Right, we still remember the promises of "hope & change" More like "bait & switch", Biden has a bad history on these matters Bernie had to stop Obama/Biden from trying to cut Social Security This would have driven Seniors into poverty thehill.com/news/senate/1951…

Democrats plead with Obama to abandon Social Security cut

The president proposed a new formula for calculating benefits in his budget last year.

And just to do the math...I spent $95 on 2 bags of groceries today. No meat, no chicken, no fish. So 6 hours at $15 is 2 bags of nothing.

When minimum wage hits $15 per hr those that were at the current minimum wage were eligible for Medicaid to pay part of their deductibles & premiums. Raise now will now put them above that gross income level leaving them with a 6k deductible & higher taxes & less $

The best argument is that NO person in the U.S. should live in poverty.

In order for that to work you have to put a price freeze on EVERYTHING. What's to stop greedy landlords from raising rents? And stores hiking prices?

As a way to keep Biden and the Dems on target this is a fine message #NoExcuses
