Bush and the Federal Reserve Board caused the major depression.

We didn't have a depression.
We did have the deepest recession since the Great Depression.
That's not a depression.

The real world. A college degree is not a "skill". It is not training. It is not a clear path to success. A degree will open more doors, result in higher starting wages, result in higher earning potential( the last three tied ot the performance of the individual) but it offers NO guarantees. There are no guarantees. Nor should their be.Sorry, but a living wage is what people used to start out at and our economy was much better than it is today. Of course the top tax rate was also 70% at the time and our corporations weren't shipping our jobs overseas, go figure.....
In the richest country in the world, the lowest paid worker should make a living wage.
You work up to more so you can support a family...the bottom should always be a living wage and when it's not, it's the taxpayer that foots the bill, further subsidizing the corporations, but you don't care about that, do you? Corporate welfare is all good with you, just as long as the working people don't get any of it.
Really? Where did you hear that garbage?
The notion of a "living wage" is a myth. A myth forwarded by union supporters and the lazy slackers who think that because they "put it time" deserve to be paid high wages.
It is not surprising a whiny person such as yourself buys into this garbage.
We each are responsible for improving our situation. If one's wages are not adequate for the type of lifestyle one wishes to have, you do what you must to improve that situation on your own. We ALL have choices.
Improvise overcome adapt.
" Ican't afford to my house payments/rent on the wages my mean rotten boss pays me."...That doesn't cut any ice.
The answer is. Don't buy what one cannot afford. If the rent it more than one can afford, move to where the rent is affordable. OR......WOW!! Improve one's skill set , go to school, etc so one CAN afford their desired lifestyle.
So, what world is it you live in again? You sure as heck don't live in this one, where hundreds of thousands of college graduates aren't getting jobs....
Just more Breitbart bullshit. They should be thankful that Obama isn't letting red states starve to death from the Great Bush Recession.
The GOP Is The Food Stamp Party
You side won the White House and you are STILL all pissed off. Such is the life of the perpetually miserable liberal.

So? The number of people with diagnosed mental problems exceeds the population of Wyoming too. So what?
I can't help but wonder what mental gymnastics one has to go through to be surprised that the number of food stamps recipients goes up during hard economic times.
Gee...who'da thunk it?
The darker America gets, the more it becomes a welfare state. But since it would be "racist" to point that out, we'll just keep trucking in that direction.

You libs just hate capitalism. When you get an entry level job you are suppose to move up through your own merits. Work two jobs, and save, and invest. No one owes you food. If your poor it probably your parents falt along ith yours. If you don't think your children are going to have a strong chance at independence than don't have any. It is not other people's responsibility to feed your children.
The biggest problem with America is a bunch of dumb ass people propagating.

no kidding.
as if what he posted is suppose to mean anything..the troll just post the same stuff over and over
Do you have any idea how many of those people collecting food stamps ARE working? This is what happens when you have a minimum wage that has the lowest spending power in history. We, the taxpayers, are in effect supplementing the wages for corporations like Walmart. They refuse to pay their employees a living wage, so their employees qualify for assistance which we the taxpayer provide.
a living wage, what do you say that should be?
I work for a school district and they start a person out at 9.50 an hour..one year we got a 25cent raise..
Many Republicans say you are overpaid.
Funny. When you libs are challenged to place a dollar figure on your so called living wage, you suddenly turn tail and run from the question.A living wage: enough for a cheap apartment, clothes, food, housing, utilities, medical care and transportation for one person.
right, and what would that be? 10, 20, 30 hour?
I guess that would depend on where you are living.
Tell me in your own words, how does giving more of the earned income of individuals to government increase wages to unskilled workers?A living wage is what people work toward, not start out at.
If you are 35 with a family, and you are still making minimum wage because you have been in the same job for the past 20 years; it is not the wage that is the problem.
Sorry, but a living wage is what people used to start out at and our economy was much better than it is today. Of course the top tax rate was also 70% at the time and our corporations weren't shipping our jobs overseas, go figure.....

Let me try to piece this together because it is very confusing.
"a living wage is what people used to start out at".
Define a living wage. Then place a number of what you deem to be "living".
"our top tax rate was 70%".
How does this correlate to wages in general? Does the government have a secret fund from which they supply working people with additional funds? And I am not referring to public assistance.
Back to the top tax rate reference....In what way do tax rates on individuals affect the business climate in that higher taxes kept business from going overseas?
Can you speak to the fact that while US Based businesses are relocating some work outside the US while foreign owned firms continue to build facilities here and employ people HERE.
" it's the taxpayer that foots the bill, further subsidizing the corporations,"...OK how is the leap made from wage levels to corporate subsidies?. Is it your belief that when companies pay lower wages than those that make you comfortable, government steps in and creates or increases these alleged subsidies?...
Look, I am not arguing with you. Just trying to follow your logic.
Just answer the questions to the best of your ability. Your answers are your answers.
You libs just hate capitalism. When you get an entry level job you are suppose to move up through your own merits. Work two jobs, and save, and invest. No one owes you food.
