Well today is the first day that the Democrats take control of both houses of Congress. Now, watch as the fireworks begin. I am a bit torn on the idea of raising the minimum wage though. Granted, 5 bucks an hour is not enough money to support a family on, but minimum wage really isn't designed for job that a family supporter should have. A family supporter should have gone to college or done something to make sure that they have the necessary skills to have a job that pays enough to support a family. Minimum wage is really for low end, jobs that you and I had when we were teenagers and just starting out in life. Fast food, and other such jobs are what minimum wage is all about.

Republicans have warned that some people will lose their jobs if the minimum wage is raised. This is true, but what is most likely to happen is that the cost of a pizza or hamburger is going to go up. Everyone pays for the minimum wage hike.
