If you make the minimum wage- and you're waiting for a raise- you'll have to wait a little longer.

((After weeks of sparring, Republican house leaders agreed to vote on a 90 cent increase which would raise the minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.15 an hour over the next two years.
But GOP leaders want to exempt from the hike small businesses involved in interstate commerce, with annual gross sales of over a half million dollars. Other exemptions, newly hired employees under the age of 20 will continue to receive the current wage for the first 90 days they are employed. Those who receive tips stay at the lower wage, and computer professionals making over $27.00 an hour would no longer get overtime.
But it was the small business exemption that had Democrats promising to vote against the whole thing.
REP. ROSA DELAURO/D-CT: IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES 10 MILLION HARD WORKING AMERICANS WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE INCREASE AND MILLIONS MORE WHO ARE ALREADY COVERED WILL LOSE THEIR COVERAGE.
As Democrats argued that those who work for minimum wage find themselves at a 40 year low in purchasing power, republicans proposed the opposite argument that a forced higher wage on businesses will mean fewer jobs.
REP. JD HAYWORTH/R-AZ: DO YOU EMPOWER ALL IN THIS COUNTRY TO ACHIEVE ALL THEY CAN OR DO YOU HAVE THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH CAPRICIOUS ACTION TELL THOSE WHO CREATE JOBS. NO WE ARE GOING TO PENALIZE YOU FOR TRYING TO CREATE JOBS. Tied to all of this is the gas tax repeal passed by the house with some disputed provisions. The White House said the president will agree to the repeal only if he gets a clean minimum wage hike. Regina Blakely CBS News, Capitol Hill.)
