Representative Ro Khanna has many ideas on economic issues and they are all very wrong. In September we told you about her genius idea to make childcare absolutely shitty by capping the cost at $10 per day per family.
Now he returns in 2025 to demand a federal wage increase.
The minimum wage is worth almost 30 percent less than it was 15 years ago and has not increased since. That’s awful.
Congress needs to give Americans a wage that supports their families.

When California raised its minimum wage, Shake Shack closed several locations, other companies reduced hours or laid off workers entirely. Fast food prices also skyrocketed.
In response, California lawmakers proposed a bill to ban self-checkouts.
The interesting thing here is that Khanna is from California. He should know this.
You should also know that the current minimum wage is always, invariably, zero.
And the more the government meddles in the minimum wage, the worse things get.
Congress exists at the expense of taxpayers. Americans are not given wages that support their families. You simply live parasitically on those who do.
Stop devaluing the currency.

According to the LA Times, Khannah has a net worth of $27 million.
None of this impacts him negatively.
If it were possible to increase wages by decree, then there would be no poverty.
Not only is it not possible, not only does the attempt fail, but attempts are counterproductive. pic.twitter.com/uSNmU06qJc

They are absolutely counterproductive.
How about Congress stop wasting our money and causing inflation? I’m sure it would be a better solution that would make many happier.
If their salaries are worth less, what happens to my savings that I skimped on and didn’t save?

IS.
1.3% of workers in this country earn the minimum wage. There is no need to increase the minimum wage, companies are doing it themselves. The federal government is not needed as much as Ro Khanna would have you believe.

Also this.
A little secret…increasing the minimum wage does not give families a living wage. In Washington State, we have the highest minimum wage in the country and we also have one of the highest costs of living. A higher minimum wage raises costs for everyone. https://t.co/ny1UjCicjX

They know it. Destruction is the point.
The minimum wage is worth less because the dollar is worth less. Let’s stop the government from printing more money and our wealth will not be stolen. https://t.co/wEc30acB4T

Yes please.
Why are Democrats so desperate when it comes to understanding sound money? https://t.co/QxZH5Ss7Ku

Because they are rich and never have real jobs or run companies that need to pay payroll.
They are completely insulated from the harmful effects of their policies.
I am working toward the day when average Americans see this and respond: “The minimum wage was never meant to support families, and the vast majority of people who earn minimum wage are, in fact, still supported.” from their families, so shut up.” .
The goal should be to do… https://t.co/5Jg7eYQMcG

That day must come quickly.
