that Winship guy is! He sounds like he lives in the corner office with a view. Notice he's not wearing a tie... for effect? I wonder what "literature" he's been reading.

Winship: "You know, I don't think it's a terrible idea. I do think that we're talking about pretty a small fraction of the labor force, probably about 3 percent of next year's workers, so it's easy to overstate, I think, the costs and the benefits of extending them, but the unemployment rate remains high, and I don't think it's a bad idea to extend them for a bit longer."

How generous of him. Seriously, though, I think his attitude is disgusting.

The above graph is from the sight inequality.org, based on 1979-2007 figures. These aren't "spun" by any "think tank", just the facts. Take a look, and you judge if Winship is not just shucking and jiving for the fat cats. What a friggin' waste of air time...disgusting and a flippin' lie.

I guess you can expect this sort of "both sides" perspective, even if one side cites literature put out by no-name quasi-experts who are just one clown short of circus.

he claims we are talking about raising the minimum wage...as if that is an argument in favor of upward mobility. It has not been raised since 2009, yet cost of living has been increasing every year. How is that helping mobility? Why should it take six years for the minimum wage to increase to catch up with the annual cost of living hikes?
