DeLay advocates for minimum wage

Without realizing it, Tom DeLay makes the main argument for minimum wage. When discussing the House's vote to give itself a pay raise, Delay remarked:

"It's not a pay raise," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. "It's an adjustment so that they're not losing their purchasing power."

Far be it for the House of Representatives to lose their "purchasing power". Odd that this doesn't translate to minimum wage workers.
