California approved $15 minimum wage

This article talks about California first state to bump up the minimum wage to $15. Both the State and the Senate passed this on Thursday. Senator Mark Leno said that "no one who is working full time ld live in poverty due to a low wage. They are planning to slowly increase the wage year by year and will give small business owners a year longer to adjust to this. This is supposed to be done in 2020. So California's minimum wage is going to go from ten dollars to fifteen dollars. Kevin De Leon did a study and found out that 32% of the states workforce is living on the minimum wage. Now that California is doing this New York lawmakers are considering to do the same.
I believe that raising the minimum wage is going to hurt lots of people that were doing very well before they change the wage. I believe this because the owners of the company are going to let lots od their workers leave because they cant pay them. This will also hurt the company because then they will have less workers to get the job done. So this means that the workers and owner will have to work longer. Raising the wage will mostly hurt small business's.      
This relates to AP Government because we have been talking about people applying for jobs and we watched a news clip about all the different sides of this.

Trump is a fraud

This article is about Mitt Romney, a 2012 Republican nominee, has stepped up his criticism of Donald Trump. On Thursday night Romney said that Donald trump is a phony and a fraud. He then went on and said that all of Trumps promises are a lie and that Donald bullies people. After Mitt Romney said that speech Trump comments back by mocking Romney's loss in the 2012 campaign at Maine. Trump also added on twitter that "Mitt Romney would be down on his knees for my endorsement."

I  honestly don't really have an opinion on this but if I had to have one I would say that I believe all of those things that Mitt Romney said. I also do not like trump so that is why I like all of those things that he said about trump.
