Minimum Wage Increase? WTF?

The "W" stands for "When" in this case. I read like a year ago about there being a vote to increase the minimum wage in the United States. It was approved and they announced it on the news and democrats were praised and alot of people were so grateful. Now I read in the news again today that there is a new bill to increase minimum wage from 5.15 to 7.25? WTF is that? It was 5.15 for the last 10 years or so so obviously the vote from last time didn't mean a fucking thing? Is that the way this works? Passed vote after passed vote and nothing happened? Come on...fucking ridiculous. Makes no sense at all. They keep talking about getting shit done in the House and Senate but nothing at all has been done. Just talk talk talk.
