        @USDOL @askgeorge your actions will add millions into the poverty lines by agreeing to so called Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014.

        @USDOL ...so you'll raise the minimum wage, but not adjust poverty line definition to account for price increases as a result?

        @USDOL No, actually it wouldn't, once every company in America raises their prices & the $1 menu becomes the $5 menu. WAKE UP MORONS!

        @USDOL its a nice thought, but providers will just raise their prices and wipe it out. The other end is we pay more for less.
