Online headline/story: "California Minimum Wage Increase To $10 An Hour Passes Both Houses, Gov. Brown Expected To Sign * Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, (D-Los Angeles), disputed the claim that raising the minimum wage would reduce jobs. “The real winner here is the economy. A $10 hour minimum wage boosts earnings by $4,000 a year and will put $2.6 billion dollars back into the hands of workers,” -- Is there a "Stupid School" for California Congress People?

If anything needs to be done now in Syria, it's to let ASSwad wipe out Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaida rebels, then, and only then take out ASSwad's regime. Syria does not need jihadist rebels to take over because we armed them. This is not a revolution for freedom.
