Once again, Senate Democrats are on the side of middle class American’s and the working poor. Sen. Harry Reid says Democrats will hold up their own pay raises until Republicans pass an increase to the $5.15/hour minimum wage.
“We’re going to do anything it takes to stop the congressional pay raise this year, and we’re not going to settle for this year alone,” Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said at a Capitol news conference.
“They can play all the games the want,” Reid said derisively of the Republicans who control the chamber. “They can deal with gay marriage, estate tax, flag burning, all these issues and avoid issues like the prices of gasoline, sending your kid to college. But we’re going to do everything to stop the congressional pay raise.” – Sen. Harry Reid
