After the House passed President Joe Biden's Covid-19 relief bill early Saturday morning -- with a provision raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour in stages by 2025 -- the bill is expected to hit the Senate floor this week, but without that same provision, which the Senate parliamentarian ruled doesn't fall within the rules of budget reconciliation, a process that allows Senate Democrats to pass the $1.9 trillion relief plan with just 51 votes.
Read MoreDemocrats were still finalizing their plans to bring the Covid-19 relief bill to the Senate floor, a source with knowledge of the matter said, in part because the measure is still going through a review by the Senate parliamentarian. Once the bill is introduced, the chamber is expected to strip out the provision in the legislation increasing the federal minimum wage following the Senate parliamentarian's ruling.
Figures, senate democrats are all talk and no spine.
Increase minimum wage to $50!
Why Biden/Kamala? Why can't u give $15/- hour?
Finally, some common sense!
dems talk a big game to get ppl behind them and then the go a different way oh if ppl did not know the was going to only give hugh tax breaks for the companies that give 15 an hr now that ppl are ok with it they go lets go another route but tax breaks for large companies
cancel all tax breaks for the company if they can't won't pay $15 minimum wage. If the employees require government assistance while working for the company, the company should not get government assistance also. NAACP blacklivesmatter LatinosMatter FoxNews ABC NPR

WETHEPEOPLEPACK not your call! Media at work!
I believe minimum wage is what all our Senators and Representatives should be paid. It’s public service not a gold mine.
This is becoming too ridiculous. When will the democrats just put their foot down🤔
$13.75...?
SenateDems POTUS VP SenSanders SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi The Democratic Party always tries to take the high road, while republicans pass the most reprehensible laws and bills of which none of them help the American people! I Voted for the increase of $15 min wage!
2022 elections look bad for democrats D's. Trump is just getting started.
Why would honest employer's need to be sanctioned? If you as an employer pay less than $15 per hour.. You don't care about your employees wellbeing You have no empathy You SHOULDN'T be in business.
Can we revote for the Senate Democrats... When is there time up in office we need to vote a whole new party because they are against change just to be the evil ones versus good it's too much AMEN 🌈🌍🗽🇺🇸⭐💛💛💛🤍🔥 Amen 🙏 focus on Jesus in Jesus mighty Name Amen 🙏❤️😍 Jesus..
It was a stupid penalty! More like Nazi style.
Profits over people every time.
Wages should be based on occupational requirements, i.e. A fast food worker vs. a nurse
Can't even get a raise in pay with a pandemic . OMG HOW EMBARRASSING THIS COUNTRY IS. WOW!!! IT'S OKAY YOU CAN MAKE 7 DOLLARS AN HOUR STILL AND LIVE ON THAT. BIG BUSINESS JUST DOESN'T WANT TO PAY THE WORKER THEIR FAIR SHARE. RIDICULOUS .
Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
Then it becomes impotent
Dems are blowing it to give Trump another shot at ending democracy.

This is the way to go, to have an agreeable position that can sell within the GOP may help speed the 1.9 trillion JoeBiden and KamalaHarris plan ... Good luck.
How about penalizing Senators for pushing the big lie.
