A ideological obsession of Peter's. He believes that raising the minimum wage will cause a recession. Just one of many myths that live in extreme right wingnut land.

"what is this Pelosi-Reid thing anyway???"

Every previous increase in the minimum wage was followed by a recession. Pelosi/Reid passed a triple whammy increase in the minimum wage to ensure that the economy will suffer the recession effects for several years.

Some leftwing extremists are trying to use partisan hack reasoning to try to pin the blame for Pelosi and Reid's actions on someone else.
