Midknight Review -- new and revised: Less than a month after California passes its $31,500 minimum wage bill (that's 15 per hour, folks) jobs are already being lost.

Less than a month after California passes its $31,500 minimum wage bill (that's 15 per hour, folks) jobs are already being lost.

Justin Holcomb / Townhall.com:

UC Berkeley Forced to Cut 500 Jobs After $15 Minimum Wage Hike — The $15 minimum wage hike in California has sent financially troubled UC Berkeley into decision making mode, and “the people who clean buildings, who work in food services or health clinics,” says Todd Stenhouse, will be the ones without a job.

Editor's notes: the cost of winning elections is not just the $15.00 per hour Democrat promise, but the price of all that additional welfare, demnaded by the millions who will lose their jobs.

Fact: 1975, minimum wage was $2.76 per hour with 15.5 million folks earning that wage. Today, minimum wage is $7.25 and less than 6 million work for that wage. And now, the geniuses in government, are proposing doubling that wage.

But the Dems don't have to answer for Baltimore, Chicago, Ferguson?

And what about Ohio, Florida and Texas, all states under GOP influence, all remarkably successful? No credit for that?

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
