      <description>Moderated by Mr. Herman, three authors discussed living in America while working for minimum wage as "unskilled" workers. The authors argued that no job is truly "unskilled," and that all workers, even those in the lowliest occupations find pride in a job well done and should be treated with intrinsic dignity. The panelists answered questions from members of the audience.

      <title>Minimum Wage</title>
      <description>Committee members heard testimony from economists and small business owners concerning the economic impacts of raising the minimum wage. They testified about whether a raise would cause a rise in unemployment, especially among young people and other consequences. Much of the economic testimony focused on a New Jersey study, cited by those who support raising the minimum wage, which concludes that raising the minimum wage does not increse unemploymeny. Reps. McIntosh and Hutchinson have proposed to increase minimum wage workers' net income by tax reductions, rather than a wage increase.</description>

      <title>Twenty Years of Wage and Price Controls</title>
      <description>The Heritage Foundation, a non-profit public policy research center, sponsored a forum examining the effect of President Nixon's wage and price controls on the economy and the country since they went into effect August 15, 1971. The wage and price controls prohibited wage and price increases for a 90 day period in the United States, with the intention of creating stability in wages and prices. Participants in the forum argued over the results of the wage and price freeze, which Mr. Pines said reduced America's economic competitiveness and did not aid the economy. Mr. Niskanen called the wage and price controls one of the grossest abuses of presidential power since World War II, despite the high public favor it enjoyed at its inception. He said the event marked another step in the erosion of public law in American economic life.</description>
