President Joe Biden’s progressive base is trying to drown both him and the country with destructive election-year demands.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus has issued its policy agenda for a Democratic majority after the 2024 elections. It includes forcing a one-size-fits-all federal minimum wage of $17 an hour on the entire country, a move that even several Senate Democrats recognized would destroy businesses in some communities just three years ago when the proposal was at $15. The CPC also wants to force workers to pay union dues by passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.
