I, prophesy...(or is it prophesize?)

that the Republicans are going to make a push for the scheduled minimum wage increase, from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour that is scheduled to take effect July 24th of this year, to be cancelled or at least postponed due to the economic crisis.

And, some dunderhead will blame said economic crisis on the fact that the Democrats pushed through the original minimum wage increase bill and never mind the fact that it was Wall Street and the banking industry which caused this mess. Undoubtedly, the banks went haywire because they were forced to pay their tellers .75 cents more per hour...
