House Republicans oppose increasing the minimum wage. claiming that it costs jobs. Wrong again. For every increase in the minimum wage. it has been accompanied by an expanding economy. House Republicans opposing comprehensive immigration reform. wrong again. Studies conducted by groups as far apart as the Chamber of Commerce and the AFLCIO indicate that the gross domestic product will grow $1.5 trillion over 10 years. This is a sorry track record of economic forecasting. and therefore. this budget is one that I have to oppose because it favors the wealthy over working class families and those struggling to enter or remain in the middle class.
