent.
It amazed me that Donald reverted to name calling very quickly.
First by equating progressives to marxism.
Second by claiming that Liberals don't do math well.

(19,877 posts)Reverted to calling you names so quickly and types in ALL CAPS??? That's their entire modus operandi. I wish they only resorted to name calling for me, I get death threats, rape threats, have had my address exposed, names of my 2 kids, job location, etc. They are fucking PSYCHOTIC SOCIOPATHS.

(82,849 posts)I take it he's really upset about the 50 or so votes to "repeal" "Obamacare" that the House has held, knowing full well that the Senate isn't going to take up companion legislation, and that even if a bill got to the President, he'd veto it so fast, the bill would spontaneously combust on its way back to Boehner. Right?
By the way, the reason prices are up is because of poor planning and unsustainable practices, not inflation. In fact, the U.S. could do with a little inflation as a means of lessening the impact of the deficit (another conservative bugaboo that only rears its head when Democrats are in power) and putting more purchasing power into the hands of consumers with a raise in the minimum wage. That's a tide that truly would lift some boats.
