10 seconds in google. 10 fucking seconds. You couldn't even spend that much time to check before spewing bs!

Maybe if you spent more than 10 seconds looking, you'd see that you're wrong. Of course, when your attention span is limited to 10 seconds, you tend to believe a lot of things that ain't so.

That's on a state by state basis. So you're saying things are great in the (mostly red) states that don't increase the min wage?

They're probably doing better than CT which has placed a path to $15

Meanwhile it's among the most expensive states to live in, despite offering pretty much nothing

Oh, and we're stuck paying a bag tax.

It's literally the exact same broken "good on paper" economy that Obama left us, except now with even more trickle down economics bull shit thanks to the new tax law and even more Fed Reserve meddling thanks to Trump publicly demanding they cut rates despite the economy being "the best it's ever been" (per Trump).

Except it's literally not. There were almost immediate improvements overnight when Trump won although, again, it still ain't great.

And pro tip: Republicans NEVER cut spending. They've talked the same trickle down bull shit for forty fucking years. Had full power over both houses of Congress and the presidency several times since. Never cut spending. Often raise it, usually on military. Their public goal is to cut spending. Their private goal is to "starve the beast". Basically, cowardly avoid taking responsibility for cutting spending from an angry public by running up the deficit so high that eventually Democrats have no choice but to do it for them and "be the bad guy", to save the country from economic ruin caused by their own stupid policies.

They frequently do cut spending -- which you know because you yourself bitch about it -- but they don't cut deep enough.
