When I think of the BS from Washington and this relatively new description of denying a person an adquate living I think of the genius that thought of "Downsizing" and how the public bought into it.!!!  |
ADEQUATE LIVING-what does that mean? I grew up in poverty. Frankly, what we had or didn't have WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED OFF THE WORK OF OTHERS ALL THEIR LIVES ON WELFARE.
We are FED the spun line that incomes have not kept pace with inflation. OUR GOVERNMENT CONTROLS AND CAUSES INFLATION. We watch YELLEN say they have a TARGET of 2% inflation AND FEW ASK WHY. At 2% inflation every 36 years it will take twice as much money to buy the same merchandise, If, your employer awards you with a 2% raise YOU ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO BUY LESS because on a 2% raise AFTER TAXES you do not get to spend that extra 2%.
The talk of a minimum wage of 15.00 that YOU apparently support is only a backdoor attempt to fuel inflation. There will always be people on the bottom of the pay scale. You WORK YOUR WAY UP FROM THERE. How it WILL cause inflation is that the person now earning the $15.00 and hour will want say 20.00 and hour AND WE WILL ALL FIND THAT PRICES HAVE RISEN SO THAT IT NOW WILL COST 15.00 TO BUY WHAT USED TO COST 7.95.
FOR ME-living on savings, WE will find your projections for the life of your SAVINGS is no longer so.
WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT DESPERATELY NEED TO CAUSE INFLATION? If, they can pay their INSANELY HUGE DEBT with dollars they have deliberately devalued they are way ahead. The math escapes me but if I am right if they sucessfully devalue our currency by 2% the national 20 trillion dollar debt is reduced by 4 BILLION DOLLARS.
