Issue: The Economy in regard to: Wages
But Wait A Minute! I Thought.

"Man, I'm at work trying to make a dollar and fifteen cent." I believe there was a song, that went something to the affect, of getting another day older and deeper in debt, but the effect is still the same. It says that no matter how much you work, you ain't earnin' crap to get by and this is what we were told since, since the second day George W. Bush took office. The economy is bad, tax cuts only helps Haliburton and his oil rich buddies, and George Bush doesn't care about the soooooo poor and sooooo black people...
Democrats take over both houses in Washington and the first thing that they want to...Well, third or fourth thing they want to do is raise the minimium wage, when studies show that it will have a negative effect on the public, consumers and the business, whether it be a small business or not. So now we're being fed two things, wages ain't crap and the crappy wages need to raised one or two dollars more, because the Bush economy is only geared for Haliburton, Cheney and his oil rich buddies.
But wait! And I'm putting my own interpretation on this, but if this country was going to hell with gas soaked undies on, by definition of the leftist democrats. Then why is the media glad to report that the wages are up and equal to 1997? I thought everything was bad!!

A brisk rise in American wages
Pay rose faster than the cost of living for the first time in years.

American paychecks are rising again at a pace not seen since the 1990s.
The pay increase amounts to 4 percent on average over the past 12 months, and it comes at a very helpful time for millions of households.
For three years, pay increases haven't kept pace with the rising cost of living. Then came this year's housing slowdown, which has further squeezed family finances. Those setbacks, however, are now being offset by rising income. Four percent may not sound like much, but you have to look back to 1997 to find a calendar year with a gain that big.
