    • Economic research supports raising the minimum wage - July 10, 2012 by Thehill.com - In fact, President Obama argued for raising the minimum wage to $9.50 last year, and there is only one bill in the House that would set a similar figure: H.R. 5727 (and it would raise it to $9.80 by 2014, not $9.50). But facts just get in Saltsman's way.
