Heads up - Unemployment on the rise California!

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............ where should I start?

"For small businesses, this is a very high increase," association CEO Jot Condie said in a prepared statement. "It's bad for business, it's bad for restaurants and ultimately it's bad for consumers who will see inflation at their dinner table."

What? Forced raises in wages will cause more inflation? You don't say? Not to mention that it's a proven fact that minimum wages create unemployment. But hey, when this causes people to get laid off, it's all good. They can blame their "labor friendly" representatives for costing them their jobs.

"The long wait for an increase has hurt workers," said Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation, in a prepared statement after the deal was announced. "Indexing the minimum wage is still the most fair approach and would remove politics from the process."

Actually, the most fair approach would be to let the market determine what wages should be. After all, nobody forces those people to take jobs at $6.75 an hour. This is just the government again shifting more and more toward socialism. Good thing I ain't living in California for much longer.

First of all, when and where are you going, and B... Thank you for getting it right. The biggest problem with liberals is their propensity for ignoring the obvious facts of the situation. The same people you qouted in your post are the same people who blame our President for a stagnant economy despite the fact everyone I know is making money hand over fist, not only on their tax return, but also on their investments.
