You Want Fries Incompetence With That?

By Texas Rainmaker on Economy

Democrats are going to try and fast-track a minimum wage hike in January.

<<< Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to fast-track efforts to boost the federal minimum wage and could seek to bring a bill directly to the House floor in January.

The new Democrat-controlled 110th Congress convenes on Jan. 4 and Pelosi of California has made clear that raising the federal minimum wage is a top priority she wants the House to accomplish in its first 100 hours of legislative business. >>>

Last night I went to Taco Bell, and if there’s any place in our country you can go to see the best argument against raising the minimum wage, it’s a fast food restaurant. In addition to the barely-comprehendable English spoken over the drive-thru speaker, they completely botched my order… as usual. It’s not rocket science folks. I order a couple of tacos and a drink, you put them in a bag and hand them out the window. Yet, more times than not, such an easy task is apparently too difficult to complete accurately.

And Democrats want to reward this incompetence by forcing private employers to cough up more money for their paychecks. Great.
