Lt. Gov. Fetterman Supports Ending Filibuster, Increasing Minimum Wage If Elected To The Senate
John Fetterman should get Steve Schmidt on the election team effort – Fetterman and Schmidt are two bulls in the ‘reTRUMPlikkkCON political’ china shop.
@erin smith lose the tinfoil hat
@Belly Dancer Em Wake up braindead
@Ross piece of 💩💩💩
@Belly Dancer Em figure out your being lied to by the elites puppets in the media.
@DeadReckoning listen little kid. i know the truth is hard to come by on these elites media broadcast companies but you should try and do your own research instead of just repeating garbage propaganda you heard on tv from the establishments puppets.
The democratic party looks WEAK on $15 hour wages. Nothing gets passed on a stand alone bills.
@Budom K Effects of the $15 Option on Employment and Income. According to CBO’s median estimate, under the $15
option, 1.3 million workers who would otherwise be employed would be jobless in an average week in 2025.
(That would equal a 0.8 percent reduction in the number of employed workers.) CBO estimates that there is about
a two-thirds chance that the change in employment would lie between about zero and a reduction of 3.7 million workers (see Table 1)

There won’t be any jobs. Only a fool votes blue.
@elroy the great Go back to your quackanon faux news sites, this discussion is for adults only.
@elroy the great funny. We have the Pres. House and Senate. What do you think your wage will be if it passes. Only idiots vote red.
@imp thedimp I am self employed. I have two employees that are paid commission and can do well,. but most small businesses would not be able to afford $15. It would destroy many.
He’s great. Telling where he stands but you just know he’ll sit at the cool kids table.
And he’s 6 foot 8 inches.
A mountain of good cheer.
Fetterman is a great politician – really smart but down to earth vibe – plain spoken and progressive – funny and hate to say it – would definitely get a beer with him 🙂
I don’t drink, but I’d share a smoke!
I’m pro Wawa, but I would consider a Sheets. 😉
👍👍👍👍👍💕 throw that ham sandwich in the garbage!
Sedition curious. That’s a nice way of putting it. I like this guy and I have never been to the great state of Pennsylvania.
“If I’m curt with you, its because time is a factor.”
Pulp Fiction. Conversation between Jules Winfield and Vincent Vega. No?

The $15 an hour minimum wage is a joke! People that are making minimum wage now getting 25 to 30 hours a week will be cut to about 15 to 20 hours a week. so tell me where the $15 an hour is going to benefit anyone as a matter fact it’s going to cause some business to close the doors because they just can’t afford it.
How about acquiring some skills?
I love it 😍
He must succeed in order to get Pennsylvanians back on board with working for America and no longer work for Vladimir Putin.
If you adjust for inflation, the minimum wage is less than in the 70s.
And there were more small businesses in the 70s.
I made $3.35 an hour washing dishes in 1982.
I make $ 7.25 an hour in 2021 delivering pizza.
@Jonathan Mol That’s horrible hon. Hoping that the minimum wage is increased so you can live better. America has to do better. 🤷🏾
@G d I make $ 4.25 on the road plus tips and a 33 cent per mile. Every 2 weeks I get a check for $336. I am really relying on the tips.
I am trying to pass additional pesticide license tests to increase my income 3x.
Right now I only make enough to apply for Medicaid. 😢
This guy rocks and is exactly the kind of person we need in public office. Tells the truth, calls out the bs, & takes no crap. Vote for him Pennsylvania!
Good for him- Pat Toomey is a dinosaur; PA needs a Senator that has fresh, real ideas.
He is so good when you want everything be straight
I love John Fetterman. He’s a smart, brave, and fair-minded politician. I’m an independent, so I look for leaders with good policies. This guy’s got the right ideas.
