What I find interesting about this article is the similarity to the excise tax proposal I linked to here.

THINK PROGRESS goes bananas [nothing new there] because McDonalds has the temerity to try to help their low-wage employees learn to budget.

And their 'recommendation' is ... what? Unemployment? Welfare? Nope. Reading the nuance between the lines, which is what liberals do so well, it is for McDonalds to go out of business.

Which results in ... unemployment ... and welfare.

HEH: "Turn Detroit into a national park, to show our kids the wonders of 'Government Help'.”

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Alaska challenges Obama administration over ANWR. If Obama can just ignore Congress, then why shouldn't states just ignore him?
