So how did the $15 wage get taken out? :wtf:





End if February?

Should be by the end of next week.

They only passed a resolution to go to the bill through reconciliation. They have to write it all and then go through all of the floor time again.

Reconciliation takes weeks.

Smh coward move
lets be honest, forcing through a minimum wage increase isnt covid relief :yeshrug: its a policy change that can be addressed at a later date

and frankly, the dems have been so bad on the messaging that its not even worth muddying up the covid relief bill with it. what was even their proposed timeline on the raise :mindblown: tomorrow? 3 years? 5 years? i havent heard a single democrat say it out loud

it's like they're afraid to disappoint people by saying it will take place over 5 years, but by failing to set a timeline, theyre losing the support of all these business owners who are under the impression it would go to 15 tomorrow :dead:

It goes up over 5 years then is indexed to inflation

if Dems have the will they can overrule the parliamentarian. It would be Leahy or Kamala doing it

Bernie is still going to write it in the package. Biden is lowering expectations.
