We are supposed to cheer.
The problem is, no one except a bunch of worthless politicians and Democratic Party hacks along with a few millionaire labor leaders are doing any cheering even though everyone appreciates a raise.
So; why aren't U.S. workers cheering?
Millions are still unemployed.
Millions are still under-employed as part-time workers.
And millions more receiving the Minimum Wage are fully aware their wages will remain poverty wages when compared to actual cost-of-living which no one seems to want to talk about.
And; oh, yes; the employers are cheering because these poverty wages will assure them of huge super-profits for many years to come.

Check it out; not one state in this country provides a Minimum Wage that is a real living wage when compared to actual cost-of-living figures:

Democrats across the country promised "living wages, non-poverty wages" when running for office. Once elected they delivered Minimum Wage "increases" which remain poverty wages.
Not one single newspaper so much as mentioned the promises made versus what was delivered. Wouldn't it be terrible if the mainstream media's over-paid pundits passing themselves off as journalists were to actually ask these politicians why they failed to deliver on their campaign promises of real living, non-poverty Minimum Wages?

I find it amazingly hypocritical that these mainstream media pundits would be paid so well for peddling lies and half-truths in the name of covering this struggle for living wages while people working their butts off trying to survive are paid such miserly poverty wages.
And the hypocrisy of these Wall Street bribed politicians who give themselves raise after raise for squandering the wealth of the Nation on militarism and wars goes unchecked.
This capitalist system is so rotten to the core with corruption that it stinks.
Something to think about:
The same government which uses the levers of power to minimize wages has never used its governmental levers to restrict profits.
