This is one of the better cartoons on AWA's.
AWA's are designed to lower the minimium wage--its to high---and it needs to fall, in real terms, to allow the country to compete internationally, and to keep prices low; and to create flexibility so that in bad economic times, companies can shed staff or lower wages quickly and without penalty, to stay afloat.
