Every Democratic senator voted with Republicans to bar a $15 minimum wage hike during the pandemic because they never wanted that in the first place

The amendment from Sen.

"It was never my intent to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour immediately during the pandemic," Sanders said."My legislation gradually increases the minimum wage to $15 an hour over a 5 year period, and that is what I believe we ought to do."

Imagine if they had free healthcare. The world would end.

They voted that way because it doesn’t change the timeline they wanted anyway and it put a rule change in place that the Dems like.

It’s unbelievable the level of greed this country is attaining. I see people being able to make a living, no matter their occupation, or educational level, just because we live in a developed country, and we have companies making billions! I pray for that!
