Silver lining

Congress Passes Increase in the Minimum Wage

Of course it was in the Iraq spending bill, which is only logical. But regardless of how it was done, the new minimum wage will be $7.25/hour - up from $5.15/hour - over the course of two years. There are already 7 states with minimum wages higher than that. Sad really that 1) it took so long (10 years) and 2) that it is still so low.
