President Raises minimum wage to $10.10 for Contractors

  During President Obama's State of the Union speech last night, he told the American public that he is raising the minimum wage paid by his Federal Contract workers to $10.10 an hour.

   There is only one problem with this. He doesn't actually pay these workers out of his own pocket like regular businesses do. Mainly, these are people who often don't have high school diplomas or any reading and writing skills or other skills. We, the taxpayers, are paying "his" workers!!

A payback to unions. Union wages are connected to minimum wage. The higher the minimum wage, the larger the increase in union wages.
