Letter Of The Day

Congressman Jim Nussle’s office announced an April fundraising dinner featuring President George W. Bush for a paltry $200 a plate. For the many, many Iowans earning the minimum wage of $5.15, that’s dinner for 38.83 hours of labor, or 4.85 eight-hour work days. Not exactly a happy meal.
