but i was -- i kind of expected all the republicans obviously to be against waging the minimum wage but disappointed that they didn't point out that there's already a policy in place which is better than a minimum wage for boosting incomes of low income workers and that's something called the earned income tax credit which is a wage subsidy which tops off worker incomes. that should be expanded. it really is a kind of a conservative approach to helping lower income workers and i wish republicans had mentioned it as opposed to just saying they're against the minimum wage. >> going into that debate there was a lot of focus on how jeb bush was going to perform. he had a terrible third debate. could he turn around his campaign just with the help of the fourth debate? >> i think that was sort of a stop the bleeding moment. i'm not sure we'll see him sparkle and take over. we have seen who is good at this which is marco rubio and ted cruz and carly fiorina and donald trump in his own way. so the bush campaign is depending on fantastic performances by jeb bush i'm not sure that's ever going to

cynthia: what about the talk of the minimum wage? that was one place where they did contrast. hillary said she would support a $12 minimum wage. the other said $15. kathie: what we were trying to get at there is that bernie sanders is kind of brushing off the idea that there would be job loss, with the almost doubling of the minimum wage. in iowa we are at $7.25, cost of living here is lower than it is in new york, seattle, places like that, and there is concern about job loss. hillary clinton was trying to say -- ok, my plan is more prudent because it is only $12 per hour and there is more research to support that being sustainable. but honestly, politically, barack obama could not get a $10.10 minimum wage passed. the question is whether it is really academic or they can actually do something about it. kevin: this is -- dennis: this is one of the general problems with these messages in these claims. i asked bernie sanders once -- how are you going to a compost this and work with your republican congress? his answer seems to be that she uses the term revolution, which i think

payment, i figured franc, was also made in people could go to get medical treatment abroad. the minimum payment was what a college professor would have earned in two years time. is a great thing for the polish women. it was one of the most touching moments in my experience. there is a group of them waiting at the airport in poland to greet me when i came as a guest of the polish government, to express their appreciation for the effort. that was one of the categories of claims outside of the normal range. there were many others, labor claims that i dealt with in detail in my book "less than slaves." it is now out of print. would print the paper back and again of that book which has many useful lessons. it has been translated into german, japanese, the basis of a good german television show, and i hoped some could be done. there are other issues that have shaped my memory. another comes to mind as we talk. rabbis.payments for the you raise your eyebrows, no one has ever heard of it. we asserted a claim during the for payment to all of the officials of the jewish congregations. jewish cong

minimum wage. what they found was that a '91, '96, '97, each time the federal government raised the minimum wage jobsw in the months following that. in the height of the crisis while the economy was overall careening, actually in the months following an increase in the federal minimum wage we did actually see the unemployment rate tick up. so it is impossible to say that there is a conclusion, what dr. carson said is false. the congressional budget office says, if we did raise the mem r minimum rage to $9 an hour that could result in 200,000 jobs lost. overall they say the impact on the job market would be insignificant. it's hard to say but what dr. carson said is false. >> speaking of wages, let's check in on what marco rubio said about welders, for example. >> for the life of me i don't know why we've stigmatized vocational education. welders make more money than philosophers. we need more welders and less philosophers. >> do welders make more or less than philosophers? >> they make less. it's a nice talking point. senator rubio said this when he was trying to call for more vocational training. nu

i know he was talking specifically about the minimum wage and how that would affect was raised. exactly? >> well, his basic claim is every time you raise the minimum wage it raises unemployment in the country. it's a favorite talking point of some of the conservatives in this country. here's the problem with that statement, though. even when you say something like that, the facts just don't bear it out. look at these years. every year here the minimum wage raised -- you can see in 1950 it was very small -- it went up but look at the number of unemployed people over the next year. in every case, it went down. now, that doesn't mean every time you raise the minimum wage it goes down. but his claim that it always goes the opposite way is also not true. the bottom line is, raising minimum wage raises unemployment is just false, brooke. >> that's interesting. on to senator marco rubio, got a huge applause for his comments about welders making more than philosophers. is that true? >> well, this is an interesting claim here. welders make more money than philosophers. big applause. a lo
