If politicians were actually concerned about "fiscal responsibility" they would raise the minimum wage so that we could stop subsidizing the poverty wages of Wal-Mart and Amazon
Uhm, @DanPriceSeattle this could only happen in the absence of inflation and other price increases of goods and services. ie min wage pay raise is null & void w/ cost increases like gasoline increased 25-30%, beef up 35-40%, over 350% increase in lumber, etc…
