Get rid of the filibuster now.
Then override the recommendation and leave it in the stimulus bill and push it through. You know, just like the republicans do but it must be ok for them and not for the Dems huh? Howcome? Dear Dems: in 2 months nobody will remember anyway and they'll love you.
It was a mistake not getting the minimum wage increased to $10.00 (Manchin's offer) IMMEDIATELY included in this $1.9T plan. It was THEIR offer! Now we have to do it Progressive style, without GOP support. CNN MinimumWage
I’m for Biden there’s no one else but the package is for the people if I see one more family outside with no where to go wow it’s heart breaking. Trump did an executive order before the bill in December was passed an that helped the people Biden do something.
If Republicans think about it, $15 hr. would take off a majority of people off public assistance.
Once again, the Dems are beat back by the arcane rules of a thoroughly undemocratic Senate.
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. — James Bovard
Put it up for a vote in a stand-alone bill anyway. SenSanders SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi
Why doesn't anyone ever mention linking the MinimumWage to inflation? Rise the wage, but we have to make a COLA every year or else the people will have to go through this all over again. cola4minimumwage Social Security gets a COLA. The minimum wage should too.
Why was Trump banned?
As most socialists, Sanders loves the labor unions, but hates the laborers. As he commented, 'bread lines is a sign of progress', he wants his kind of 'progress' done over the laborers backs.
Let them keep you distracted from the fact that your team is out there bombing Syria again.
Tell Manchin, Tester & Sinema's that we will raise the min. wage to $15.00 everywhere but Arizona, Montana & West Virginia will go to $11.00 and see how pissed off the people in Arizona, Montana & West Virginia will be at Them! Problem solved!
The new Trump fascist GOP must be canceled by the left and the right! No room on this planet for another Adolf Hitler regime! The old GOP must survive on their basic principles which do not include fascism, White supremacy hate and conspiracy theories!
The republicans who will not support this minimum wage hike need to try to live on the $7.25/hourly rate....see how well they fair...what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Repub voters need to get their heads out of their asses,stop electing these sham moralists based on abortion ,gay marriage or whatever the fuck else smokescreen they’re basing it on -start electing people(dem or rep)who actually care about the citizens they’re supposed to serve
Why not make the min wage $150 hour, Democrats, if you really want me to believe, I’ll actually be that much richer, without the cost of living to skyrocket well above that Again. The game, is , take from the middle class until there is no middle class. Either your rich or poor
Republicans of today actively promote a harsher and crueler world.
UROCKlive1 It's 'us v. them' across the board. We're stuck good.
UROCKlive1 Mitt proposed $10 an hour by 2025. Seriously Mitt? I thought I was reading satire from The Onion.

The minimum wage would be much higher if it had kept up with a growing economy.
If it's suddenly OK for the Senate to confirm presidential cabinet picks and Supreme Court Justices with just 51 votes, surely the same ought to apply to legislation. 🙄 EndTheFilibuster A simple majority is all that is needed in a democracy.
Half the Republicans (probably more) don't think we have a legitimately elected. There's no way to work with them.
Add student loan debt cancellation to this.

Roll over them ...enough is enough 😷😷👍🌺⭐️!
Why do I remember it being~ $5.47 federal when I was in my twenties and now I’m in my thirties and ppl wan 15$? That bad.
DO IT!
Why do Republicans act like they are personally paying the $15?
SenSanders “A $15 minimum wage would increase the income of 27 million workers...” It will decrease poverty & have no measurable negative effects on jobs. More employees would stay w/current employers which =cost savings for companies. Spoke
there will be no useful legislation passed unless Manchin and Sinema permit ending the filibuster. NONE.
Convict trump in tax court and watch the opportunities open up.
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.”
Good, there should be no minimum wage at all.
