The House of Representatives has just passed the Paris Hilton Diamond Dog Collar Protection Act. Working on the weekend in one of their rare sessions of any kind for any purpose the Republicans leadership has labored to protect the children of their obscenely wealthy campaign contributors from the terror of being merely rich beyond the imagination of most of the workers in the United States. Responding to the possibility that one or two of the multimillionaire/billionaire class are too miserly or stupid to avoid paying taxes on their own, the whining wieners hid the tax cut inside a bill to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour over three years. They then left for a 5 week vacation.
Note that the increase in Social Security taxes from the minimum wage increase would help to hide the real budget deficit.
