Don’t spend the $1.50 all in one place.

Clueless little troll. This is what you sound like when you parrot Nancy Pelosi, which seems like most of the time.

Do a bit of research, and you'll find out what the numbers actually look like. For someone like me, it'll be about $1300, which is like getting an extra paycheck or two in a year. If you don't think that'll be felt by the average Joe and be very helpful to the average family, you're a lost cause.

Paul Ryan said what he said about a $1.50 pay raise. Don't pin Ryan's cluelessness on Chicks.

BTW, your article shows that a person earning $50k per year gets a 1.4% raise ($570), whereas a person earning $500K gets a 4.3% ($21,240). It seems this article supports Chicks' assertion and refutes yours.

Apparently you cherry picked the article and ignored my post. Typical.

Your posts are worthless and exhibit your inability to comprehend the very articles you cite. If you have a complaint about cherry-picking, take that up with yer boy, Devin Nunes.

How would you know? You didn't even read my post. Its pretty damn funny that you question my comprehension when you don't even bother to read the post.

You're projecting again, Mike.
