Cut-and-run-ocrats vote to increase unemployment

In a perfect example of economic illiteracy, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted 315-116 to make it more expensive to hire workers by increasing the federally-mandated minimum wage and thus increasing our nation's unemployment rate.

Business groups and other critics said it could lead to higher prices for goods and services, force small companies to pink-slip existing workers or hire fewer new ones, and crimp profits.

But that's what liberalism is - doing something because it feels good, not because it's the correct thing to do.
