[MFP] How to Boost the Economy According to Bill Clinton

If the U.S. raised the minimum wage, 28 million workers would get a raise and 2 million people would be lifted out of poverty. It would boost the U.S economy!
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do
Père, pardonne-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font.

"If you raise the minimum wage in a phased way, it always creates jobs. Why? Because people who make the minimum wage or near it are struggling to get by. They spend every penny they make, they turn it over in the economy."
Bill Clinton
