The minimum wage, sure I think it needs a small hike and should be a 2 tiered approach in some higher cost of living places....but who should be working on this wage? ....teenagers, maybe early 20s-college kids, part-timers, older folks who may want supplemental income, maybe a spouse who is not the primary wage earner....That's kinda who should be making this.

I really think folks should strive for a higher wage. Some rather make this wage and receive assistance from the government. If you don't think this is true, you should have worked with me when I worked for VCU and worked within the poorer communities of the city.

Folks, Im awestruck at the lack of talk about education in this campaign. This is how you lift folks up. It affects a ton of other issues, especially income inequality, minimum wage, entitlement programs, government spending, etc.

This is really a dumb country. For some reason folks want hand outs...its easier I guess. Free college, free health, free family leave, free everything...

Even $15/hr is a barely livable wage. $10 is a poverty wage.

Fact is wages have been stagnant for far too long. And with so many manufacturing jobs flying out of the country, lower paying jobs like retail/fast food are no longer just for students or housewives. When someone is working two jobs with no healthcare and they need assistance as well, that's just a disgrace. I see this sort of thing every day in my work.

Bernie has been talking about education all along. He's the only candidate that's beating that drum.

[quote=Chico23231;1139599]No, the problem is special interest and lobbiest who buy and sell influence within the political system. It's no great secret.

That's why trump and Bernie are doing so well.[/quote]

maybe you misread my post? the problem with outsiders isn't special interests or lobbyist, that's the problem with our political system, which, i assume is the point you wanted to make.

How much is he expected to accomplish when he's had a do nothing Congress who's made it their sole mission to stonewall him on anything. Good legislation, bad legislation, it quite frankly didn't matter what Obama suggested, the GOP was going to do the opposite just to spite him and show their constituents they are "anti-Obama". How else can you explain how they are already gearing up to stop any SCOTUS nomination BEFORE any nominee has ever been announced. All of those pricks should lose their positions come election time. Hopefully the Senate and House can regain some positions back.

Look at this shit. A piece of shit Senator filibustering his OWN legislation.

That said, Obama is still a shitty ass President and deserves his share of the ill will towards the shit that's gone on the past 7 years.
