Republican makes the case for at least $9.00 minimum wage.

Marsha Blackburn, Republican, talks about her first job and the 2.10 she made.  If you compare what she got paid and look at what that equates to now, a person would have to make $12.00 dollars when you factor in inflation over the years.  Republican Blackburn just made the case that the minimum needs to rise significantly.  She was a single kid living at home at the time.  She was not trying to raise a family as many who are on minimum wage now.
