Wonder if companies would support the Affordable Wage Act, too?

While I suppose I know it, I cannot accept that anyone with an IQ failed to see this from the get go:

The idea that employers were going to spend an additional 30 percent, 100 percent or even an order of magnitude more on a major expense because . . . well, just because Obama needed to say so, I guess. (Although I do have to admit, I'm delighted to see the category of "government costs." That was a close one. But for that employees would have to bear it.)

I begin to fear I'll never live to see the repeal of the 17th Amendment.
