The above statement is absolutely true, which is why Rep. Nancy Pelosi went ahead and said it anyway:
Joined @askgeorge and @USDOL today in calling on GOP to #raisethewage to $10.10. If we do, we can create 85,000 jobs. pic.twitter.com/9wZo0YBlxm

If that would create 85,000 jobs, why not raise it even higher and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in Nancy Pelosi’s fantasy-land?
@NancyPelosi @askgeorge @USDOL Why not just raise the minimum wage to $100/hr so we all get rich. Wouldn't that work? #Keynsianeconomics

Comments and questions from a more realistic realm:
@NancyPelosi @askgeorge @USDOL How does raising the wage can create 85,000 jobs. You should say we will lose 85,000 jobs

@NancyPelosi @askgeorge @USDOL Thousands will be laid off

@NancyPelosi @askgeorge @USDOL How many people would lose jobs at that rate? We need job creation; gov needs to leave business alone.

Remember, in the twisted world of liberal economics, unemployment checks create jobs.
