“I rise in support of the Employee Commuting Flexibility Act which is a good piece of legislation that we really should be talking about which allows employees to use the company car to go home, saves fuel, and is good for the environment, but instead we keep talking about the minimum wage. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle suddenly in this election year have all this compassion for the minimum wage workers. What they do not seem to have compassion for is all of the people that they are going to unemploy by mandating from Washington, that their salary goes up. The gentleman from Indiana said it previously. Thousands and thousands of people have lost their job every single time the Congress raised the minimum wage. Every economist report except one reports that people have lost their job. But I do not think you care about them losing their job. You care about getting reelected. You care about who is in control of this body. That is why you are making a big deal out of it.”
