Block increasing the minimum wage . Its bad economics. Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. Paul ryan says its bad economics to raise the the minimum wage. Okay. Well match that up with you cant raise taxes on the job creators. Really . This is what we heard about the bush tax cuts. Since the bush tax cuts have been gone we have added jobs every single month. 53 months of private sector job growth and now were getting the ageold argument from the republicans oh, you cant raise the minimum wage. It will destroy the economy. Today marks five years since america last got a raise. Does that sound good . No. Its terrible. On july, 24, 2009, the federal minimum wage went from 6. 55 an hour to 7. 25 an hour. They didnt vote if 2009. That was the last incremental increase on a vote that was previously taken. You know what that comes out to . An extra 12 per week. Now after five years the cost of living has gone up, no question about it. Republicans, they dont care. Rig
