Every hour spent investigating a drug user or seller is an hour that could have been used to find a missing child.
If you're making $10 an hour and you're doing your job and you're doing it well and your check is consistently $8.75 an hour, who wouldn't stand up for themselves?
As we continue down the path of automation, virtually every city will have 24-hour convenience stores, 24-hour libraries, 24-hour banks, 24-hour churches, 24-hour schools, 24-hour movie theaters, 24-hour bars and restaurants, and even 24-hour shopping centers.
I could be stranded in any town in the United States with ten cents and within an hour make $20 with the shell game.
While she [Hillary Clinton] may have a - give lip service to progressive issues, she led the charge, and there she definitely did, in Haiti, to push down the minimum wage from 60 cents an hour down to 40 cents an hour.

Why do they give us bulletins every single day on the latest poll? Very easy to cover a poll, right?
