Video

In contrast, small businesses in lower-cost cities and rural communities may struggle to survive under the same federal mandate. The discussion explores how differences in local wages, operating costs, and cost of living can make a one-size-fits-all minimum wage policy much more difficult for small-town employers than for major corporations in large cities.

Democrats Want a Shutdown, and Republicans Should Act Accordingly

Washington is barreling toward another funding deadline, and Senate Democrats seem increasingly willing to use the threat of a government shutdown as political leverage.
