Dems set war bill without Iraq timeline

Link Here

Lowlight:

While details remain subject to change, the measure is designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.

Highlight:

For his part, Bolten criticized Democrats for persisting with an approach that had already sparked one veto. He noted the president had already said he was willing to consider legislation that included so-called benchmarks for the Iraqi government.

I would be in favor of Iraqi benchmarks.

Silly:

Both the House and Senate have approved legislation raising the minimum wage of $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour in three separate 70-cent increases over 26 months. The measures both included modest tax breaks, mainly aimed at helping businesses that hire low-skilled or handicapped workers.

If you know somebody who is working for $5.15 [or less in KS and other states] and deserves more, please help them find a new job. Otherwise, they probably deserve to be making $5.15.

So people who work deserve to be poor?

Again, I asked you to name one job that pays $5.15 that shouldn't. And, second of all, most states have raised the minimum wage above the federal level [ie - California].
