Ross

I believe the answer is:

whats the damage

'how much?' is the definition.
(phrase used to ask the cost of something)

'wage that shamed liberal's' is the wordplay.
'liberal's' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'liberal' mean this).
'wage'+'that'+'shamed'='wagethatshamed'
'wagethatshamed' is an anagram of 'WHATS THE DAMAGE'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
