Pressure on elected officials to raise minimum wage to living wage or something close to it. Today there was an important turning point in that fight. Mitt romney who said there was probably not a need to raise minimum wage now says it should go up. I, for instance, as you know, part company with many conservatives on the issue of minimum wage. I think we ought to raise it. Frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay. Romney isnt the only one embracing wage hike.

The mortality rate has jumped from 50 to 70 now. They hope to reduce the rate of infection by isolating 70 of the patients and having most of the victims buried safely. All of this they hope by december. But officials warn the number of cases is soaring to startling levels. Its impossible to say were going to have this many or that many. But we anticipate the number is going to be somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 a week. It could be higher, it could be lower. But its gong to be somewhere in that ballpark. But either way, those numbers are probably underreported. The u. S. President meantime admits the Global Response is not meeting the need. Take a listen. The world as a whole is not doing enough.
