		<description>From RR&#039;s link:

&lt;em&gt;Baucus is a Democratic senator from the Republican-leaning state of Montana, &lt;strong&gt;which means he is on the political equivalent of the endangered-species list.&lt;/strong&gt; So you can understand Baucus&#039;s need to vote with his constituents on things like sugar subsidies and gun control and grazing fees on public lands.&lt;/em&gt;

This reporter claims democrats like Baucus are an endangered species in Montana, yet Democrat Jon Tester was just elected to represent Montana in the Senate.

I think it&#039;s safe to quit reading right there.  The rest is bound to be cherry-picked bunk.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;TrippleKick Says:

gummich,
Unions are outdated in this country and simply increase costs for consumers. There’s really no need for Unions in the USA anymore. Unions know this. Their membership here is way, way down.&lt;/em&gt;

One of the reasons for a reduction in union membership over the last few decades is that the US has been bleeding jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.aflcio.org/2008/01/25/union-membership-on-the-rise/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;But things are changing.&lt;/a&gt;


&lt;blockquote&gt;
The percentage of workers who belong to unions &lt;strong&gt;increased &lt;/strong&gt;last year, according to the annual union membership report released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Some 311,000 new members joined unions in 2007, the largest single-year increase since 1979. Overall, the rate of union membership increased slightly to 12.1 percent last year, from 12 percent in 2006, reversing a trend of decline in recent years. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

&lt;em&gt;both economic theory and history suggest that small business will, in time, pass on its increased costs to its consumers. Small businesses that pay low wages tend to compete with other small businesses that pay low wages, so they will all face the same cost pressures and respond in similar fashion. The worst that can be said is that a higher minimum wage will add, very modestly, to overall inflation.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Me: He’s just going to belittle your links as “anticonservative” and continue not producing any evidence to support his claim.&lt;/em&gt;

See?
&lt;em&gt;
they “claim” to be objective, but you’ll have to do better…&lt;/em&gt;

Sure, sure. We should come up with a study from a right wing institute that proves the point, otherwise it&#039;s just not credible.

You have yet to provide a single iota of evidence. Put up or shut up.</description>

The &quot;conservatives&quot; have been making the same claim without evidence for decades.

geees….I haven’t claimed to be proven, but your the one claiming how higher minimum wage has been good for the service sector, and how service, and prices, remain the same, which haven’t been proven.&lt;/em&gt;

You just keep repeating the same claim over and over and you can even bother to defend it. Why would service go down if wages go up? If you can&#039;t substantiate your claim, stop making it and admit you have no idea.</description>

		<description>Minimum wage hike will result in job losses and discourage job creation. Conservatives commonly argue that increasing the minimum wage will negatively affect the economy, resulting in stagnating job growth and higher unemployment. However, numerous studies have examined recent increases in the minimum wage at both the federal and state level and found that higher wages do not result in job loss. One recent example is Oregon, which increased its minimum wage to $7.50 in 2002. Four years later, &quot;Oregon&#039;s experience suggests the most strident doomsayers were wrong,&quot; according to a November 3, 2006, Wall Street Journal article. Indeed, private, nonfarm payrolls have increased there at twice the national rate, industries that employ many minimum-wage workers have experienced considerable job growth, and unemployment has dropped to 5.4 percent from 7.6 percent in 2002.
