Can someone locate an occasion when the HC was fired - and the new HC did not bring a whole new staff in?

To your second point - You're speaking primarily of people who don't exist. If we're going to start subsidizing responsible people who are perpetually stuck in minimum wage jobs should we not subsidize Santa Clause as well? Almost 30 million households received EIC in 2014 and EIC is the 3rd largest government subsidy (welfare) program. As I said – we are already paying more than the MW – just doing it through the government. Santa is subsidized by love from the children of the world!

“Take a company that pays the average worker above minimum wage - say $10/hr. You think you can Jack his labor cost up 50% without serious adverse effects?” My point is – You speak without back up – We have states – Oregon – that have raised the MW appreciably – was this then accompanied by a reduction in employment and closing of businesses? – Are you just speaking from a political point of view or have you done actual research to back up your points? “And this "earned" tax credit business and it's de facto "subsidy" of Wal Mart's is absolutely ridiculous, but I'm all for testing the theory. Let's do away with it and see if its absence forces Wal Mart to raise wages.” I don’t believe that it would force Walmart to do anything – they already pay as low as they can. What it would do would be to put 10’s of millions of citizens who work full time into abject poverty. US society has already decided that minimum wage is not enough to maintain a household at levels we can live with so we supplement and reward them for working by paying them with the EIC. The EIC is – BTW – a GOP favorite as it rewards people to actually maintain employment. http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/cepr-blog/2014-job-creation-in-states-that-raised-the-minimum-wage 2014 Job Creation Faster in States that Raised the Minimum Wage - Per Goldman Sachs

“By eliminating those jobs, you would be eliminating the experience that a first job provides and teaching a work ethic.” Why would jobs be eliminated? Has this happened in states where the MW has been raised significantly? Have businesses closed? “If the MW goes up, won't all payroll taxes also increase? So the big winner in this entire discussion is the government.” Wouldn’t a big winner in this case be our children as the deficit would get reduced? I think a big aspect not talked about is the earned income tax credit. The US taxpayer is essentially supplementing a large portion of MW workers by giving them money for working at MW jobs – so in essence – the economy is already supporting a higher MW just in a very convoluted way – and in essence giving companies like Walmart a huge subsidy.

Who has a narrative? Conservatives have the Scotus majority, both houses of Congress, most state legislatures and governors offices, have the highest rated radio shows, most visited websites, highest rated cable tv channels, most purchased books....who reads the local paper and watches the evening news anymore? To say the conservative voice is not represented very well - in fact become part of the MSM And society- is simply ignoring the facts.

I didn’t “drive off” – had stuff to do. Are you guys saying that Fox, Rush, Brietbart, Drudge are somehow not part of “mainstream media” at this point? They are just as – if not more – viewed by other media outlets at this point – or do they have a pass? As well – they are just as guilty of sensationalizing, beating to death, extrapolating, folding, spindling and mutilating as their left wing counterparts. As far as what our founding fathers set in motion – they started a Constitution that has been added to and interpolated for 240 years – last time I checked everything that happens here in the US of A abides by that Constitution – if it does not – then it gets taken to judges who decide whether what is happening is “Constitutional” – or has that changed?

Puh lease...War on Christmas, Benghazi, It's cold out...the most popular radio and news programs are Fox, Drudge and Rush.....

Well - the USA was founded on liberalism...liberty...

Mariota and Winston are both hardly locks to become successful w/o years of experience. The more I read this thread - the more it become apparent that maybe the FO actually knew what they were doing. There are very few options for the next sure fire QB - either through the draft or through FA - in fact one could say you would be silly to keep dreaming about the next Luck - it ain't gonna happen. Therefore the path to he playoffs is going to be an actual doable solution - strong D, strong running game, and a great receiving corp that will compliment what in all scenarios is going be a medium level QB - pretty much the path we are on.

Umm is the author not comparing the statement that September was the highest WORLDWIDE temp ever with US local temps?

Apparently not so much to see in GOP investigation...released by the on a Friday evening....I see Fox must have missed the release....

Obamacare = End of the Republic Immigration Policy = End of Republic Yawn

Don't agree DC - If what POTUS does is not constitutional SCOTUS will review - correct? Or is it more fun to just call it not constitutional?

So some of the illegals living here who haven't gotten deported, probably wouldn't have gotten deported, now officially officially won't get deported....? Which of you posters life is going to change at all at 9PM tonite?

We have a model right now that guarantees a living wage - a GOP fave - the earned income tax credit

"Well, hopefully in 2016 a Republican wins POTUS, and Republicans win super majority in Senate, then things will get done. " In 4-5 bullet points -what would get done?

People who count on others to get their work done..Bills control their own destiny

Gosh. You guys are getting WAAAYYYYY too worked up ......cant enjoy the bye week....? This game really has no bearing on our Bills....sure I hate the Pats but to have them ruin my weekend? Now they own you.....

Damn Peyton still looks scared

"Our talent is on par with any team in the AFC IMO, probably only below the Broncos. But what player has improved under this offensive coaching staff (or Head Office)? This is a reason to be concerned" Kicking- Better QB - Much better Entire Defense - Better WR Corps - Better Oline - Not better - can't do it all at once

They won by twenty.....TWENTY......

Linking the Enquirer would have more weight....
