The article was addressing middle America. The woman in the article is raising two teenage boys in what looks like a suburban home.I think the implication is that middle America is losing ground. It is, and has, for many years. Minimum wage will not support families.

Regardless of party, we privatize the profits and socialize the losses. Corporatism is not party specific.

Makes me wonder why anyone thinks the two party system is useful. It isn't helping the people.

The Democrats did have the House and Senate a few years ago. Why didn't they raise the minimum wage?

Obama is good at Executive Orders. Get er done.

Makes you wonder MORE why the psychopaths in DC keep insisting there is no inflation!

Instead of forcing employers to raise wages, which would result in higher UNEMPLOYMENT, how about come up with a plan that conditions Americans to slowly get used to paying more for all the CRAP they don't need, like electronics? Then, wages could be raised. Put a tax on all that crap that is NOT made in the USA, and give companies a reason to MAKE stuff in America again!

Lots of common sense things COULD be done to straighten out the economic mess created, but NOT when the FIRST priority is the LIFESTYLE of the sociopaths and psychopaths in DC! That's why you will never see traction on things like term limits, not letting Congressmen spend $2.5-$4.9 MILLION tax dollars EACH to "run their offices," making federal employees abide by the same rules as regular Americans in relation to health insurance, retirement, and other benefits.

I could go on and on, but it seems most deadhead liberals have convinced themselves that Democrats in DC are a completely different breed than Republicans (completely delusional), and they actually BELIEVE that these people living a BILLIONAIRE lifestyle on the backs of the taxpayers actually care about the people, and so, the BLESSED sociopath behavior by these 535 monkeys will continue until the world collapses around everyone.

Why put another patch on a blown out, useless old tire Peg?

Yahhhh Peg, makes you wonder why Americans put up with a sham, foreign private bank creating fake money out of thin air and dictating financial policy all the while manipulating the very economic health of the nation by expanding and contracting the "money supply" at whim and extracting the solid asset resources of an entire nation with what is basically "Monopoly money" ? Six thousand percent of our wealth has stripped surreptiously taken from the American people since 1914. What do you call that besides out and out theft?

We would HAVE no inflation if it weren't FOR machinations and manipulations of these criminal banksters.

From 1776 to 1914 there was little fluctuation in valuations and ONLY supply and demand drove prices up or down. NOT currency valuations!

Driving up a minimum wages is counterintuitive to the inflationary process!

Ignoring the problem is no answer either.

You wanna fix the problem? Kick the Fed OUT, return to a sound MONEY system and get rid of the national banks and lawyers who CREATED this impossibly predatory financial environment!

HELL, you don't have enough financial or economic knowledge to EVEN understand the ROOT of the problem, let alone offer solutions.

You argument is PURELY EMOTIONAL with NO COMPREHENSION of how it got this way.

So bugger off to fantasy land till you get a clue.
