No nuclear option needed

From today's New York Times:

Wage Increase Could Hinge on Tax Cuts
By Steven Greenhouse

As part of their 100-hour legislative blitz, House Democrats are expected to vote today to increase the minimum wage for the first time in a decade, to $7.25 an hour, in a move that economists say will raise pay for 13 million workers.

The bill’s chances are less certain in the Senate, largely because of friction over a Republican push to include tax breaks for small business in the bill. Senate Republicans have hinted that, without such tax cuts, they will filibuster the measure, a move that the bill’s supporters would need 60 votes to overcome....

Here's the rest.

Senate Republicans filibustering over an increase in wages for the lower class?

Oh, please, please, please let that happen.

Again, I say -- please!

It's time their disdain for the well-being of the American worker was exposed once and for all.
