With the US economy as volitile as it is, all it would take is "one small pebble to start an avalanche". It is imperative that we as a people know what is best for ourselves as a whole and act accordingly for the good of the people.

I'm not the most active politico around,and I don't think Bush is/was a great President, but my memory tells me that the Dems forced the minimum wage issue and Bush signed a compromise bill into law to appease them.
