min wage increases dont take effect usually until the next year or few years as well. I just think that its a bit messed up that congress decides that they need or deserve a pay increase but at the same time the sentate would knock this down when the min wage hasnt increased since 1998. this bill would have increased the min wage to $7.25 starting in 2009. I think its hypocritical to keep the min wage down but increase their own checks when members make over 150 grand a year.
