If a cabinet slot is available for someone with common sense please let me know. As it presently stands, I have not seen or heard of anyone citing the problem as actually finding a decent place to live off of a minimum wage salary. Please exclude Section 8 housing, as I am talking about a straight 40 hour week minimum wage take home check when I make this statement. When the housing market was booming, so many people found themselves locked out of the process until the plan was hatched to sell real estate by any means necessary. Thus the bust and the numerous foreclosure episodes. As it goes, the lending companies and the banks should be sending out checks to all of those affected by the bait and switch process. But then again, who really has testicular fortitude to do the right thing without being prodded, threatened, or sued to do so? Once again it is time to wake up everybody just one person at a time can make a difference. Can I start it off? When a person struggles regardless of the circumstances, we all indirectly suffer to some extent. Even though sometimes we bring alot of misery on ourselves, there are some circumstances we that are natural impediments. Until the housing market comes to grip with the affordability issue, we have what we have. So let us deal with it in a responsible and effective manner. Peace out Papacool.

Businesses unchecked WILL take advantage of employees. Yes, minimum wage does need to be raised. Gas prices have increased 90% since Obama took office and food prices have raised roughly 30%. The problem isn’t raising minimum wage the problem is unchecked government spending (deficit spending) which fuels inflation. No one on here is complaining when government borrows 5 dollars for every 1 dollar it prints but when you start seeing the effects then like ignorant sheepole you complain about the latent effects of bad decisions.

I am not trying to come off as being mean but when you write such a ignorant piece based on a latent effect of overall bad government policy then I want to point our your deficiency in knowledge and insight.

Start with deficit spending, then progress to increased taxation and government regulation, then progress to middle east instability and energy prices and then…then you will start to understand inflation, rising cost of living and the FALSE-Fix of raising the minimum wage as a solution.

Oh sorry, to properly start this cause effect chain you would have to start with partisan ideology, and corruption and then move forward with the cause effect chain which leads up to increases in minimum wage and more illegal immigrants pouring across the boarder for “higher-low wage jobs”.
