'Such a dumb tweet': Obama economic adviser needs a better case for #RaiseTheWage [photo]

Speaking of stupid, check out what this member of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers shared with her followers today:

Did you know that more than half of minimum wage workers are women? It's time to #RaiseTheWage pic.twitter.com/avInFPaZUJ

What’s your point, Betsey? Other than the one on your head, that is?

@CEABetsey @WhiteHouse Did you know that more than half of the population are women? #notnews

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2013, women made up 50.8 percent of the American population. That’s … more than half. Which means Stevenson’s case for raising the minimum wage is even weaker than most of the other bogus ones out there.

@CEABetsey @WhiteHouse Did you know that more than half the US population is made up of women? It's time we bring up irrelevant facts!

@CEABetsey @WhiteHouse Since more than half of all Americans are women, explain why this is surprising.

@CEABetsey Can we get some numbers here? More than half of Americans are women and how do I know that this is not proportional? #jimgoode

@CEABetsey @3avenuea I might be surprised if over half the population wasnt female as well.

Yeah, well, logic is hard. For Dems, anyway.
