30-year US Treasury yield hits highest level in 19 years

Why didn't you see a corresponding increase to the funding of SS when the minimum wage was increased, init? Contributions are a percentage of earnings--there should have been an increase in funding. I am all for workers--doubling the minimum wage did nothing for them. They increased their taxes. The working poor were taken off of the dole and inflation ate up the rest -- workers saw nothing. In addition MANY jobs were lost due to employers cutting back on entry-level jobs and hours. This isn't rocket science unless half of your brain has been lost to senility.

I see your point. The harder one works the farther behind they get

No you don't. You're incapable. NO ONE worked harder for that doubled minimum wage. It was a democrat scam to glean votes from people who aren't informed enough to understand---look in the mirror.

Yeah okay. Agree to disagree. Minimum wage has zero effect on higher wage jobs. Fact.

Not a fan of workers right?

I'm not a fan of lazy assholes.

That's a proven lie. Minimum wage jobs increase inflation which causes all jobs to increase in pay. But, thanks to inflation, the net gain is zero.

The secret is to actually have a skill that pays well. If you're a lazy bum, who didn't study, who has no skills, well then, YOU made your choice.

Live with it. But don't cry about those who put the work in.
