This does a lot of good when all other costs go up or because of costs employers cut their hours……DOESN’T HELP ONE DANG BIT…..If the Gov’t wants to the people a raise, give them one that makes a difference….When they get a raise, you can bet your sweet butt it’s not a measly .25 cents.

A lot of people are in a minimum wage job through no fault of their own. If you were working for a company affected by the Bush recession, it might well be you trying to keep your family fed and not becoming homeless.

This “raise” of 0.14 cents works out to be a whopping $5,60 for a 40 hour week which is almost impossible to get.

Is this really the way we want to live, making millions for Mc Donalds, WallMart and the rest while not making enough to have a reasonable life for your self and your family?

Henry Ford was right when he said ” I want my employees to be able to buy my products”.

He understood! No middle class, no consumers, no profit, and no company follows.

@WOW

Obama wants to give all the high school dropouts a raise to $9.00 an hour. Why not $25.00 an hour? The countries great slide to mediocrity continues.

Now they can raise the prices of everything else and it will seem like no increase was given. You cant live on $7.79 and you dang sure cant live on $7.93. Every job that I have ever done for minimum wage could have easily paid $10 or more per hour. You cant live on minimum wage and if you have a family that’s even worse.
