I like the cut of your jib. I'm going to have to use this one in the future.

Anyone ever think of the issue of inflation and how although it continues to rise, the federal minimum wage is not matching it?


That's like complaining that the store doesn't sell size 100 pants after you gain 50 lbs. The problem isn't the fact that the store only sells pants for normal people, the problem is your fat ass doesn't hit the treadmill often enough.

Likewise, we wouldn't need to raise the minimum wage if we didn't keep borrowing/creating money out of thin air and run up huge deficits by spending like drunken sailors. We shouldn't have minimum wage at all.

It sounds as if you're against inflation. Inflation is actually good for the economy because it causes people to invest their money, thus being a good stimulant. Without inflation, people would just hold on to their money and not put it into the economy, making living conditions worse for everyone.
