BrundleFly's Backwash

and they get it done on the backs of the soldiers dying in Iraq.

Now I am all for the raising of minimum wage, it has been held back for decades for the rich get richer corporate lobbying groups overseeing interests. I do not however think that the sneaking of it into a bill on whether more young men and women die is the way to get it done.

The people want both, fair wages, and their troops home. We had to settle for one and not the other.

How is that a win? It sounds like we got something on the backs of the soldiers lives.... and we had to blackmail and sell ourselves out for a minute gain which doesn't even really match the standard of the economy at the moment anyways.


selling out sure feels gross.
