Senate Democrats: Time for equal pay. Republicans: Nuh-uh.
"You would think that closing the wage gap and strengthening equal pay laws would not be controversial. The Equal Pay Act is nearly a half-century old now, and although it went a long way toward closing the pay gap, it didn't do enough. The Paycheck Fairness Act would close some of the loopholes in that act and strengthen and enforce existing laws to finally end wage discrimination. Seems fair, right? Seems uncontroversial, right? Wrong. Because of course the Republicans don't think the wage gap is a real issue."
