Only in America…

… do you get a minimum wage boost through an emergency war spending bill.

I’ve always found it strange the way that they tack unrelated things to must-pass legislation just to force them through the legislature… it seems so underhanded and strange. If you can’t get a bill through the legislature on its own merit, then it probably shouldn’t pass! This whole “hiding things in other things” seems designed to bypass normal legislative procedures and stop discussion.
