Democratic Senate aides say the Senate parliamentarian has ruled against including a minimum wage increase in the Democrats’ massive COVID-19 relief bill

Democrats have said they could still pursue a minimum wage boost in free-standing legislation or attach it to legislation expected later this year that is to be aimed at a massive infrastructure program, another Biden priority.

Democrats could choose to bust through decades of Senate precedent, ignore the parliamentarian’s view and keep the minimum wage provision in the bill with their 51 votes. But moves like that are anathema to many Senate traditionalists like Biden, a 36-year veteran of the chamber, and would invite tit-for-tat retaliation by Republicans.

Republicans solidly oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs. They also oppose the overall relief bill, saying it’s too expensive, not targeted enough at people and businesses that most need it and a grab bag of gifts for Democratic allies.

Why...and what's her REASONING FOR NOT INCLUDING THE MINIMUM WAGE IN THE COVID 19-BIL..ANYONE HAVE AN ANSWER🤔

Stop worrying about the wage increase. The top 1% already got their 2T$ in tax cuts. They can more than afford to give the same to the 99%. To be fair, it should be 200T.

Why?

KamalaHarris deliver on your promise, what you Campaigned on FightFor15 and put this parliamentarian ElizabethMacDonough in her place, you have the Power

What on earth is a parliamentarian

Why was this hidden in the covid relief instead of being its own bill? If people are so confident it'll pass then make it its own bill.

Another tactic to delay the stimulus checks

FightFor15 dontkillitbernie

There is no need for a minimum wage increase of this magnitude, not only that but there is no need to tag it onto something like a relief package. This will hinder businesses that are struggling already with the pandemic.

😂

So he backstabbed us on the checks and the wages.

The parliamentarian has spent too much time next to the podium! The parliamentarian needs to take a walk down main street and see what’s going on!

If nothing else, Dems, VP Harris, President Biden, & Progressives can get a lot of mileage out of Repubs’ objections & blocks for 2022. Pre-Biden Dems would’ve “Oh welled” & moved on, but Biden, et al., have been very smart about reframing & using these opportunities.

The people whining that Biden isn't fixing everything fast enough seem to forget there's multiple large groups of people that have to be mostly satisfied with a bill before it passes.

The democrats control the house and the senate. Haha! They can’t blame the democracyrepubs this time. If it isn’t voted in- it’s yallsfault! liarsalwayslying

Well, this will call for seats to be lost in 2022. And these knuckleheads always wonder why they lose.

Fire the Parliamentarian. That’s what W did.

Parliamentarian is an advisory roll. Don’t let Harris and Biden con you. Harris has the deciding vote and nothing can stop them from including the $15 in the aid package

IT'S HAPPENING ANYWAY IN THE HOUSE: The package that will be voted on by the House today will include the minimum wage hike. “House Democrats believe that the minimum-wage hike is necessary,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement. ~Washington Post

Does this make my mcburger more expensive or no

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer HouseDemocrats SenateDems Time is NOW for each & every one of you to donate $15 per month to a minimum wage fund for hungry, struggling Americans receiving less than a living wage. Raising minimum wage starts w/our elected officials making it happen.

For once, news of some rational thought and practice comes out of DC. If this is something that is to be discussed, so be it, but in the correct setting. This bill is not that.

Thank the lord there is a way to keep these lunatic dems in check for another 2 years. They will literally destroy the country in an attempt to equalize everything. Sad part is they just don’t get it, nothing is fair or equal. Hard work is a forgone thought for them.

Let’s take a closer look at the things McConnell and the Republicans snuck into their bills.

doesnt matter, this is just a suggestion and not law.

The SenateGOP

Y’all full of shyt! Costco paying $16 an hour now and not waiting 5 dam years to get it done!!!!

The lack of anything from the senate is amazing. Awaiting soo much time for some sort of stimulus to Citizens and doing so little. TwitterNYC TwitterSF SenateGOP

Kamala can overrule the parliamentarian. there is no excuse

Not as much as the money given to the Millionaires in Congress and out.

Democrats just lost the midterm election they have fucked up once again, these people cannot do the right thing to save themselves. America has turned into a shameful joke of a country

Fine. Introduce a separate bill.

So, fire them. The GQP has in the past so they could push through unpopular tax 'reforms.'

So, 50/50 the vote and let the VP kick it over. Who are they to SAY what can and can’t be in something now?

Bipartisan my a**.

I believe the Senate Parliamentarian made a finding, not a ruling. There is a differnce.

🗣Who in the bell bottom hell is this🇺🇸senate parliamentarian? 👀Stop the damn madness of constantly strewing over law binding tax paying working poor citizens. The truth of the matter $15 is TOO DAMN LOW‼️YOU’LL DAMN RATCHET GREED FILLED OUT OF TOUCH, POWER DRUNKEN OFFICIALS🤡🤡

Didn't congress just vote to give themselves a big pay raise? 🤔

as they shouldn't. it would mess up a lot

Why are republicans against more money for workers? Wouldn’t more money for the American people mean more spending? And if more people spend, our economy would increase, right? I know nothing about economics or business but this seems simple enough.

15 bucks an hour is all you get for breaking your back and slinging boxes all day at Amazon. Come to think of it, it's also still all you get if you get 'promoted.'

So many actors. Who to believe Who to trust? Nothing make sense? Actors/Traitors everywhere. Corporations, the financial sector, Hollywood, local and national news, Think tanks, Philanthropists, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube... Search for truth ThinkSmartActBrave newsmax

I’m fully in support of 15 dollar minimum wage...and it shouldn’t be baked into the COVID relief package.

lmao

Fine. Like in Florida, turn it into a ballotinitiative in all states in time for the mid-term elections. Should pass most places, and drive turnout toward Dem candidates and other progressive issues on the ballot.

At this point, though I fully support an increase, people need help NOW. Do the relief bill, than tackle the increase later on.

For the first tome im w the republicans on this one. NO INCREASE IN MINIMUM WAGE!!!

Can’t blame Republicans ,it’ll be interesting to see who the Dems blame for this one. A federal judge also ruled yesterday that Biden’s Executive Order stopping deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of felonies was unconstitutional, so its not a good week for them so far.

These people get paid, like, $100k a year. I don't wanna hear their shitty ass opinion about what's consider a 'livable' wage. Clearly they had never worked a labor intense job. Prices'll keep going up. The opponents of the bill are feeding everyone lies so they can keep us poor

If minimum wage doesn't increase immediately, we will see a sharp increase in violent crime as desperate people take what's needed to survive.

dem senators can tell the parliamentarian to kick rocks, but they won't

This country is a f*cking joke. Sure we have $ for the military and air strikes but raising the minimum wage for regular people just trying to get by in life NO WAY!! Disgusting.

Well sounds like these companies that have been living off those huge tax break need to pay up for the 15. The cost of living is no longer able to support the $7. 25 cost of living.

This means nothing. Kinda like the subpoenas served to the orange clown cabinet members.

Seems to me that a minimum wage hike would increase tax revenues and money for social security and Medicare. So I would think it IS a budget issue. SenatorDurbin SenSchumer SenateGOP SenateDems

KamalaHarris can overrule her

You spelled 'The Senate parliamentarian ruled a minimum wage change cannot be included in the budget reconciliation process.' wrong. She didn't rule against Democrats or for Republicans. She ruled on the budget reconciliation process.

How about the stuff not related to covid stimlus.

Weren't stimulus checks gonna go out right away?

Hey Democrats, don't worry about the minimum wage right now. Get relief out there until people can actually return to their jobs. Duh

No increase. A startup might not be able to afford the increase. A person can look for employment else where. freemarkets How about we reduce the tax amount to keep more money in peoples pocket. AOC

Are we really surprised? of course there not raising the starving poverty wages why America is run by billionaires not the American people so keep voting for trash senators that are in the pockets of there donors until then the working class will keep taking loses thanks Biden!!!

Fair enough, keep it to it’s own bill.

That's bullshit. VP Overrule the Senate parliamentarian. We voted for you to get shit done, not to demur because of 'rules'. The GOP doesn't demur to rules.

You know what would be better? LOWERING FEDERAL TAXES That would put more money in everyone's pockets without being detrimental to small businesses. I know I would love to have an extra 10% of my money not stolen by the govt.

Massive meaning it’s full of pork

Beautiful this warms not only my heart but also my soul 🙌🏻

I'm glad! Wages should be based, at least, on merit, locale and business strategies and not on federal interference!

At this point it's fuck the senate

1) More than doubling the minimum wage is as reckless as it gets 2) It does not belong in an economic relief bill

Moral is no more. There are a lot of people that are 18-37 years old who have nothing but college debt, and most likely an addiction.

So... so ok So you can give billionaires all of our federal tax dollars. Because that affects federal spending But you can't mandate that the billionaires YOU GAVE ALL OF OUR TAX DOLLARS TO, pay their workers more WITH OUR MONEY THAT YOU GAVE THEM Okay. All right. Okay.

SenSchumer Do we need a rule change?

So what? Overrule it.

Where was this ho during the Trump years?

I don't know the technicalities, but I agree with this. I am for the minimum wage hike, I am for the stimulis package, but they shouldn't be in the same bill.

Honestly? Good. The minimum wage HAS to be moved up to a working wage, but if it was included in this bill then that would make it just one more reason the GOP could hold up Covid aid and not take too big of public perception hit for it.

Who was the Sebate parliamentarian when the GQP was scribbling in the margins of a major tax bill?

The Constitution gives the Vice President the power to decide whether the $15 minimum wage can pass through reconciliation. The parliamentarian’s opinion is advisory, which VPs have disregarded before. Do not let anyone tell you that we do not have the power to pass $15 wage.

anybody feeling played yet?

This takes any longer were going to have to eat the rich!

Fine. Separate bill. Pass this shit already

The GOP is very confident they can defeat a minimum wage stand-alone bill later on and still get voters to support them in the 2022 mid-term elections. I do not understand why people continue to vote against their own best interest.

Who is surprised by this

I agree with this actually. The minimum wage needs to be addressed but not in the stimulus package. Do it separately so this bill passes and those needing help right now get it.

THE UNELECTED PARLIAMENTARIAN IS WALL STREET'S FIREWALL AGAINST DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE VP POTUS

Where was the Parliamentarian when McConnell was performing his outrageous antics?

Is this another way just to delay the entire stimulus relief package....again. Come on, this group of people sure do have ways of hurting the people and helping themselves. Stop!!!

Kamala Harris can override and if she doesn't, she proves herself a fraud, yet again

The Parliamentarian can be overridden by VP Harris.

So suddenly we can't sneak things in bills that don't match the title when it helps the people either?

Good! How about we just don’t tax people that make less than like $25,000 a year ? Won’t hurt business and it will be an instant pay increase for those people ?

This w/not be necessary if repub ever voted for anything other than their own self interest. How much better would this country be if the repub party didn't exist? We pay a HORRIBLE cost in this country to pretend that racism, cruelty and selfishness is a valid political choice

Why don’t are representatives consider creating higher paying jobs rather than focusing on entry labor jobs?

Nine Percent of the COVID RELIEF BILL is going to COVID relief. The rest is going to shit like Egyptians scholarships and Pansexual Bi-race Corn farmers. What the hell is this bill, because it’s hardly doing shit for COVID if at all.

I vote we give these complaining people their $15/hr even though they don't have the drive to earn it then watch companies start replacing more workers with more automated machines that will get orders right with less human error people won't like it at first but ill come around

Wanna bet!

once again the gop has proved it stands for corporations and stock holders, not workers and the average American. GOP RepublicanParty MinimumWage Stimulus

I remember the Trump covid bill had money to remodel the pentagon. They need to stop playing games. If Costco could pay 16/hrs so can the supposedly greatest country in the world.

Fire the parliamentarian and quash the filibuster,, then reconcile! Democrats should've learned from Moscow Mitch. A few Republicans will not stop the will of the people.Yes,elections, not selections reflect the people's will.

sounds like time for a new parliamentarian

thisisntdiamond Democrats have just lost the midterms this is why I dont support them 🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh, alright then

its very easy, i will fire employees if thisbhappens, its not complicated.

Fine. Have the House pass a standalone bill: See which GOP Senators will go on record AGAINST the wildly popular bill!

The raise isn’t going to be implement until 2025, after the next election. We already know this. Politics before people.

fire the Senate parliamentarian and push the bill through. Lott to Oust Senate Parliamentarian Who Ruled Against GOP May 8, 2001

Socialism minimum wage + M4A + UBI

No! Why? How much does the Senate Parliamentarian bring home?

Non-partisan? Think again. 'Be like Mitch... Stay rich. Don't bit..'

I love the people saying 'burger flippers don't deserve a living wage'. Really shows the compassion to the people that bring food to you despite everything going on. I dare any of those people to work as they do and say the same thing after some time. Entitled ass wipes

Stop raising minimum wage, and START LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING

So where is this $1.9 trillion coming from? What programs are being cut? Education? VA? Social security? Enough!! Stop with the 'vivid relief'. It's really just a rouse to get more money in the politicians pockets.

I’m for increasing minimum wage to a better amount but it needs to be addressed in a separate bill.

FightFor15

lies are about keeping control.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who supported them. Accountability is key in 2021!!

hahahahhaaaa

So, when companies are laying off workers due to the virus, and many Americans are unemployed they want to boost the min wage. Can anyone else see companies 'downsizing' and cutting job in response. Automating more systems to get away from needing employees?

I'm sorry But I don't remember voting for a fucking senate parliamentarian.

Now we demand $20 hour.....

Inflation Inflation Inflation. US Dollars will be worthless at this rate. More USD has been printed this year than ever before.

Lifting millions of people out of poverty and giving millions more a raise would stimulate the economy. People would be able to afford groceries instead of standing in line at food banks. They could buy a new pair of shoes instead of hoping donation sites had something acceptable

Just get it done already 🥴

Well she's white, so of course she said that...

We should stop paying taxes...maybe the senate should stop collecting tax payer money

Vice President can over rule the Senate Parliamentarian.

Why do people think the fed gov't can fix everything? Prevailing wages are a local issue. Take it up at city and county levels.

Not like it will change anything. Prices would have to increase to adjust for inflation

Unemployment recipients owe 1000s in taxes unless Congress acts

Unemployment recipients owe 1000s if Congress does not act

don’t hesitate to vote-shame biden voters!!! BidenRemorse FightFor15

I called it. Democrats with a majority in the House, Senate and occupying the presidency pretending to slip on banana peels and letting Republicans win so they don’t have to actually follow through on their promises.

.Berniesanders AOC RepRoKhanna RepJayapal should all introduce a new $15 minimum wage bill every week and keep introducing them calling out every democrat and republican who stands in their way. Make our enemies expose themselves. These people are traitors. Name them.

Do the Democrats have the majority vote, when the Republicans voted for big businesses and the rich for tax breaks, get this relief and minimum wage bill pass the Republicans had there way for 4 years

These a-holes need to get with the program. Let me put it so pudding brain capitalists can understand. PEOPLE HAVE NO MONEY, PEOPLE NOT SPEND MONEY. YOU NO GET MONEY.

People and businesses needed this money months ago, the whole process of getting this sent out is absolutely laughable. Sit these idiots down in a room together and figure it out. Zero reason for waiting periods and all this delayed back and forth right now.

Time to start looking at cutting senate and house delegate pay!

Nice try 🤣 Pork Gate

No way!!!

Shit, how will this affect the part of the bill that strikes down 14c (sub-minimum wage for disabled people)

Who the hell cares? Someone who is in an appointed advisory position says no, so that means democracy doesn't work anymore? Point in the Constitution where she has this power to stop legislation?

I thought we abolished slavery! Lol we got jobs for you now that your free you can’t even live on welcome to freedom!

Nothing in politics happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet that it was planned that way.

The representatives blame it on the aides Golden! What a corrupt broken republic corporation this is! Sure is a fraud of a democracy

Only 1,348 days left of this demoncratic nightmare and then Trump2024 💪🏽🇺🇸

Let’s keep in mind that if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it would be $24 an hour so asking for $15 is being VERY conservative.

Raising the minimum wage is a legitimate way to provide long term economic relief to the people hardest hit by the pandemic. As long as the filibuster is in place, an increase will never pass in a stand alone bill. The parliamentarian can be overruled, and the legislation passed.

Haha Haha Haha

One bill should be made to accomplish one goal. They shouldn't be allowed to tack on unrelated crap onto it. You want to know why people hate congress? Here it is. I'm all for a minimum wage increase, but attaching it to a COVID relief bill is only asking for it to be rejected.

I have watched companies go in to areas and get tax breaks, then when worker’s compensation get too high, they leave or sell. It’s terrible. If I see it, everyone does and it’s bullshit. They should stay where they open and be part of the community.

High five to the parliamentarian! Sneaky Demoncrats...

That’s what they do. We send representatives to D.C. after they get crazy money. Then, money starts rolling in to them. That’s why we all need to be in the working class, if we aren’t banking $400K a year. Companies should care about U.S. or get out!

Why

GUILLOTINE

It doesn't matter if you change it the minimum wage to 15. 15 dollars will then just be worth 7.25 dollars

Funny, I never heard of this parliamentarian shiit when the repubs had the Senate!

And don’t write drivel about my “not understanding” how parliamentarian rules work.” I’m quite aware. I’ve reached an age where I just no longer buy into congressional bullshit. No matter how dressed up. Denial is denial. They MAKE the rules. Don’t underestimate their intent.

Fine. Take it out. Dedicate another bill to it later. Don't play politics here and hold up our $1400. Negotiate. Get it done.

Does it strike anyone that congressional RULES oppose the helping of regular Americans-the 99.9% who SHOULDER THE TAX BURDEN? While they’ve pushed Neoliberalism that’s concentrated the largest share of wealth in the few? Congress isn’t ABOUT Americans. No matter how you slice it.

Who didn’t see this coming?

I bet if it was an increase in wage for senators it would have been perfectly fine.

And? Did we hear about the Parliamentarian when trillions were handed out to billionaires? POTUS VP please get it done, thank you. This is what you campaigned on. 2022 2024

Break the rules! It’s not like you’re breaking laws ... like the former guy 🤷‍♀️if you break the rules to HELP Americans.. I mean.. who would be mad 🤔 are you seriously scared of a Republican ad blaming you for HELPING folks 🤦‍♀️

Sure they can if they want

The trillions in no strings permanent tax cuts leaving it is a minus in revenue collected which has to be replaced by borrowed money for interest, yet employers can't be asked to use a small part of that windfall to pay a 15$ wage?Free socialist handouts!

Looking forward to robots taking these $15 hour jobs. No more hairs in my french fries!

Good. It is a separate issue and should be treated as such. It is disingenuous and delays the stimulus from reaching people in need.

Why is it Republicans had no problem handing the privileged richest,+ corporations No strings permanent tax cuts costing trillions over the next decade but have a problem giving workers a raise? They get free handouts but workers get shit on,

Its meant tp be a fuckin COVID relief bill don't throw other shit in there that you know is going to cause controversy because that means it sure as hell ain't going to get passed as fast.

Kamala better waive it or else she doesn’t really give a shit about working class people. She has rhe right to bypass the parliamentarian

Because creating a livable wage not is not convenient? For a group of self serving nonleaders!

They didnt do any parliamentary when trump was in. All party, not country

Quick! There's still time to write things in the margins!

Have you ever heard of the 'Senate parliamentarian' until this moment of asshattery?

Yes I agree. Let the businesses be open a year and start to get back some of the money they've lost before proposing for the hourly wage increase. We all know that it's warrented, but can it help save small businesses from going under after COVID 19?

I keep telling friends Biden will propose and put shit on the table because he knows it will not pass. He planning doing the very least for Americans.

SenSchumer The parliamentarian decision is an opinion and not a hard and fast final verdict. Overrule her and move on.

but y'all had NO PROBLEM voting yourselves a TAX RAISE & y'all are so rich you don't pay any taxes.Y'all have some nerve

Imagine voting for Biden and expecting to get a 15$ minimum wage but yet it declines and now we got almost 3$ per gal gas. So you voted for a guy that just stopped the oil and now it getting the oil from another country. And now everything is jacked up🤣💀

Who the fuck is that? I’ve never heard of them?

TheDemocrats being absolutely fucking useless yet again. They can and should move ahead with more, $15 an hour isn’t enough.

Why follow rules? GQP doesn't. SenSchumer BernieSanders

Workers don’t care about this unknown bureaucrat. They want promises kept. But Biden doesn’t care b/c he’s already president. He won his 30yr battle for a legacy and he’s gone in 4. It’s VP that’s once again self sabotaging her electoral chances. Good luck fools

We are going to be stuck with poverty wages for ages longer. As if it hasn't already been ages since the last marginal increase.

This is shameful! If a minimum wage hike is brought forward as a separate Bill there’s no way in hell it’s going to pass!

The class system is alive and well in america.

i could have already predicted that..

I would love a $15 minimum wage but it's not part of the covid-19 relief. It's just our minimum wage is outdated and it can't be part of a temporary Prodigium . Have respect for all aspects of what this relief package is for. It's for more money, but not for an outdated wage.

What a shame as minimum wages never kept pace with inflation!

thank you eugene goodman

Screw the rules...go for it. Tired of this crap..says an old retired farmer from SC.

An hourly pay of $7.25 is equivalent to an average annual income of $14,500 per year. Think about that. Ignore the parliamentarian’s view and include the minimum wage hike.

Pay them the US minimum wage and let’s see how long it takes them to change their time

Hope she dreams about the starving children as she tries to sleep tonight. Traitor.

I would like to know how much she makes in hours. Guarantee it is more than minimum wage. I'm sick of these people that don't have to live in our shoes to be able to make these kind of decisions. VP Harris needs to override her.

Registered Republican?

Oh no! If only Democrats were in power so that they could overrule this.

Now get rid of the expansion of Obamacare in the bill!

People we need to vote progressives in 2024

They don’t care about you! It’s not Red VS Blue. It’s not Democrat VS republican. It’s rich VS poor. And most of you are poor so they don’t care about you. It’s not hard to see! Class consciousness ASAP let’s send them all to the gulag

so they can bomb foreign countries without asking Congress, but can't include a minimum wage in the bill

Because FU, that's why

I voted for BIDEN and I am AGAINST THIS.

This is bullshit. Tell the parliamentarian I said so.

Booooo

Let’s eat the Parliamentarian along with the rich. Workers gotta eat

Haha good

Dems are creative in trying to insert a minimum wage increase into the budget reconciliation legislation. They knew it would fail but did it anyway. Now, can and will Madame VP Harris overrule the parliamentarian's decision?

Fuck that!

jpaceDC None of those people could survive on that salary! It is shameful that all those voting are making 6 figure salaries, and yet that won’t pass the bill to give people $15 an hour.

Get the relief out to the people and figure this out later in it’s own bill, so tired of both sides trying to package crap together. If it can’t get through on its own then fix it so it can.

That is too bad. Getting Repubs to vote to increase minimum wage is a long shot.

This absolutely needs to be its own bill. Not tied to a relief bill that we need to pass ASAP!

Aw shucks. Maybe if we work ourselves to death they’ll pay for the funerals? F*cking sick of people who make $83 per hour telling everyone else how little they need to barely scrape by.

Many many times they did the Bill anyway. She’s not a Judge

Why doesn't kamala Harris overrule this?

The finding by Elizabeth MacDonough, the chamber’s nonpartisan arbiter of its rules, comes as Democrats prepare for House approval Friday of an initial version of the $1.9 trillion package that still includes the minimum wage boost.

Anyone who believes that raising the minimum wage is a bad thing, had been fooled. Raising the base wage only equates into added wealth for all. It is backwards and dangerous thinking.

Lmaaoo Lettuce eat cake!!

Massive disappointment, but whatever. Put up a separate bill later on. Right now priority needs to be the COVID bill, followed by the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Well too bad

That sucks

those who think the current $7.25 federal minimum wage is “acceptable” should be “forced to live and work on that wage so they can demonstrate to the rest of us how it’s possible to get by.

So Bernard's strategy failed... Guess we should have seen this coming when he took charge of this push but it's still a serious blow to the working class.

POTUS those promises you made are looking mighty empty right about now.

Not doubting the leadership but curious what happened.

Time for the Dems to give up and shit. It’s par for the course.

No surprise.

But ANWR is ok huh 🙄

Broken promises from the Democratic Party. What's new?

Good. Minimum wage is a huge issue that should be its own bill, not snuck into the covid relief bill

A bunch of bull 💩
