Nancy Pelosi: If we win in 2018, 'in the first 100 hours we will pass a $15 minimum wage'

We could have had taco trucks, America, but you blew it. Don't blow this one.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday vowed to take up a $15 minimum wage in the first 100 hours of the next Congress if Democrats take back the chamber next year. [...]

If "we win the election," Pelosi told the gathered audience, "in the first 100 hours we will pass a $15 minimum wage."

This is, of course, extremely upsetting to the same people currently irate that Americans currently have too much health insurance. They will be breaking out all their buzzwords for this one.

"This is a significant moment since it confirms that the Democrat Party is now in the hands of extreme liberals that have more in common with European Socialism than the free enterprise principles that have guided America for generations," Jeremy Adler, spokesman for the conservative group America Rising, said in a statement.

Ye gods. Haven't seen that much scenery-chewing since Mr. Fluffers played the lead in our elementary school adaptation of Grease. Somebody get this man a pill.
