forget $10.10 hour some democrats pushing a bill to mandate a $12 minimum wage. they say and unions also say it will help workers across america. are they right or are they wrong? sabrina, what do you think? they re wrong. artificially manipulating wages is going to be a jobs killer. i m sure i m not alope. that i walk into a local chain drugstore all the time and there s one employee who works there. it is a security guard. because every single thing has been automated in that store. the fact that people who live in poverty and we all want to help those people aren t there because of low, you know low paying jobs at fast food restaurants or drugstores. it s because they don t have consistent paid employment. the best way to help them grow the economy. what do you think? i think this is a trend that companies are doing anyway. you look at aetna and they re raising their minimum wage to $16 an hour. i think the companies that do this end up getting a halo
the affordable care act is a jobs killer. 60 straight months 60 straight months, austan of job creation. how do they run on this how do they stand there and tell the american people something that the american people see is blatantly untrue? look you remember in the 90s when the clinton job machine was cranking along and then newt gingrich said well really it was the gingrich economy. i predict they will try to come up with some way to explain how we had 60 months of job growth because of what happened in the midterm elections a few months ago. well, they can try, but 60 months clearly does not exactly. not include just the midterm elections and their policies, congressman, have not done anything that you can remotely say caused the continued job growth that we were already having before on a consistent basis by the way, before the midterm elections.
you think someone is trying to sell you something? the economy has improved despite the republicans. in the face of republican obstruction, what s amazing about this this has all happened with the most obstructed president in the history of the country. john boehner is asking where are the jobs? the jobs are here. another favorite lie of republicans in years has been, oh, yeah. obamacare is nothing, but a jobs killer. when obamacare was debated in congress we screamed from the rooftops that it just wouldn t work. that it would be a job killer. obamacare is the biggest job killer in this country. let s repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. let s not do that. let s love people. there s only one escape hatch that will fully help those
taking a hostile opposition to the policy. and look at natalie and the way she is handling it in tennessee. and i don t believe that grimes and tenants are going to be the only ones, because you will see contested races in arkansas and virginia and all over the country, and they will use the clips from grimes and tennant and saying that obama is a jobs killer, and listen to his own candidates a and that is going the come to roost in november. and that is exactly what we heard from reince priebus attacking the president saying that this regulation is going to kill jobs and force the energy rates to skyrocket and no wonder that president obama is circumventing congress to implement the latest job killing regulation. and goldiegoldie, with this badly timed, what is the democr
on just how much it would cost to raise the minimum wage, according to one nonpartisan group on capitol hill. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel tells us it s not cheap. good evening. the report from the congressional budget office said it would increase wages for about 16.5 million people. but it would also cost consumers in the form of higher prices and job losses. the cbo says raising minimum wage to $10 .10 per hour from $7.25 would eliminate about a half million jobs compared to staying at the current wage. $10.10 is the amount the white house and congressional democrats favor. it also considered a $9 per hour wage, which predicts would cut about 100,000 jobs in 2016. a spokesman for john boehner pounced on minimum wage being a jobs killer. saying, quote, this confirms what we ve long known. while helping some, mandating it
