We are having a fuel crisis, our military is stretched thin, we are about to have a LOT of homeless people, we could have a war with N.Korea, Iran, or ect. possibly soon, and minimum wage is getting less and less capable of supporting a family. Damned. Is it going to get better or worse?

I was married to a woman with depression for 10 years.

If the country goes into one, I'll refuse to participate.

minimum wage was never intended to support a family. the only people staying at minimum wage level are complete losers and kids.

losers that have aquired no marketable skills or have no drive to advance. we've all been there at one time or another but if you can't progrees beyond that level something is horribly wrong with you.

the military is thin but not THAT thin.

fuel prices will be the biggest hurt we will take but i beleive even that will subside. On the bright side this will destroy the envirodumbasses.

Nope, in fact the aftermath will be greater prosperity as we rebuild. We will be churning out H1Bs by the boatload just to meet the demand for people that we don't have.

Where did the idea come from that minimum wage was supposed to feed a wife and kids? It never was!
