What about Manchin? Ollie Garkie Feb 2021 #11

He has said he's against $15/hr, would be OK w $11/hr - don't know if this is phased in or not. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 2021 #16
It was always phased in. From the beginning. So Manchin never made sense. Nanjeanne Feb 2021 #18
Just not sure what actual text inserted in the bill is - if it starts at or below $11, Fiendish Thingy Feb 2021 #19

Oh. Sorry. Yes it was announced by Progressive Caucus. As you say, small steps Nanjeanne Feb 2021 #28
FIRST step! :) Hortensis Feb 2021 #30
Ooops! Nanjeanne Feb 2021 #31
Even if it means it fails because we lose Manchin and maybe one other? nt LAS14 Feb 2021 #22
Don't know. I would think Nancy Pelosi has spoken to whomever in the Senate she needs to before Nanjeanne Feb 2021 #24
What about the CBO report that this would cause a loss of 1.4 million jobs? Marius25 Feb 2021 #29
