So there's a bill to increase minimum wage for the first time in a decade, but of course the Republicans have jammed it into the same bill that provides a huge inheritance tax cut to millionaires. I have to give the Republicans some credit - this was a pretty sneaky way to get their tax cut. What are the Democrats going to do? Vote against raising the minimum wage?

Lou Dobbs has an interesting commentary about how Congress has raised their own salary every year for the last decade while still not raising minimum wage:
