Endnotes 1. States can set their minimum wages above or below the federal level, and the higher of the two applies to covered workers (the vast majority of the low-wage workforce is covered by minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act). Ten states and the District of Columbia have minimum wages that exceed that of the federal government: Alaska ($6.15), California ($5.75), Connecticut ($6.15), Delaware ($5.65), D.C. ($6.15), Hawaii ($5.25), Massachusetts ($6.00), Oregon ($6.50), Rhode Island ($5.65), Vermont ($5.75), and Washington ($6.50). From the same report. The standard of living and indeed the cost varies from state to state. The better way is to leave the issue to individual states, unless we want the Federal Government to increasingly micro-manage our lives.

Re: the debates : "The parties still need to settle details, including whether the candidates should stand or sit; if sitting, should they be around a table or on stools; who should moderate; and should there be a town hall meeting with questions from voters, among others." What? Now Duh doesn't want the nation to see if his knees were knocking? Of course, the candidates should stand. No tables or stools... or crutches. However, if Duh's people want a portable potty, they should be provided one! <g> And there should be questions from voters, of course. Duh has to realize that this is an exam that he cannot pass by reciting memorized answers. Both candidates have to be grilled by us the voters and may the better man win!
