Not surprised at all! I’m also not surprised that trump’s pick said that he felt the “minimum wage” was a state issue! trump is making everything a state issue so he doesn’t take the blame for anything; all while ripping off the people to feed his wealthy friends!

If it’s all a state issue then from now on all of the blue states should keep their tax money and let those red states fend for themselves. Then we’ll see how they like it.

Yes, it really is cute how this future cabinet member can decide for himself that a federal law can and should be administered by states. Can't wait til the Dept of Justice says they Military can and should be overseen by the states. Maybe we will see the title of Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces turned over to the states.

It’s very inconsistent what’s ‘state’ and what ‘federal’ issue, they decide that according to what the better way is to impose their will.

Not unlike SCOTUS and ‘originalism’.
