Pelosi promises: Give us back the house, and we'll give you $15 an hour

Of all the Dems hare-brained schemes, the "fight for fifteen" has to be one of the most idiotic. It's a plan that will decimate jobs for young people, force corporations to eviscerate their workforces in favor of robots, send manufacturing businesses overseas, devalue the wages people are already earning, drive up the price of virtually everything you buy at retail and, in the end, will succeed only in raising the poverty line to a new, higher, level. It really is just monumentally stupid. But, if you're not too bright, I suppose it sounds good. That's why, ever eager to pander, Nancy Pelosi is using it as a sort of electoral carrot. Vote for Democrats, and she promises they'll make sure $15 an hour becomes the new definition of "working for peanuts." Bernie Sanders, whose wife loves Iranian elections, sure does seem to think this a great idea, huh?
