Congress passes minimum wage increase

Senators Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint, and Jon Kyl, you should be ashamed of yourselves. To the other 94 members of Congress who just voted to raise the minimum wage for millions of working poor, thank you.

Actually, it hurts us more when the min. wage is increased. The grocery stores are the first to increase their prices, and usually the increase is way higher than the pay increase.

I have been gripping about this for years now! WA state has one of the highest min. wages, and my husband makes just over the min. wage, so no increase for him.

I don't mind paying more at the grocery store, so others can make a decent wage! I am glad it passed!
