winner and still undefeated: increasing the minimum wage

[ChesusRice]

Honestly.

Yes feel free to tell the truth

 

[Rob Roy]

Yes feel free to tell the truth

I don't feel free, do you?

 

[ChesusRice]

I don't feel free, do you?

Yes I feel free.
If I didn't I would move to another country.
How come you haven't?

 

[UncleBuck]

Wages increase, so will prices. It makes little to no difference for the people who supposedly will benefit.

demonstrably false.

when min wage goes up, so do other wages and they outpace any rise in prices.

the BLS numbers prove this.

try to have your talking points based in reality, princess.

 

[UncleBuck]

It's bad for anyone not making minimum wage in terms of purchasing power etc. Odds their salary goes up commensurate with the minimum is about 0%.

empirical evidence disagrees with your non-reality based mouth farting.

 

[UncleBuck]

Well, a minimum wage worker is going to have no savings. So that money goes into the economy. Which increases demand and in turn prices. It makes things more equal, sure - equally shitty for all.

run the BLS numbers on a dozen eggs over time and compare it to wages.

you will see that you are wrong and only exposing that you are a stooge who repeats non-reality based GOP talking points.

i frankly feel sorry for anyone so stupid as to repeat falsehoods like that without even examining the numbers.

 

[UncleBuck]

Again, I recommend not having opinions on subjects you don't understand at even a basic level.

that would be you in this case.

wanna review the BLS numbers, or you just gonna tuck tail?

 

[UncleBuck]

How do you earn a living?

he's a freeloading mooch.

how much you wanna bet the old man is on social security that he never paid into?

Sounds like a naive young man who just got kicked out of his mom's house and is living with his grandma

either that, or he is going through the longest ever insufferable 'just read ayn rand' phase.

Ayn Rand wrote about people who worked or were already wealthy and liked to be raped

maybe that explains why robroy calls everything rape, including selling gasoline to a black customer.

Speaking of social security, that is a program that desperately needs some restructuring before its too late. Shits gonna hit the fan in 2033 so when need to start adjusting now so we don't get nailed with a large tax increase then.

increase the cap from $108K to ???? and it will be solvent forever.

i'm just glad to see that you are not one of these wackadoos who thinks it is some sort of ponzi scheme that will stop paying out completely in 3 months.

Nah man, 2033 is where they wont be able to pay what they say and will need to make large tax increases. We need to increase the shit now so when i'm 50 they just rape me with one big jump. The way we americans are built won't let us plan ahead, we like to change policy before the system collapses.

The Post 9/11 G.I Bill pays the full tuition at a state school the individual is a resident of. They also give you 9 months of BAH a year for whatever location the school is located.

You are talking about the yellow ribbon program specifically, but after looking into it more you are correct about all the benefits that Vets get nowadays. That's awesome for your friend, my GI Bill payed $578 a month for a total of 36 months and you got nothing else really.

That's true, but SS is pretty much setup just like a ponzi, it absolutely must have people paying in for it to pay out. There is no actual money set aside, just IOU's. Can't spend IOU's.

First of all, the Social Security Trust Fund contains no “IOUs”. Exactly what are these “IOUs” to which you refer? They are a variety of T-bills. IOUs do not produce any interest income or other gains. T-bills earn interest.

T-bills are considered by all financial planners and chartered financial consultants to be the safest investment we have. The argument against this is pushed by republicans who want to see all your Social Security money invested in Wall Street, the same folks who brought you the banking crisis and crash you’re still dealing with.

T-bills are not IOUs, but don’t let facts interfere with your need to parrot grossly erroneous propaganda.

And BTW, payouts of Social Security benefits each month have no effect on the national debt, in case you may think otherwise.
