Forget John McCain's Houses...How About His $2 Million Dollar Parking Lot?

Forget about John McCain's 13 houses...let's instead take a look at his two million dollar parking lot.

With America On Brink Of Another Great Depression Republicans Decide To Play POLITICS

Today was a historic day in America as the Bailout of Wall Street went down to defeat. Personally, I am fine with that...what I am not fine with, is the way it went down to defeat. Simply stated, the Republicans were FAR MORE CONCERNED with playing politics than in supporting America, more interested in slashing out at the Demcoratic Party than doing what right for America's Middle Class. You do not vote against a bill because you do not like a person, or the speech they give, but this is EXACTLY what happened today, is the ROOT CAUSE of the market tanking (at one point by 680 points).

Let's not forget who CAUSED THIS CRISIS in America! REPUBLICANS! The George Bush John McCain doctrine and beliefs led us to this dark abyss, and instead of helping to turn the car around, the Republicans CHOOSE TO PLAY POLITICS on this dark day, and if America's voters have any sense, they will not send any Republican back to Washington that voted against today's bailout!

Putting Bailout In Perspective For Minimum Wage Workers

Our Federal Government is about to give Wall Street $770 Billion dollars! Meanwhile, back in July the minimum wage LEPT to $6,55 per hour. Working a 40 hour work week, that is a pre-tax weekly wage of $262.00 or a yearly pre tax income of $13,624 IF YOU WORK 52 WEEKS A YEAR. It would take roughly 58 million 40 hour weeks of work at minimum wage to pay off this debt (with no interest).

Federal minimum wage to increase to $6.55 on July 24

Agency also marks 70th anniversary of Fair Labor Standards Act

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor reminds employers and employees that the federal minimum wage will increase to $6.55 on Thursday, July 24. With this change, employees who are covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) will be entitled to pay at no less than $6.55 per hour.

This increase is the second of three provided by the enactment of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. A third minimum wage increase to $7.25 an hour will become effective on July 24, 2009. Last year, on July 24, the minimum wage increased to $5.85 an hour.

Joe Biden HAMMERS John McCain

You have to love the advent of YouTube, the ability it gives us to enchance our blogs, to share not just our views on the news, but the streaming video that is the news. Joe Biden, as we have mentioned earlier today was freely available to the press after the debate last night, and he was SIMPLY ELECTRIC. It should be a great debate next week, and Joe should not pull is punches because Sarah Palin is a woman. We want a fair, but hard hitting debate, and know whining on the Republican side that we beat her up.
