Well, you just lied. I didn't claim to be an "expert", as you went out of your way to put in quotes. There are no experts when combining politics and economics. You see, this stuff is "very complicated", and "unexpected variables" will certainly appear.You can't tell me? So you claim to be an "expert" but when you're asked to explain the crap you're posting here...you're response is "couldn't tell you."? Are you kidding?Couldn't tell you.Ah...a "short term shock"? What does that really mean, Mac? People not getting hired who need jobs? Businesses closing because they can't afford a wage like that in places in the country that don't have wage costs that even remotely approach those levels? How long do you estimate that short term will be?I suspect it will be absorbed after a short term shock.OK...so what do YOU think a 15 an hour minimum wage is going to do?Oh, you took economics in college! Why didn't you SAY so???I actually took Economics in college. Most of you liberals seem to have a hard time even grasping the basics, Mac! It's why you think a huge minimum wage is a good thing!There's one now.With all due respect, Mac...liberals grasp on economics is so poor it's laughable! You coming here and claiming that it's conservatives that don't "get it" borders on farce!The Biden Economy will be more Tax & Spend, as opposed to Trump's Borrow & Spend. Far more fiscally responsible.
Trump's All You Can Eat Fiscal Donut Truck™ is closing. Thank goodness.
Trumpsters have been told that they're more informed on economics. Just another lie they've eagerly swallowed.
I'm a CFP/Investment Advisor. It's been my profession for 20+ years. I live it every day.
Believe whatever you want. I know how it goes.
We are now in a position where we have no choice. We should have been increasing it with inflation all along. Then we wouldn't have felt it.
You asked, I answered.
I'll try to keep this simple, though I know I'm probably wasting my time: I haven't seen a final plan yet. When I do, I'll know more about whether it would be a full increase or incremental. I'll also look at the rest of it for possible variables, such as the speed and proposed size of the increases.
See, that's how my mind works. I have to take this stuff seriously and thoughtfully, because this is my profession. You're just a Trumpster, ignorantly and arrogantly blurting things out on an internet message board.
