I can't support this amended version.

It discourages the hiring of younger, less experienced workers. If we are selling this as a living wage, let it apply to those who are likeliest to have to support themselves. And if not, there should be no age cutoff.

I'm offering an amendment to change 18 back to 21.

While this is what I initially preferred, I want this to pass, and the President was opposed to 21...

I feel like we could override a veto.

Aye.

This bill will reduce some of my region's competitive disadvantages with growth and the labor market.

Honestly, the vote totals on this should be way closer. I mean, I support the bill and all,  but I don't understand why the right wingers actually forgo the easy fight.
