The CBO report on the minimum wage

Spin it as you wish, we should not have a major party promoting, as a centerpiece initiative and for perceived electoral gain, a law that might put half a million vulnerable people out of work, and that during a slow labor market.

I’m sorry people, but those are the bottom lines on this one.
