Democrats Want To Make NM's Minimum Wage Highest In The U.S.

The Looney Left Report

Elections have consequences, especially when those elected are idiot Democrats.

The latest, as reported by Piñon Post, is that they want to raise New Mexico's minimum wage to the highest amount in the U.S.

According to the article:

Despite even mainstream news organizations shining a light on the harmful ramifications of the newly increased $12 per hour minimum wage, Democrats in the state legislature are doubling down on their attempts to raise the wage even higher.

State Rep. Christine Chandler (D-Los Alamos), who chairs the New Mexico House Taxation and Revenue Committee, told the Santa Fe New Mexican that she is “introducing a bill to raise the minimum wage to $16 per hour by January 2024, which would be the highest statewide minimum wage in the country.”

The outlet further reported, “Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero, D-Albuquerque, also plans to introduce minimum or ‘living wage’ legislation raising it above $15 per hour.”

“Fifteen dollars might not be enough for a living wage,” she said. “Right now I’m leaning toward something higher than $15.”

Currently, the highest minimum wage in the country is in California at $15 per hour.

How does $15 for a filet-o-fish, medium fries and a medium Coke sound to you? This is the likely result if the lunatics get their way. Real inflation-fighters, aren't they?
