Minimum Wage has increased

Finally some Bi-Partisan agreement!

"OUR PRINCIPLE: It has taken over 200 days for the Democrat majority to see a plank of their ill-fated “Six for ‘06” take effect. While Democrats rammed through the House a federally mandated minimum wage hike that will affect relatively few Americans, Republicans insisted on and secured nearly $5 billion in meaningful tax relief for small business owners. Republicans believe government should help both the workers who make the minimum wage and the entrepreneurs who pay it.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY): “I agree by the time we got it raised after 10 years, it was already out of date.” (CNN/YouTube Presidential Debate, 7/23/07) " ( taken from gop.gov)
