small businesses, if they have to raise wages $leanne hour. $leanne hour, and try to pass that on they could end up losing their business and shooting down operation,. >> leave i to a former cysler ceo to say theinimum wage hike d going to crash and burn the economy. you get as we said 9 thousand out of poverty but you push 500,000 out of work. numbers that administration refutes. matt, why you do think that they ar errorring on the conservative side. >> you look at study after decide, it shows raisi the minimum wage results in job loss, in this particular study, you have a lot of people, reporting half a million jobe

losses,embership others saying a million or more, fact that people will -- are going to be hurt by the increase of minimum wage, they say it is fighting poverty, how is it fighting poverty if you lose your job. neil: do you find it a tad odd, when cbo says data that supports administration argument they are for it and when they dispute it they are against it, by way they are not only ones to do this. having said that ishe cbo reliable or not. >> to be fair they since that sized the available science, we dot haveo look at what economists say we could look in the real world, states that raised minimum wage. we've seen there a net effect on
11:26 pm
jobs. in many of them the unemployment rate fell faster than the national average. neil: are you pegging it to those wages going up? or other factors that might be at play, like a booming state economy that does not mirror what is going on nionaly. >> a combination, but increasing minimu wage, giving people more purchasing power, means those businesses grow. the economy grows, then the consumer-economy makes sense. . neil: that moneys those consumers and their increase pay has not pushed some other folks they are working with out of work, it stands to reason, if you are a boss, someone will get the short end of that stick. >> there are pluses and minuses, but when you get 17 milli people, an increase in pay, 900 thousand people out of postie, and net effect is zero that i a

11:28 pm
times we had raised minimum wage, but wn we have, it has not been the end of the year. >> i'm not saying the end of the year, but when you have a weak recovery, like now, why would you to anything, on top of obamacare and out of control spending? why would we do anything to make the unemployment picture worse. neil: either your view that recovery is not so weak? >> fair to say. >>ou should tell others that. >> fair -- look, fair to say, think that business opinion on this is split you haveome businesses that are concerned about what it will do to their bottom lines, but there are a lot of businesses like costco for example,ay let's raise the minim wage, they think by investing in their works, tt increasing worker product, and retention rates, sure we pay a litter more in payroll, on thehole we're better for it. neil: i guess the proof will be in the pudding if we get the
