This'n'That; April Sixth #2; 'Ya Can't Fix STUPID!'

New York State Assembly Promotes Poverty
    Right after 'the-three-white-men-in-a-backroom' fashioned the next New York State budget--which incidently, gives welfareRATs a 10%'raise'--they're going after the individuals and businesses whose taxes pay for said budget. 
    The same three pasty-white guys want to raise New York's minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour.  With their 'fuzzy-math,' this increased labor cost will create 4,800 additional jobs; generate $600,000,000 in annual economic activity.  The major problem here is--as is the norm--downstate will reap the benefits while upstate, the North Country and western New York will 'pay-the-piper!'
    How can these guys, the "smartest people in the room," reconcile increased labor expense with a net-increase in jobs?!?  It only stands-to-reason in this owe-bamaDepression that employers--fearful of the future--will lay-off enough workers to bring the total labor expense back to the pre-raise level.  How tough is that to understand?!?
Exactly how does an increased cost-of-doing-business 'generate $600 million in increased economic activity?!?' 
"Beats the snot out'a me!!"
"Ya can't fix STUPID!!"
