WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Feb 24, 2021 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880 Washington District of Columbia is as liberal as any American city. 0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.840 In two thousand and sixteen, they voted for Hillary just 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.600 to give you an idea. I mean, it's a liberal paradise, supposedly, 0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.560 so this news is amusing. Less than a month ago, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.560 Washington voters approved a big minimum wage increase for people 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.439 who get tips as part of their income. The vote 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.920 guaranteed a minimum wage of fifteen bucks an hour by 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.360 twenty six by which time a lot of residents will 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.560 have died. But the DC City Council has decided the 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.400 voters were wrong. You see, in the poorest areas, the 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.839 unemployment rates over nine percent. That's way worse than the 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.400 rest of the country. So the city council liberals, they 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.440 looked at what happened to Seattle. They raised a minimum wage, 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.880 a bunch of restaurants closed, a bunch of jobs were lost. 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.920 So the Washington City Council decided they didn't want to 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.479 have any jobs lost. It's bad enough as it is, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.080 so less than a month after it was approved, these 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.240 liberals are gonna kill the minimum wage increase. They'd rather 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.080 have jobs. They'd rather have people working than talking points. 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.000 It does don't happen often, sometimes even liberals have to 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.760 face reality. But I predict they'll screw this up somehow, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.160 because they never get it right in the end.
